Comments: My father served with B btry 780th FA BN in Korea.
SFC Thurman S. Turner 1951-52 Would be willing to pass on any messages to him as he doesn't have a computer. Is there a written unit history of the 780th during Korea that I could obtain for my family archives? Thanks for any information.
