Comments: Please allow me to use your very informative site for my attempt to search for my own past.
But let me first present myself: My name is Lene Eul/Wul-Soon Yang/Pedersen. I'm a Danish Korean-adoptee (who is now living in Italy), and who desperately is trying to rebuild a puzzle from the past. And I wonder if anybody out there, who served in Korea in the years 1968-1970, could help me.
What I'm trying to do is to re-construct my past from which I have only vague body memories. To these memories is a strange feeling to in some way or another being connected to the American troops or/and camps north of Seoul - in the area around Uijeonbu and Tongdoochon.
A couple of years ago I happen to get the chance to visit Camp Casey - and I had this very strange feeling that the place felt familiar. Almost like I'd been there before.
This has finally given me the courage today to ask this question, which has been nagging me for quite a time now. I would like to know if anybody, who has been living in one of the camps nearby the DMZ have a memory or knowledge of a young Korean woman, who died (or someone found dead) with her baby/little girl in the years around 1969 (or 1968)? I believe the girl was around 1-year old, but she could have been younger or older. Or/and that this Korean baby was brought to or went through Camp Casey (or one of the other camps nearby) - and then abandoned/transfered to the Yangju Baby Home in Tongdoochon, where KWAK, Sun-Yong was superintendent?
I would therefor be very grateful, if anybody could provide or help with ANY kind of information related to this subject, even that it seems meaningless. Thanks a lot for your patience - and forgive me to disturb you on this personal matter!
Best regards
Lene Eul-Soon Yang

We got caught in a blizzard and I really thought we were going to freeze to death.
We had so mmany clothes on that we couldn't get to what we had to get to to piss, so we did it in our pants. Some of the guys got frost bite of the genitals.
Despite these, we managed to have some good times. If any of you are still around, I'd like to hear from you. I am also curious to know when the 304th broke up and got relocated. Finally, if anyone knows of any unit citations we got please let me know. I know we got a Presidential Unit Citation, but from there on IDK.

The first cav and the second inf and seventh inf have rich and glorius histories, richly deserved, but the 38th has no history. Some of our men have been affected by the agent orange spraying in the sixties and some state the early seventies. A large trailor of leaking barrels of agent orange was buried outside a Korean village in the late seventies.I am looking to hear from our men to build a history we can be proud of and hopefully we can get to know some of the men who walked the same route we did. I also need to hear from people who know about the spraying of agent orange outside the DMZ. The more information we have the more we can help our men get the benifits they earned and deserve. If you have or know of any information that will help our men please contact me, support our troops.

Comments: This is the 2nd request that I have written. I am doing so because I have read several reports about agent orange used in Ascom Korea and other parts of Korea even before I was stationed there in 1962. I was in the 226th Ord Det. Ascom was an Ordinance Depot and God only knows what was stored there. Yet the V.A. denies claims to those who have diseases caused by agent orange or similar chemicals under other names. The Dr's. keep asking me if I had come in contact with any chemicals (meaning ones that are similar to agent orange, which cause diseases) my response is "I don't know". The Dr's. are not ignornant of the causes of agent orange but cannot say that they know for sure that we have come in contact with it, only the v.a. knows the truth but has constantly denied the use of it. I remember using chemicals to spray weeds around my equipment but do not know what it was. It appears that agent orange was highly used but we cannot prove it unless comeone can come up with some proof of documentation. I have heard about broken barrels of chemicals even agent orange in Ascon and Camp Casey and on the D.M.Z.. So my plea is to those who may have information pretaining to my and othe request of others. Please, please, please e-mail me. You will be helping a veteran in need. Thank You.....Ron Syphard

Comments: I arrived in Korea during the beginning of the tet
offensive on Feb. 12, 1968. I started at McCord AFB
in Seattle thence to Hawaii, Midway Island. Guam and
Kimpo. My first memory is getting a large dose of
gamma-globulin shot in each cheek at Kimpo.
I arrived at ASCOM the next day and stayed for 13 months. I was not a certified surgical technician
but I started almost immediately on a surgical unit.
The first case I scrubbed on was a self-inflicted
gun shot wound; a .45 auto round to the chest. I never
forgot this one because it took him three days to die.
Sinchon or little city was quite a place. I always
associated business girl with a fortune 500 company.
The business girls in Korea were sitting on their
gold mines. There was a critical shortage of equipment
and man-power as all of you well know. Some of the
helicopters flown in 1968-69 belonged in museums
even then. On March 15, 1969 six days after I left
the 121st hospital lost its emergency room physician
Dr.Ben Park and the chief helicopter pilot Maj Rothwell. I was out processing as CPT. Park was
arriving. I remember a number of friendly fire episodes
as well as dropped weapons resulting in GSW. I especially remember a personal hero of mine Dr. Duffield a general surgeon and genius.I did not like
the Army and got a few article 15's mostly for mouthing
off to NCO lifers. Almost forty years later I realize
that these were the best men I ever met or ever will
know.Considering the hellish conditions in North Korea
the war and what we were involved in was necessary.
I met the Pueblo crew; several of them I talked to
at length. Richard Rogala then of Niles IL and
Seaman Law. Stay healthy

