Comments: i served with 4th plt, co. D, 2nd bg, 12th cav, 1st cav division, from july 1962 til
july 1963 in Blue Lancer Valley. near nullo-ri. was actually reunited with my dad
there for 2 weeks until he went stateside in early august. he was SFC Willard
H.Jordan and was plt. sgt of either 1st or 2nd plt co. D. my memory is getting a
little fuzzy on some things. lots of memories of those days. some rough but many good
ones, in retrospect. i was 17 years old and felt very proud and honored to be serving
on freedoms frontier, as they called it. you know how gung ho youngsters can be,
especially army brats. : ). it would be a real treat to hear from any of the guys i
served with or, actually, just anyone who was there. i only accidently, about a week
ago, stumbled on to. spc4 julio martinez's Blue Lancer Valley web site and have been
chogeying hills, slogging through rice paddies and high stepping through deep snow,
manning OPs and running MDL patrols in the DMZ as well as MDP guard, and MLR patrol
and pulling regular guard duty around BLV, range 1 echo, rear gate and easy block and
seemingly thousands of other things in my memory ever since. i highly recommend his
web site to any one who served at BLV, or, anywhere in the frozen chosun. as, his
web site led me to others which eventually led me to this one. thanks to the founders
of this site for all the hard work putting it together. it is a great site and much
appreciated, i'm sure, by all veterans of the korean experience

Comments: Received denial for my claim on 30 Jan. In the presumptive time, presumptive unit, presumptive everything, denied because I had only five days of medical records. I spent fourteen months in Korea did my time riding the wire, night patrols the whole nine yards, and was denied because there are no records. I thought I had a very solid claim, wrong. I had buddy statements, solid proof of service in their presumptive time, DD214, diagnosis of my condition for seven years, statements from my wife, but because I only had a five consecutive days of medical records, all of which were dental charts, not medical records, I was denied.
The verbage that the VA uses, is completely different from present day diagnosis. They have all the bases covered. But I refuse to go away, and I will appeal, appeal, and appeal until I die. Boots on the ground in NAM, approved, service on The DMZ, we all have a very tough road to hoe. Good Luck Bro's.

Funny cause I have a prior vet same scenario who qualified but this guy is denied, go figure the VA. Where can I find the papers showing he was receiving combat pay for DMZ duty, and that can place him there? His 201 file did not have any such orders. Does any one have any recollection of a fratricide killing involving a soldier named Sholak, or a variation of that last name? VA claims that the DMZ was NOT a hostile area in Korea. I need help countering all these VA allegations. Awards are Korea Defense Service Medal Soooooooooooo I need some help fellows. Thanks

Buring the many different runs I can attest to the fact that all of the sites had one thing in common. no trees, grass, or bushes on the firing and radar sites. i fact i have pictures tacken a c batery showing this lack of said items.
while many of my rips to osan we made with a 715 i had to make a few trip ith a q21/2 truck so i was direcked to use the truck entrance. as you entered the gate to the right side as you went in was in fact the mixing plant foe the agent orange plant that was used to spray the agent orange.
I have since talked with air force personel who were stationed a osan afb who were given agen orange compensation. I further beleive that not only 7/5 but all 38th bde units were subject to multiple sprayings of agent orange.
I have had at least 2 of the desieses associated with agent orange and have had been denied my claim.
after reading some of the other articles on this web site I went back into my old photo albums and found some of those old photos showing c battery and one with me that i hope will settle the question. if it does I will make them alalible to all.

