Comments: My name is Tom bisping and I am the MidStates North Regional Director for the Korean Defense Veterans Alliance. Please be advised that bills have been submitted to the United States House of Representatives and to the United States Senate, for the creation of a service medal for service in Korea after 27 July 1954. In the House the Bill is H.R. 1935. In the Senate the Bill is S.999. The Bill is entitled the Korean Defense Service Medal Act. PLEASE do the following: Go to the KDVA website: http://home.att.net/~kdrrc/index.htm Click on the "Legislation" button. See if your Representative or Senators are cosponsors. If they aren't call them and asked them to cosponsor either H.R. 1935 or S.999. Get as many people as you can to do the same. Click on the "Organization" button. Find out what region your state is in and e-mail that Regional Director. This is the best opportunity there has ever been for recognition. Join the fight and be with us as we, "Take The Hill!!!"

The professionalism displayed by the soldiers was the best in the army. When we worked, we worked hard and under a lot of pressure; when we partied we really "PARTIED". I'll never forget forget living in those open bay quansit huts with the diesel space heaters...Burrrrrrrr! Also remember the third platoon's dogs....Shorty and Alice.

Soldier receives honor years after mission
By Staff Sgt. Kanessa Mynett-Allen
The U.S. Army prides itself on recognizing and honoring Soldiers who distinguish themselves through actions above and beyond the call of duty.
For one 25th Infantry Division (Light) Soldier, that honor arrived Monday, 16 years after an event he said changed his entire perspective on the United States military.
Staff Sgt. Gary Ross, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 25th ID (L), division deployment training center noncommissioned officer-in-charge, was awarded the Bronze Star with V device and the Combat Infantryman's Badge for a combat action he took part in as a private while stationed in Korea more than a decade and a half ago.
Lt. Col. Sam Holloway, division supply officer and Ross' supervisor, said this honor means closure for Ross.
"It's final recognition for an outstanding performance of duty a long time ago. This was a long time coming, and it's a well deserved honor," Holloway said.
Ross was awarded the Bronze Star for "exceptional valor as a rifleman assigned to the Joint Security Force Company, United Nations Command Security Force at Panmunjom, Korea Nov. 23, 1984."
Ross and his unit took part in a firefight with thirty North Korean Soldiers in pursuit of a Soviet defector, ensuring border security and the safety of the defector and others in the UN command sector of the Joint Security Area.
Brig. Gen. Carl Eikenberry, 25th ID (L) Assistant Division Commander (Support), presented the awards. Eikenberry was a major assigned as Ross' deputy commander at the time the firefight for which he was recognized ensued.
Eikenberry explained to the guests the circumstances surrounding the long wait for Ross' overdue award and how the company commander, who now works for the Secretary of the Army, had to launch a campaign "to recognize this Soldier who performed heroically that day."
Eikenberry said it was important to remember that it's not what a Soldier wears on their chest that is important, but that it's what's inside their head and heart that matter and make a difference. He noted that Ross has been taking difficult assignments throughout his entire career and not having had these prestigious awards until now has not changed the high quality of Soldier he is.
Ross said being recognized for a combat action that took place so long ago came as a surprise and it's a huge honor for him to receive these awards.
"I was not expecting it. It makes you feel really good that someone thought enough about it to keep on this after all these years," Ross said.
"I continuously think of what happened over there because people died, but I never thought about it as an award due."
Ross, who initially joined the Army to earn enough money for his college education, said that that one day in Korea, just six months after he enlisted, changed his outlook on the military's mission altogether. "If this did not happen I would not have made a career out of it. I take pride in the Army and it shows a great deal of honor that I received this now. With or without it, I am proud."

Comments: Hello "Brothers",
Kudos on the website. Hands reaching out across the globe.
I served at Camp Bonifas, not Greaves or Casey, but at JSA. I take pride in my tour 1995-1996. We had LT COL Randy Gardner as our Battalion Commander. I was assigned to the S3 Operations as a 71LF5. I had numerous opportunities to go out on night time patrol with the Scouts. I seen all the terrain covering the whole sector. I was even fortunate enough to re-enlist in the DMZ, also to complete my PLDC course and most of all, meet Bruce Willis and the whole Planet Hollywood (USO tour) crew (ie. Arnold, Brooke, Don Johnson,...
All in all, I loved it. Face it. From the proganda radio from the north blasting all the time. The 24 alert drills. Weapons qualifications. And oh yes....."SoJu Hill"... Do you guys remember running up and down that hill off of MSR 1 in the a.m.? I came back to the states running 12minute 2miles on the PT test.
I had a problem with our evac site if the N. Koreans crossed over. Our secondary off camp bunkers was really a problem with me. Somehow I knew if it got to that point, we might have to take in some serious considerations. I love seeing the underground tunnels reaching from N.Korea to S.Korea.
I was the BN XO driver as well, so I was constantly here and there. Night vision goggles on patrol or strapped up with 9M on site at Pan Mun Jom in the daytime. Fortunately, I didn't have to do the bus tours. I was mainly, heavily involved being in Operations, but behind the scenes.
The one memory that truly sticks out would be the border crossing for downed helicopter pilot, CW2 Bobby Hall. I was actually on his escort detail from the DMZ "line" to the LZ at Camp Bonifas.
The look of relief on his face, is one I will never forget.
Take care "brothers"....

Comments: I was stationed in ujonbu as a Platoon Sgt with the 2d Plt, Co C, 11th Engr Bn (C). Our company was detailed to built, repair and maintain the ready access roads from various camps to the DMZ outposts. We built culverts, widen roads and straightened out the curves.
My Platoon was first troops to man outposts on the mountain access to I Corps HQ at Camp Red Cloud when the North Korean infiltraters attempted the assasination on S Korea Pres Pak Song Rea.
I was reassigned to the 663rd Engr Co (LE) and assigned to the Joint Security Area to Supervise the Operation on the Rock Quarry and Rock Crusher equipment, with a detachment of 30 equipment operators. Our mission was to Quarry and crush enough rock to lay a basecourse from JSA to Panmunjom so that asphalt could be applied. The reason was to reduce the dust made by UN vehicles which was used by the N Koreans as a smoke screen for their ambushes.
Korea 1950 - 51 First overseas tour.
Korea 1967 - 68 Last overseas tour.
I'm retired with 21 years service now living in Florida. I served overseas tours in Thailand building roads and in Germany building missile sites.

Comments: I arrived at JSA in 1990 (during Desert Storm) and 13 months later left in 1991. Those 13 months were another life ago, but my memories of such a unique experience stay with me today.
Looking back now, Duckworth was right...the JSA experience was, as he put it, "cool". Of course, at that time, I didn't think so.
If any of you ex-JSA'ers (before or after my time, especially before) wish to contact me, I would welcome your contact.

Comments: Yours is a very important website. It was very good to find it, having seen the link at the JSA website. I found one of my 2nd Platoon buddies from the Tree Incident, William Ferguson, in your "Looking For" section, "DMZ Vets 1970-1980."
