Comments: I would like to thank all the brave men served in Korea and gave their all. This was not a "Police Action". This was an all out "War". Those of us who have served after you and seen combat know the difference. I was a young lad when many of you still teenagers went to war. You have never been given credit for what you suffered through. I as an old soldier, salute you for your dedication, your toughness, your will to servive and for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
God Bless you all.
Respectfully Your,

Comments: I am looking more anyone who may have served as a POW with my cousin Wayne (Slim) Caddell in Camp 3. I do not know much about how he was captured or what branch of military he was in. Wayne (Slim) Caddell wrote a song while he was a POW called The Prisoner of War Song. He would sing it in Camp and eventually it spread through out the different camps and was favored by the American POW's. Wayne recored and produced this song in 1984 in Nashville TN. At the time and I think still is the only POW song that has been recorded and produced. I am working on my family genealogy and would appreciate any information on Wayne Caddell that someone may have, stories, military information, how and when he was captured etc.
Thank you in advance.
