Comments: My dad served on the USS Prairie. He was very proud of that. He did go to one of the reunions held here in San Diego. But one of the best memories that I will always remember was seeing that beautiful ship out on the San Diego bay everytime we were on old 101 and the gleam I'd see in my Dad's eyes. I was born while he was in Japan and that's the ship he walked off the first time he saw me. Thanks for the memories. God Bless.

Comments: I served on the USS Prairie AD15 from April of 1953 until April 1955. I was a storekeeper (SK2) there. During my time on the ship, President and Mrs. Sigmund Rhee same aboard ship to thank the captain and crew for assistance to the ROK naval vessels engaged in firing against communist shore batteries. The Prairie was given the Korean Presidential Unit Citation and the shipboard members received the UN defense service medal.
I would like to get in touch with other ship's crew members. Are there any reunions going on anywhere? Contact me at home or through the Korean War Museum in Tuscola, Illinois.
