He said there was a guy that drown in the bathing pool while he was there. If any one remembers any of this or has other info that might help please contact us.

He flew an L19 Bird Dog with a red stripe on the tail/ small unit insignia beneth it. I was curious if anyone out there knew my father. He was part of a two-aircraft aviation section.

My hat is off to all who did their part and served in that war.

Service or Relationship: Army Veteran - Korea

Comments: Enlisted US Army in October 1951
Basic at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. some time at Fort Sill. Made it to Korea in October 1952 to B 75th.
Went to serve howitzers of 2nd Rocket in October while they were at Chorwon, I believe.
Our battery also sent two howitzers forward right across the road from the 2nd Rocket in the winter-spring of 1953.
Dropped a round on my little finger winter of 1953 loading a trailer in the dark, so I had a light duty slip for about four months.
Went through the hospital (another non-combat injury) at Pusan; asked if I could type, so I spent a few months typing up the rosters for ships bringing guys back. Typed myself on in September. Enlistment was over in September 1953.
Still too young to buy booze when I got back, so my mother had to go to the store for her veteran son.
Followed by college and 43 years (and counting) in education. I'm glad I got back, but I'm still glad I went. What I want now is a 1950 OD Ike Jacket big enough to hold me.
