wanted to know the name of the hospital, it was not a
MASH unit, but a structered brick building, probably used
by the Koreans as the bathrooms were very small.

Comments: Lord, what have I gotten into? After 15 months
enjoying the Japanese and their culture, I am now in
a land of total chaos.
Sgt Preston Cox, Wallace Leavitt, Sgt Timmons, Sgt
Gill, Cpl Tamaki, Cpl Kitchen: All of us crashed into
a situation never imagined. Up and down the
peninsula of Korea day after day changing position,
never in one place more than two or three days. Need
a shower, no hot water, no showers or bath places at
all. Lord, do we stink! Landed here on the 4th of
July, 1950 Left here on the 18th of August, 1951/
Ran like hell when the Chinese jumped the Yalu river.
How scary was that? You can't believe just how much
you miss the okd days of just a few weeks ago. I
need info from anyone else who was there during these
chaotic, scary days. Good times, bad times, times
when you wondered how you managed at all and yet I
still would do it all again.

Keywords: July 4th 1950. Pusan, Korea

Comments: About a year ago, my mother sent me a package that had over 50 letters that my dad and his brother had written home to their dad while they were serving during the Korean War. My father Charley Miller, served in the Army at 724th Ordnance Battalion in the 24th Division. I was pleasantly surprised that although they were written almost 60 years ago, they were very contemporary and could have been written last week. I was also intrigued at how often they would write, sometimes every 2 or 3 days.
The details in the letters while intriguing, are unfamiliar to me. From complaining about Ordnance inspections by Chinese Nationalists and Uncle Ziggy's agitations to tales of R and R at the Gajoen Kanko (Guy-Joe-Inn) and bartering for Cokes with the Colombian battalions. The film will use the letters my Dad and his brother wrote as the cornerstone. I am hoping to add interviews with veterans to expand in detail on the common themes and stories that are found in those letters.

If you are interested in participating in this new project, sharing stories , photos or information please emai
