Comments: Good afternoon! I am an educator in WNC working with National History Day and ABMC to research and write the story of PFC James W. Corbin who was born and resided in Wake County until he was sent to the Korean conflict. PFC Corbin was taken as a prisoner of war in February of 1951 and passed shortly afterward. His remains were never recovered, and he is memorialized on the Honolulu Memorial in Hawaii. I would love to connect with any family or friends who might want to assist in this research and storytelling venture. Thanks for taking the time to read!

I did not know my father, as he was full on military from 12/7/1940 until his suicide on 9/13/1971. I was almost 16.
He was Military Intelligence after Korea, and was only home 2 weeks of every year.
He flew over Rommel in Egypt and Africa and fought in Italy, Korea, and Vietnam.
Looking for pictures and any information at all. I have sent requests to Army etc but get a lot of redacted pages.

I am looking for info to try to prove a silver star I found and he is wearing in an era specific photo. Please excuse me for being so late to this. I was born in 76 and grew up playing baseball in the street in a world he fought for, like I heard a guy say so I wouldn’t have to. I just thought my great uncles stories were stories because grandpa never spoke of it. I found a couple of awards in a box, a vet said to look them up and here I am. I have him leaving basic on 8/51 and departing Oahu on the General A E Anderson. He shows one year and 26 days foreign service. Specialty number 1745. And made CPL(t) on 4/15/53. I have some pictures that are Fco I think because of the twins talked about in another message here. I anyone would like to see them. I also have what look original, a Korean accommodation for the 78 AA batik lion and I’m not sure why he kept that. I’m late and don’t have much so I’m looking and also willing to help any I can if anything I have helps. As there kids get older let’s keep it up so it’s not forgotten. Freedom is not free, lots have paid for me. I had him out before he passed and he was the last one in his generation. They lost their farm to the dust bowl, all three of his brothers died young, and his dad died when he was an infant. He had something happen in Korea and as soon as he got back lost his first and only son to SIDS. He wept and said I’m the lucky one. Thanks.

Comments: Looking for any information about Bloody Ridge that led to the death of my uncle, First
Lieutenant Francis T. Carlson from Jamestown, New York. Although I was named for him
(Mark Francis Wilson), we do not have any information about his service.
His mother died of a heart attack on the front porch when she received the telegram informing
her of his death.
