Comments: My fathers active duty was in the early 1950's. He came home in 1955. He left Japan on April 1st (His Birthday)went through Formosa and Okinawa then back to San Fran. He caught a ride with a few fellows to Los Angles then caught a bus back to PHX, Arizona. He then caught another bus to Winslow then caught a ride with the mail man back to the Navajo Rez.to Teesto. From there he waked about 10 miles to his mothers house up on the mountain. Big suprise for everyone in the family that day. My father later reinlisted in the Army agin a few years later due to the lack of jobs. He was later discharged in 1959. He lost a toe to frostbite in Germany. He was a guard at a prison for one of Hitlers men, I do not remember his name. When my father was discharged it was because of T.B. in the leg, the non infectious kind. If you remember my father please contact us, or if you have any memories to share. A Daughter of an Army Vet. Thank you and Have a Great Life.

Comments: My husband and I,the then Airman 1st class Donald M.Patterson sailed 50yrs ago from Portsmouth, England on the Darby April 1st to New York. If there is anyone who remembers this trip I am looking for more details of Port of entry, could have been Brooklyn or Manhatten Beach, Don's trunk has Manhatten Beach stamped on it. Also, anyone with memories to share of this trip. I remember one young woman who shared the cabin was pregnant at that time, we were all sea sick, but she was more so. I traded bunks with her so she would be more comfortable on the bottom one. Seemed like we were very close to the engine room, very loud, difficult to sleep. We were an extra day on the ship because of a very bad storm and the ship turned around to help another ship in distress, another ship was able to give rescue help so we went on our way. During the storm at meal time everything went flying off the table and our waiter hit against the side of the ship breaking his arm, not very pleasant. When the men were able to be with their wives we played card games of 'Crazy 8' and 'Hearts', these were new games to me. I am writing out my voyage to the USA for my children and grandchildren, so any information would be appreciated. Thank you, Margaret

Comments: I was a Sea Scout from Seattle, Washington in the summer of 1963 when I, and about 30 others, cruised aboard the USS Gen. William Mitchell, TAP-114. We were part of a well established special cruise program for Sea Scouts and Sea Cadets and we received training, OJT and stood watches with the Navy crew. I was told at the time that the Mitchell was one of the few MSTS transports with a Navy, as opposed to merchant, crew. One of the Mitchell's primary tasks was transporting troops from the 1st Cavalry Division to and from Korea. At that time we were told there was still combat patrol action on the DMZ. It was particularly memorable when we anchored in the harbor at Inchon and were trasported into shore by LSMs. We were met by fellow Korean land scouts, the mayor of the town and there was a mini-parade for us including transport to the MacArthur monument. Our arrival was special because of the 10 year anniversary of the armistice. Us lowly Sea Scouts were treated like kings. Perhaps some of you folks out there remember the groups of "kids" on board, living in one of the crews quarters.

Comments: In 1951 I crossed the Pacific with my family to Okinawa and returned in 1953 to the US. I'd be interested in stories of memories of the crossings, such as the shipboard party when we crossed the International Date Line.

Comments: My Dad, 1Lt. Kenneth C. Rodgers went to Korea in July 1951 aboard the Gen M.C. Meigs. His nickname was "Teck". Am looking for anyone who may have known him. He ended up with the 25th ID and then the 8th Field Artillery I believe

Comments: In May 1965 I was one of 4,500 US troops who boarded the USS William Mitchell bound for South Korea.
7th Inf. Div, 13th Engr.Bn, Camp Casey (Tongduchon)
There were two other ships also heading for South Korea with us. I believe they were the USS Gordon and USS Walker. We were some of the last major troop movements by the DOD to go by sea. 12,500 of us landed about the same time. One of the other ships had a propeller shaft problem in mid pacific ?? Which one was it ??
The USS Mitchell went back to Hawaii and hauled the 3rd Brigade of the 25th Inf. Div. to Vietnam.
What happened to the USS Mitchell ?? Was she Scrapped ?
