Comments: My father was in Company A, 453rd. Engineers Battalion during Korea. I know he was in Pusan and Chonju but that's about all. His name, Manford Gerald Wood, Sr. He went by "Gary". He passed away in 1988 from cancer. I have felt for a long time that our veterans haven't received the credit due them and and trying to reconstruct my father's military history for my grandchildren and theirs to come in future generations before it's too late. Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
