Comments: I was drafted in 72 and sent to Fort Polk for basic. After basic I was fortunate enough to be sent to Fort Gordon, Georgia for MP school. Both places were a real experience!
Upon finishing MP training I was sent to South Korea and assigned to Co A 728th MP Bn in ASCOM. What the new guys did not realize at the moment was that Co A was about to be moved to Taegu and ASCOM given to the ROKs. My first night at ASCOM I accompany a SSG to the scene of a "quick draw" accidental death involving
two young GI's.
A month later I find myself moving to Camp Carroll to be part of a new security squad assigned to the 260th.
Our job was to ride freight trains leaving Camp carroll Depot to mostly Pusan in the south. I rode a few trains but mostly did gate duty and line duty at Camp Carroll. The last few months of my tour I was a desk sergeant at the PMO. It was an amazing time!

Comments: Great site, thanks! I was an MP stationed at Camp Irwin in September 1979. I wasn't there long but got to go for my duece-n-half license and I did some town patrol with a Katusa at Camp Casey. I got a good deal of partying in and drank my share of Ginroe and Oscar. I also had just enough time to have a nice dog fur collar coat made for me. Unfortunately, On Oct. 11, 1979 I was detailed to clean the weapons in the arms room on the missile site we guarded. I asked my buddy to help with the job and I left to go to the latrine. When I got back to the arms room my buddy was holding two .45's pointed at me. He pulled the first trigger...click. Then he pulled the second trigger...KA-POW!!!! I got hit square in the chest! Long story short...Thanks to then LtCol. Albuss for saving my life at the 121st in Soeul. Does anyone know anything about this. The guy who shot me was named Lowry from California I think. I love to hear from anyone who might have been there.

Comments: Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all.
Looking to see if anyone worked with my dad John R. Stewart, at Camp Red Cloud in the mid 70s and 80s.
I was at Camp Casey 1/31 Inf (M) CSC 76-77, and 4/12 Cav Fort Polk La 77-79
If you did know of John R. Stewart let me know.
Stay strong Brothers

Comments: A Military Christmas Salute
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasnt loud, and it wasnt too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didnt quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
What are you doing? I asked without fear,
Come in this moment, its freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts.
To the window that danced with a warm fires light
Then he sighed and he said Its really all right,
Im out here by choice. Im here every night.
Its my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separate you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
Im proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at Pearl on a day in December.
Then he sighed, Thats a Christmas Gram always remembers.
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of Nam ,
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
Ive not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, hes sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue and An American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.
So go back inside, he said, harbor no fight,
Your family is waiting and Ill be all right.
But isnt there something I can do, at the least,
Give you money, I asked, or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that youve done,
For being away from your wife and your son.
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while were gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us.