Comments: i am seeking information on my deceased father's military service - especially the period of May 1960 and Nov 1960 when he entered Korea as a 2nd Ranger Plt. Ldr. My father died in 1989, and a year prior to that, told my sisters and I the story of this particular period when he was stationed in Korea. He said he had remained quiet for almost 30 years but wanted us to know before he died - this "secret". This being that between May 1960 and Nov. 1960, he was actually a part of a special ops unit consisting of a dozen men that went on numerous missions into vietnam. the mission was to map the ho chi minh trail. i have researched extensively this past year, obtained his military records and have numerous questions and yet no real answers. can anyone out there help me? there are some interesting, perplexing facts in his records and i guess we just want the truth and closure. if anyone has advice or info. please contact me. thank you.

Comments: I have not seen anything about the important recognition that has been given to Korean DMZ vets during the past year. The award of the Korea Defense Service Medal and revised award criteria for the CIB should be of interest to many DMZ vets. If you want additional information go to the Korea Veterans of America Inc. website at: http://kdvamerica.org/
This recognition is long overdue for the thousands of men that put their lives on the line over several decades.
Congrats to all that served.

Comments: I was a Sgt teaching Top Secret crypto at FLW,Mo when I decided I wanted to go to Nam after a year.Felt that I needed to go ,as so many of my friends had.Sent the 1049 in for request and received my orders for APO 96224.A friend had just returned from duty in Korea and he informed me that was the Korea APO,not VN.Tried to get orders changed,but could not work with Uncle Sam.Never will forget getting off the plane at Kimpo and smelling the pig pen scent of a nasty place.
Went to the 2nd Replcement Detachment and finally after 3 days received my orders for my duty across the Imjin river.Having a critical MOS the BDE did not know where to put my duties where they could benefit from my tour.My first assignment was to work with a civilian contractor from Texas that had a governmemt contract to lay lead telephone cable underground along the complete 38th.My job was to assist supervision and protection of the 30 or so Korean civilians that were digging the ground of 4ft to lay the cable.It was either a Sat or Sunday in the afternoon when we heard loud explosions and small arms fire about a quarter of mile away.Very quicky we crabbed our M-14's and I made sure my 45 was stacked.Upon arrival at the site,the enemy had crossed back into the north,but I will never ,never forget the carnage the bastards had done.The Sgt's 45 was missing as well as all the men's cloths.The 4 men were are killed to my speculation from the grenades,but the north koreans wanted to make sure each man was dead and had used the Sgt's 45 to shoot each man in the head.Immediately our Divisions went on full alert,looking for a full frontal attack.By the grace of God it did not happen.For years I have lived this in my mind and more than likely will the rest of my life.My duty continued for several more months, and I persnally found one undetonated anti tank mine in the middle of the road close to Pammujon.The other was a 155 bomb the Korean's were hitting with a pick saying it was a water line.Needless to say I am shivering now as I think back running up to the sight and hearing the picks hit the bomb.I called demo in and they said that several stikes had come lose to the cone detinator.I can say that this was the hardest part of my tour as we moved our Division from Libby bridge to Freedom at Camp Greaves where I took over operations of the switchboard,located in a bunker from the early 50s.Later on took the duties of being theater manager at Camp Greaves,where I received a letter of appreciation from the Commanding AFMPS in Seoul.Earned my Imjin badge and diploma and display them proudly.Developed Diebtes 13 years ago from Agent Orange and hope all DMZ Vets will fight for your compensation if you were exposed.AO can cause a lot of different medical conditions,the worst being lung,prostate and other cancers.Sorry this comment colume has taken up so much space,but I just had to relate these actions to my fellow brothers in arms.May God Bless All of You and lets not forget our comrades that gave the ultimate sacrafice.