Comments: I am just adding a little of my Army history on this site. I was assigned to Aco. the
first part of Feb. 1963 after almost 4 weeks at sea on the General Danial S. Sultan
then landed at Inchon. It was so cold that our breath would freeze and fall to the
ground as we breathed. Naw Just kidding, but it was cold. Anyway I was the gunner on
A-34 for Plt. Sgt Overshaun from the day I signed in until about May. It was about
then that our company was to be reassigned to the 1st CAV Div. on the DMZ and to be
the only tank company on the DMZ at that time. When we left Camp Beavers, the 40th
became the 1/73 armor and it went from 5 line companys to just 3. Our new designation
was Aco, 2/15th Armor and for about 2 months I was the 1sg. jeep driver then I
persuaded him to put me back on a tank. He did and I was the driver of A-22 until my
new T.C. was put in charge of the mess hall, at that time I was a PFC but we were
short on NCOs so i was the new TC for A-22 until I left in mid Jan. 1964. When I got
to Korea I was 17 1/2 years old, but I felt like I was more like 24 when I left the
company. I don't regret any of my 3 tours in Korea, 1973-74, 1976-77, and if I had it
to do again I would. I am now 68 and my health isn't like it should be or was, and I
just wanted to put this up hoping someone will read this and know that my entire 24
1/4 years in the army was either on tanks or a first sergeant of a tank company. That
was what I wanted from the age of 6 and with Gods help and blessings, I completed my
life long dream. May God bless all my fellow soldiers I served with and the ones that
didn't get to come home. I love the Army and being a TANKER is the greatest thing
that could ever happen to a young man.
Keywords: My first platoon in Korea I was given the nick name, GRAVELS because of my last name,
PITTS. Later when I was a platoon sergeant I was known as POP because I was usually
either the oldest or most experienced tanker in the platoon. Then when I became First
Sergeant, I was known as TOP, FIRST SOLDIER and many other names I won't post here.
Each of my tours to Korea had an incident or two where some troops were killed or
wounded by the north koreans but the news only made it back to the states in 76 when
Operation PAUL BUNYON took place. I had so many good friends through out all of those
years I can't remember all. First tour there was Pfc Cook, Pfc Kingrey, SFC Wilson,
SSG Ware, SSG Jackson, SP/5 John Battle, SFC Young, 1SG Godwin, CAPT. Lacy M.
Jackson, 1SG Curtis, SFC Mathews. Second tour C Troop 4/7 CAV at Camp Rice later
renamed Camp Garry Owen, was, SSG Ted Henson, SSG Ed Woldgang, SFC Jack Miller, SSG
Stanley Mack, my driver Pfc, John Leontif. My third tour, C co. 1/72 Armor Camp Casey
Plt Ldr. 2nd LT Des Longchamps Jr., SFC West, SSG. Ray Sturdivant, a true friend and
brother, SSG Bill Wolfe. My mind just can't remember all when I want to. But my
career started on the DMZ of Korea and ended on the East German border with the 3

Comments: It's been 51 years since I first walked on Mae Bong's summit as a young 2nd Lt. and was stunned by the view down a long valley into North Korea. The site was newly constructed so it has no perimeter wire, no machine gun nests, no handrails nor heated outhouses. My first thought was "What am I doing here?"
It was only after I read our manual on "Terms of Engagement" that I understood why we were there. Our orders prohibited us from firing at an enemy aircraft unless we actually saw open bombay doors and they were headed towards us. We were South Korea's tripwire.
I would love to hear from any of Mae Bong survivors.
Some of my memories include: The long ride on dirt roads to Chunchong and the
building of the dam
The women along side the road with babies on their
backs making gravel from large rocks with
their hammers as part of the road paving
project
The 13 mile trip to the top of Mae Bong
Having to use the handbrake on the jeeps after losing
the footbrake due to fording the creeks on
the trip down from the TAC site
Allowing the local whores to use the showers in the BOQ
in the wintertime
The frozen black potatoes
The horrible reconstituted milk served in aluminum
pitchers.
The 30 days it never got above - 30 degrees
The 30 days of continuous downpour and the mud.
Eating C rations from WW 2 when our supply trucks
couldn't run due to flooded rivers/
The day our supply run truck was overturned in the river
drowning everyone including some civilians.
The locals stealing our como wire on a regular basis
The locals stealing components from our radars and us
having to buy them back in Chunchon so we
could back on line.
After a thief was killed we were issued shot guns and
when another thief was wounded we were
issued one shell and ordered to keep it in
a fooed top pocket.
Our guard dogs bloody footprints in the snow around
Mae Bongs perimeter
Teaching Lt. Heward how to play chess
Building the concrete patio behind the BOQ with
Lt. Hatcher.
Drinking pitchers of martinis after duty in the BOQ
Our CWO trying to screw a whore on the bar in
the BOQ until our Captain stopped them.
The civilian who was in charge of maintaining our
roads and water supply locked a whore
in his room for a week.

