Comments: I miss Korea. I felt at home there. Though I always feel like I'm home wherever I am. I was pulled from the JSA to Greaves. I have heard it was ransacked and is now in the ROK Army's hands. Industrious people. Wonderful food. I caught SARS unfortunately and it almost killed me. I did 16 and took early retirement after an IED blast injury. I remember my first day there, 1st tour. I watched a cat taken by the water in a turtle ditch. The 1SG looked over and said, " Welcome to Korea boy". I would return 8 years later to the same spot, to say the same thing to a pair of skeeter wings out of basic. We lost too many in Iraq. Fellow Currahees. I miss you guys, and I loved you all.

Comments: I served at Camp Kittyhawk from Jan 1982 to Jan 1983. My best friend while I was assigned to JSA was Don Rice. After 35 years of searching I have finally located and contacted him. It was really great to talk to him again after so many years. While looking for some photos he asked me to send him, I came across my old JSA Alert Card. Is there anyone out there that can tell me what the purpose of the alert card was? I don't even remember being issued that card, let alone what the purpose of it was. I'm at that age now when the memory is not as sharp as once it was. So, I would truly appreciate an answer to my question if at all possible. Thank you kindly. In Front Of Them All

I dropped off Facebook since it seemed to be needlessly consuming my free time so haven't been able to keep up with some of the great guys I served with. I was the CP1 NCOIC and was best buddies with Marv Miller the Escort NCOIC. They adopted me as an Honorary Escort. I retired as an E-8 in 1992. I am now working for the Army in Orlando where we acquisition and field training simulators. It's great to be involved in helping ensure today's warriors are second to no one on the battlefield. I didn't know it at the time, but that one year from May 1977 to May 1979 was an awesome year in my life because of the great Soldiers I shared it with - well, also along with a few local friends I met in YonJuGol. :-)

Comments: I was working my 12 hours shift in the Tactical Operations Center at Camp Kitty Hawk in 1981 when the guard/sentry (Sp4 William Williams) at the compound's gate ran to where I was to inform me that our Commander, Colonel Sayles and his driver were heading north on the MSR without first getting clearance from the T.O.C. Shortly thereafter, gunfire erupted from inside the DMZ on the southern side of the 38th parallel. The 2nd Infantry Division, who were manning positions within the DMZ, did as they were trained and fired upon the vehicle on the MSR. I quickly assessed the situation and got on the secure radios, that had direct communication with 2nd ID, and called for an immediate ceasefire because it was my commander and his driver that was being fired upon. I coordinated a safe travel and return for my commander and his driver with the officer on duty from the command center of 2nd ID and our security forces at the northern and southern gates. I specifically, with respect, told Colonel Sayles that he and his driver were not to leave thecJSA to head south on the MSR without me giving clearance. When Colonel Sayles and his driver made it safely back to Camp Kitty Hawk, he came inside the secure area of the T.O.C. where I was working. He looked as if he'd seen a ghost and was exhausted. We conversed and he thanked me for my prompt actions that he said saved the lives of both him and his driver. He told me that the vehicle was hit with gunfire and his instincts and experience lead to he and his driver exiting the vehicle and lying in a ditch. I don't remember the exact month or day, but I was required to keep a log of all events during my shift. I worked in a Top-Secret Area. Captain McKrystal was the Operations Officer and SFC Beasley was the Senior Operations NCO during the time of this incident. Due to the severity of the incident, I'm sure it must have also been reported to COMSEC in Yongsan. I received an Army Commendation Medal for my service working in the T.O.C. I have always wondered why I didn't receive the Medal of Honor for my actions that possibility saved the lives of two fellow soldiers. I don't know Colonel Sayles first name or remember who his driver was. I hope they both are alive today and can verify this incident. If anyone who reads this know of this incident or can get in touch with Colonel Sayles or his driver, please help me in my request to receive honor I believe I deserve before my time expires on this earth.

By the way, am I the only one that noticed that PAK, the KPA officer that triggered the Axe Murder incident in '76 was the same asshole we had to deal with during '74-5 and that he was a Captain, not a Senior Lt as the news labelled him. Also, anyone remember when we tried to trim that same tree in '74 and PAK showed up with his associates and said You cut that tree and you will be dead before it hits the ground We said Fk it, got back in the vehicles and left.

Remember when one the soldiers accidently shot his .45 cal as he was going through the main checkpoint, (only if you served would you know what was going on at 11:30 PM to 1:00 AM) and picking up the stuff from that was kept in the basement. The KATUSA at JSA were tough SOB. JSA was great. Went across the street to Camp Liberty Bell for a second tour. We had a fire in one of the DMZ guardpost and I was working TOC at time and had to call fire department. KATUSA had tried to increase the drip heater, and created fire. Just the time I was notifying patrols, one patrol sent up flares, as live rounds were going off. Just went back for a visit. Nothing like it use to be. Now a big tourist attraction. Bridge of No Return is all grown over and no check point next to it. All different.

