Comments: I'm a grandaughter of Bernabe A. Segura who was drafted in 1951. I have his discharge papers but am not sure what I'm looking at and how i can use any of the information to find out more about him.
I am also looking for information on Manuel Lopez who is my great uncle (half brother of my grandfather, Bernabe). If there is any information that I can get about him I would be grateful.
I am researching my family history and need all the help I can get.
Thank you!

Comments: Hi - I'm looking for a Sergeant Henry Ford who headed up the Repair and
Utilities at Seoul City Command in 1952/53. He was from Florida, but
settled in California for at least a few years in the 1960s. He was a good
friend of my husband's grandpa, and was there when my husband's
grandpa adopted a little boy, Christmas of 52. I'm writing a book about
the story and would very much like to speak with Mr. Ford if possible, or
at the very least so find a photograph of him. Any advice would be much
appreciated. Thank you.

From what I understand 73rd Eng "construction" BN was a corps level unit ( 10th corps). I dont know what company dad was in, but he was the RTO and he served under a Lt. Castanza (West Pointer). I understand that road maint was the primary task while he was there. Any information about this unit would be appreciated.
