Comments: Gene Tuney Hall was my uncle. He has 2 sister's who speaks of him often and still
grieve for him after all these years. His body was never found or sent home so there
is no closure for them. His body does not rest with the rest of his brothers/parents.
I am just seeking any type of pictures anyone might have of him while he was serving in
the military. My family would be so grateful.
Appreciate any help that can be given. I realize it is a long shot, but I got to try
for my Aunts sake...

He was sent to Korea on or after Nov of 1950 when the Division moved in to
the Wonson area to provide blocking protection for the Marines and 7th
Inf Div who were retreating from the Chosin Reservoir.

He was returned to duty in August, as were many thousands of others who
were wounded and determined to go back to fight. He was a proud Veteran and American. We miss him alot. He lived to be a grandfather and died of a heart attack in July of 1992.

Comments: I was on hill 281 in korea in 1951. I remember a panel man getting killed but didn't
know his name.

Someone was asking about a Cpl Sheahan regarding upgrading his Silver Star to
the CMH. Sorry I can't be of any help there. I do remember that being one tough day for
an 18 year old.

Comments: I am the grandson of PFC Sidney Elder. He was from western Pennsylvania. He served
with the 7th Infantry Regiment in Korea. I dont know much about his service except
he recieved 2 purple hearts. He later was a drill instructor at Ft. Polk Louisana
where he was injuried in a jeep accident that put him out of the service. I am a
veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and would like to know of anyone who may have
served with him or knew him.

Greatly Appreciated
Matthew Rairigh
