I was wrong. By age, education and background, I can be Governor of the State of West Virginia. When I am elected I will serve as Governor of the State of West Virginia in an honorable manner. I will serve as you and I served long ago: with dignity, honor and integrity - at which point the corruption will end. I need with your help to achieve this goal. A very strong, militant Mafia-type political structure exists in West Virginia. It has been that way for decades. It is a difficult nut to crack. I need your help to crack it. I need help in gathering over 15,000 signed petition forms. Will you help? You and I can change the corrupt government of West Virginia, thereby benefiting every citizen in the State, their children and grandchildren. As with many of you, I had to leave West Virginia just to get a job, get some training, get something other than Wheeling Bill Lias' Mafia activities. THE GOVERNMENT OF THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA SHOULD COYNE OPERATED. Please visit my web site: www.coyne-assoc.com. Please contace me with your offer to help. I can do this job easily, but I cannot do it alone. We stood together 50+ years ago for a reason, for a cause. Please stand with me now! With your help we can and will win this fight. Thank you, Cpl.

I'm looking for anyone who may have known a Craig M. Brown from Ft.Thomas, KY. He fought in Korea sometime beteween 1951 and 53. I know he knew a guy named Roger Gormley I think and a Korean named or nicknamed Skoshi.
He died Jan. 1st 2000. At least he got to see his grandson and the new millenium. He never talked much about it but I was, and still am fascinated by his service.
I think I remember him saying something about Christmas Hill. He was wounded once in the hand. I think he also went to OTS. He made it to Sgt. but a "weasley"(his words),Lt. or Capt. was asking for a punch in the mouth afer much time fighting at the front. He obliged, and left proudly as he entered, a Private FIRST CLASS.
If anyone knows Craig M. Brown and has any stories I'd love to hear them and relay them to the grandson he'll never know.
Thanks,

Comments: My father died in February of 2001. He served with the 45th in Korea during 51-52. My mother died last month. When my sister and I were cleaning out the house, we found tons of pictures from Korea. We knew he served there, but he never talked about it. I am putting a scrapbook together for his grandson Billy and would appreciate any stories about Dad's service in Korea to go into the scrapbook. I do know that one of his buddies was names Leroy Swope. Thanks. Christy
