Comments: I would like to say what a great site. I want to pass this information along. There is a program that is being run through the DOD. Its for the Veterans of Korea. As long as you have the dd214, thats the discharge papers. There is a high school diploma available through your local board of education in conjunction with the DOD. I know its not much, but it
meant alot to my dad. My dad won his sargents stripes running a mortar squad for the 9th infantry. He wasn't
even a citzen at the time. He was an Irish citzen when
he was drafted.

Comments: I arrived at Pusan in late July 1950, on what I understood was the first boatload of troops to reach there from Stateside, Fort Lewis, Washington, aboard a tub named the SULTAN.
March 1951, I was among one of the first groups of whites to integrate the 3rd Battalion of the 9th, which until then had had all black enlisted men and just a few black officers. I served in the Mortar Platoon of "M" Company until June.
Our company commander was Cpt. BLACKSTOCK, an older, gray-headed WW II retread, and our platoon leader was 1st Lt. John M. BEEBE, both whites.
Among the brothers in the platoon that I especially remember was Cpl. Joe SPEED, who I think was from Cleveland, Ohio. A good boxer back at Fort Lewis, Joe was one of the best men I ever met. He had an infectious smile, a pleasant laidback manner, and fine sense of humor, all of which made the hard days of climbing near vertical mountains with 45 to 50 pounds of 81 mm mortar, pass faster.
Other brothers were an older man, a Pfc STEWART, who had the flattest feet I ever saw; Sfc LOVELADY, NCOIC of FDC; and Pvt. Melvin HAMILTON.
The whites were Cpl. Robert WEED, Pfc Leon E. GURLEY, and Pfc Richard "Dickie" TENANT.
I would love to hear from any of these guys, or any one who knew (or knows) them.

Comments: My father Russell (Mickey) Park served in Korea. He has recently been sharing some of his experiences with his children and grandchildren. He has mentioned on several occassions that he had received a "blue book" which gave information on his unit etc. He had left the book with his mother and it was never returned to him when she passed - no one knows what happened to it.
I would very much like to locate a copy of this "blue book" for him.
Has anyone ever heard of such a book and if so know how I would get one for him?
. I know it would mean a great deal to him to have this. I have done extensive internet searches but have come up empty handed. Thank you for your time and assistance

I'm not exactly sure of the dates but I think in 1948 he was in the 2end infantry div. 9th infantry regiment C Company, he was in 2 or 3 others as well but I will get him on here and he can look through to see if he can be of help to anyone. His 76th birthday is tomorrow and I was going to make him a plaque in recognition of his time served, I'm so thankful my Dad returned he is a wonderful person and father. Rhonda Reeves