Comments: 2015 CHICAGO JSA REUNION SPEAKER
I am pleased to announce that Major General Bert Mizusawa has accepted an invitation to be the banquet dinner speaker for our Fifth JSA/Panmunjom Veterans Reunion to be held next year in Chicago, Illinois. Reunion attendees will hear General Mizusawa's first-hand account of the events of the November 23, 1984 Soviet defector and firefight incident at Panmunjom.
In 1984, then Captain Mizusawa was the JSA unit's Joint Security Force (JSF) commander, and he led JSA soldiers in the Soviet defector incident, which resulted in a firefight between JSA and North Korean soldiers within the truce site of Panmunjom that resulted in causalities on both sides. This serious breech of the 1953 military armistice agreement by North Korea guards took the Korea DMZ to the brink of resuming the Korean War, but was under reported by the national and international media. It would be years later before the US Army awarded Mizusawa and other JSA soldiers with the Silver Star medal and Combat Infantryman's Badge (CIB) for their heroism in this incident.
Mizusawa is a major general in the US Army Reserves, and currently deployed to Afghanistan. He is a 1978 graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point where he ranked first in his class. In 1989 Mizusawa graduated from Harvard Law School, and later worked in a Wall Street law firm. In 2010 he was a candidate for a Virginia congressional district election.
RECAP OF REUNION INFORMATION
Dates: Friday and Saturday, April 24 & 25, 2015
Location: Hilton Garden Inn O'Hare Airport, 2930 S. River Road, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018
Reunion room rate: $113 per night (plus 13% tax), which includes breakfast for up to four persons per room.
This two-day reunion will again follow the format of the very successful 2007 Las Vegas and 2011 Orlando reunions. It will take place in the hotel's meeting room with a variety of photo and movie shows about the events of the Joint Security Area (JSA) unit and Panmunjom. Learn about the five American US Army soldiers who defected across the demilitarized zone to North Korea, watch a program about the 1969 North Korean hi-jacking of a South Korean airliner and the 1970 Operation Runway release of some passengers and crew members - but not all, at Panmunjom. View veterans' home movies of life on the JSA Advance Camp/Camp Kitty Hawk/ Camp Bonifas, a Military Armistice Commission meeting, the Korea DMZ and a nearby village often frequented by American soldiers. See a video of the 2011 JSA/Panmunjom Veterans Reunion in Orlando, Florida. There also will be time set aside for discussion about the Korean Defense Service Medal (KDSM), veterans exposure to Agent Orange in Korea, including the United Nations Command Security Battalion - Joint Security Area unit, and veterans service officers to answer Veterans Administration questions. There will be raffle gift drawings, a trivia contest and much more.
Display tables will be available for those attendees who wish to display any personal memorabilia. And, of course, there will be plenty of time set aside for socializing, including a Thursday and Friday evenings hospitality room to renew old friendships, meet other JSA veterans, and swap the many great Korea war stories that we all have. If you enjoyed the Las Vegas and/or Orlando reunions, you will enjoy this Chicago reunion.

Comments: After all the years I have been out of the service I ran across this excellent site. My 17 1/2 months at the JSA were memorable. Some good - some not so good. My short time duty was driving the guard truck that was ambushed Easter Sunday '68. I know we all felt some sort of immunity because of our direct connection to the MAC. That all ended with the ambush. The BROTHERS that were killed were friends, all of us from the 3rd MP section. What BOTHERS me MOST is the LACK of RECOGNITION for these men who GAVE ALL!!! Books have been written about the officers killed in the axe murders. Even the main camp name was changed to honor one of the officers. I read about a South Korean MP killed in a shoot out in the Neutral Zone. A memorial was put in place for him. A memorial was put in place for the BROTHERS that were ambushed, but it seems it is bypassed and given very little recognition. The officers killed in the axe murders and the Korean MP killed in the Neutral Zone saw their attackers. The four brothers-SGT James L. Anderson, SP4 Larry M. Wood,
CPL Lee Son Kyon and PFC Kim Ik Hong NEVER saw their attackers as they were AMBUSHED in the DARK. Would appreciate a photo of their memorial if any one has one.

Comments: Was unit Armorer @ JSA compound from April 82 until May 83, with
Specialist Burton (?) and Lt Williams (?) I think (memory is bad
about those times). Anyway I remember that PFC White went North
and we got locked down, Senator Paula Hawkins of Florida came to
visit and 6 of us got to eat with her and had are picture taken
as a group with her. I recently found a copy of that picture
that had been sent to my parents and I didn't even know that
they had gotten it. Any one out there remember that and were one
of us 6 I would love to here from you......Doug

Comments: Equality with respect to Veteran dioxin exposure presumption
for all Veterans
Hi,
Currently only veterans of the Vietnam Conflict are afforded
this in a limited presumption, Boots on GroundĀ legislation, if
they were in the Republic of Vietnam (Served in the Republic of
Vietnam between 1/9/62 and 5/7/75) per the Department of
Veterans Affairs. In fact any current end date for any location
would be invalid as Dioxins stay active for much longer than
the time since the 1962 admitted RVN Agent Orange / Dioxin
start date, current end date is the end date for RVN service,
per the DVA. I was in an exposed unit, one of many and in many
countries, not recognized by the DVA.
That's why I created a petition to The United States House of
Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack
Obama.
We the undersigned petition the US Senate, US Congress and the
President of the United States to enact legislation that makes
ALL veterans have equal presumption of exposure to Dioxins
while in the service of the United States at any location or
unit. We feel that ALL veterans MUST be treated equally with
respect to Dioxin exposure by the US government and Department
of Veterans Affairs.
NOTE: Veterans must also still prove they have a recognized
condition, that maybe caused by Dioxin exposure, during or
after service to get DVA benefits.
Any one 18 can sign.
If effected vet make sure you add your statement in comment
area too!
