Comments: For the life of me I cannot remember which Company I was in. I am going to search old records to help remember. I can only recall our Company Commander Captain Bell. Other names escape me but if someone give me names I'd probably remember. I arrived in Nov. 56 and left in Feb. 58. We were in Butler bldgs. Not a real fun place but had some good friends that I completely lost contact with when I left. I came across one this year on another web site that was not in the 73d. He and another friend of mine were in the 52nd Signal Bn, I Corps,Camp Red Cloud, in Uijongbu (may be wrong spelling but pronounced wee'shon'boo) South of Seoul. Ray Anderson and Cliff Mecklenburg. Cliff is the one I found I visited them once and they visited me once. I started as a Loader, moved to Dispatcher and spent the last month in the Security Personnel Platoon. The spot they put you as a short-timer before you left. Don't remember what are duties were and didn't much care since we would be going home in 30 days or less. Now looking for reminders and old buddies.

Comments: I've been looking for info on the unit my dad (Atrhur Du Mont) served with while in Korea. Finally, found one but it's too late for him (he passed away 23 Jan 03). He never talked much about Korea except about a can of beans he put in the exhaust of his tank and it splattered someone behind him. I'd be interested in any stories or other info someone may have on or about him. I also have his citation for a Purple Heart he recieved. I'm proud of what he did and as an active duty member know some of what it's like. I've even been stationed in Korea- not even CLOSE to what my dad remembered. I took a video of the surrounding area and he was amazed at the difference. Thanks

knew Ralph Phillips from Ohio, I would love to
talk to you. I am also looking for some info on

Comments: I served with the 73rd Tank Battalion from late 1950-1952. I was sent to Japan due to an eye injury for a couple of months and was sent back to the 73rd. I drove Ammo and Fuel to the Tanks.
It is hard for me to remember names. I am a life member of the VFW-American Legion-Amvets-DAV- and the Cooties.
I have volunteered at the VA for over 12 years, I enjoyed every moment of visiting those deserving Veterans.
If anyone knows me by my name or the crazy things I did in Korea, please write me back through my Email addresss: Thanks, Ray
