Comments: I was w/ the Honor Guard in 1953 and pulled duty, ceremonies at Pershing Heights. Pulled duty at Gen Mark Clarks Residence 142. Also, stood formation for General William Dean after he was repatriated around September 1953. I have been trying to find any pictures that were taken at the ceremony and would gladly pay for them. I know we had news coverage but am not sure if it was Stars and Stripes, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Comments: My dad, Riley Kendall, of Valdosta, GA, was a legal liaison officer at Camp Drake Replacement Depot in Tokyo, from approx. 1950 - 1952. He was involved with processing many soldiers going to Korea. He taught classes on the preparation of wills, etc. My mother and I joined him there and lived first at a palace which had been divided into apartments, and then at Momote Village. We would love any information concerning these places, or contacts with anyone who might remember us!