My first glass of real milk upon my return home.

Served in the Eighth Army in Korea during the period of 1961- 63 in Battery F of the Fourth Missile Battalion at Moon Hak-dong near Inchon. His parents were living in New Mexico during his tour in Korea. He was an SP5 and was a security guard. He had a brother and sister. I want to clarify the fact that my father was with my mother during the term of my pregnancy. My mother also shared the fact that my father did hold me after I was born on January 10, 1962.

Comments: Looking even just one army personnel who was a member of the 10-man patrol
who were replacing MDL signs at the DMZ and were pinned down by N. Korean
outpost on March 15, 1969 (published on VFW magazine - 10/2012). Unfortunately
10 man were reduced due to the 4 were lost because of the helicopter crashed. One
is a KATUSA. Also, the infantry who were with me at the Outpost Beryl during the
over 4-hour firefight. Their Unit is A Co, 23rd Infantry, home base Camp Pelham. I
was the Forward Observer at the outpost at that time while the Lieutenant in
charged was off-duty. I am looking for a soldier(s) who was there so I cold help him
and he could help me with our VA claims.

ages should be around 65- 69 years old by now. Please call me ANYTIME at this
number 209-204-8040/ identify your self and give me your number and (If I was

Comments: On March 15, 1969, I was the forward observer at OP Beryl. Approx 12:30 PM. I
saw people down below just passed our outpost and I asked the Lieutenant in
charged who those people are. He replied those are our patrol. and I asked what the
hell they are doing down there. He said they are replacing markers. within a minute
here came fire to outpost beryl and a radio message from the patrol that they were
hit and were pinned down. Message: One instant killed and 3 wounded. Once, the
firing started I grabbed my radio and called home base (Camp Pelham) Fire
mission, fire mission and said repeatedly this is real. this is real. we fired back and
forth to the N. Korean Outpost I was waiting for permission about my request. i was
told to wait.. I said we are going to get killed here. Finally, I got the message back:
request to fire denied.
I almost cried because out patrol could not even leave because they were in the
open field. My artillery unit told me that they could only give me smoke rounds. So I
gave them the grid coordinates and i fired twice. i even saw the big smoke between
our patrol and the N. Korean OP. that intensified the fire power on us. The patrol
escaped without further casualties. Our Outpost (Beryl) was under fire and it got
caught on fire. And I yelled fire lets get out of here everybody went to the trench
line. The outpost was burned to the ground. That's when the N. Korean stopped
firing. Probably because they saw our place was burned. Approx. 5pm there was a
loud explosion on south side. and I asked what was that. later we found out that
the helicopter which about to transport the wounded (3) and the dead soldier went
down due to an explosion. Nothing left. total casualtyies 7 - 3 crews included. of the
crews is a physician...... Now anyone on the 23rd Inf, 2nd ID who were at OP Beryl
and also soldiers of the 10-man patrol (7 left) Please have me contact at my
number (209) 204-8040 call anytime. You may leave a message and I will call you
right away and thats is a promise. My address is 3625 Jarena Drive, Modesto Ca
95357. It will be helpful to both of us. I will give you more info once I meet you.

Comments: My father was Lt. Col. Herbert L. Daschbach, Jr., who commmanded
Company C roughly during the period 1961-1963. He also taught for
many years at the Army Intelligence School at Fort Holabird,
Maryland. He retired in 1972 and passed away in 1986. This was
long ago, I know, but I was wondering if anybody might remember
him. My email address is Dashiba@verizon.net. Thank you. Herbert
