Comments: My father, Earl J. Garrison, died 04-28-2001, about six weeks after a serious stroke. For 5 years he was also battling chronic emphesyma/COPD, which took him down slowly. He was a three war veteran (WWII, Korean, and Vietnam). He started out his service career as a Pharmisist First Class back when dog tags were round, but otherwise, was a Corpsman in all of them. He had curly, blondish/brown hair, a significant nose, blue eyes, a fine singing voice, and smiled a lot. But he never backed down from a fight.
My dad was in Korea in the 50's. I have slides of pictures he took while in Korea. A couple that stood out were of a boy whose stomach was disdended from starvation and another of the camp's pet dog mascot named "Pistol" (more for his 'relief of duty' than for any aggression).
My father addressed all of his duties with deliberate intentions to finish them, wether it was in war or at home. He kept the horrors of war to himself until the last two years of his life when I was caring for him. Only then would he confide what he went through. I think it was because he felt I had earned the right and priviledge to know, having proved myself able to hold up under the stresses he saw me go through, but refusing to give up.
I'm his oldest, his daughter, and very proud of him. I did not allow him to be in a nursing home where he didn't want to be and didn't belong. I lost my husband (He told me I had to choose between my dad or him when my dad was no longer able to care for himself) and my job (They kept pressuring me to 'warehouse' him in some nursing home under threat of my loosing my job. After 18 years with EIX/SCE, I was terminated after my fathers' death on trumped up charges. I'm fighting this now). I have no regrets. Just as he would have been there for me I was there for him. But even more so, God commands 'Honor thy father and mother.' The only commandment that come with a promise. My dad never gave up - and neither will I.

I can't remember the ships we contacted. Events and times are lost to me but I do remember calling to certain ships and asking them for support. They would communicate with the forward observers for their fire mission and then we would call in damage reports. Is there anyone out there that remembers working with any of these missions? This was towards the end of my tour of duty and about the only thing I could think of was going home. The time I served with Naval Gunfire was September through November.

His grave went many years without the proper Korean War KIA marker. I think his parents, my grandparents, had a very difficult time after his death. We, his nieces and nephews, contacted the American Legion around 1976 and they got him the standard bronze marker for his grave. My father, his brother, said that Jack was a Navy Corpsman and was washed overboard but his body was recovered. This is about all the I know about Jack as my father is also rather closed mouthed about him. I would appreciate any other information about Jack Blackmer.

He graduated from Bunnell High School and later, from University of Connecticut at Storrs. My father was a radio man aboard a ship but I don't know what the ship's name was. My father passed away at Age 57 in 1983 from a terminal illness. I wish I had more information about his time in the Navy. He never spoke about it very much, which I understand is normal for men.
