It has been such a long time ago that I do not remember too much about the camp site except the smell the from the outside toilets and the tents and all of the mud when getting out of bed in the mornings. I worked in the bomb dump from 7 PM to 3 AM. At the time I was an A1c and do not remember any of the men that I worked with. I retired form the Air Force in 1977 as Msgt. I am now 87 years old and would like anyone still around, who was with the 543rd during Jan 1953 to Apr. 1954, to give me a shout out.

Service or Relationship: Air Force Veteran - Korea
Comments: I see two or three people called me Lt Patterson but my name was, and still is Patton. I was in charge of the bomb Dump from July of 54 to July of 55. Bill Silkwood and Kirkpatrick were two of the greatest guys I worked with. I encouraged Kirk to go on to college when he got out and he wrote me a nice note when he graduated.

Comments:
It was I who placed who entry on this website requesting that those members of the 543rd
who remember Major Vanderhoven visit the pages that honors him and his former command.
Major Leo H. Vanderhoven took command of the 543rd on 23 June 1952. He replaced Major Charles W. Slaughter.
It was my privilege to serve under Major Vanderhoven until I rotated back to the States on 5 April 1953.

Comments: I think that somebody has missed something somewhere.When the 543rd was put together at San Bernerdino Calif. Major Harris was the one who put the outfit together. after we got to Korea sometime in September,we worked our tails off, sometimes for eighteen hours a day and when our time for rotation came, Major Harris volunteered his men for a second round of duty there. This goat him a Lt. Col. raating and then he left us there with our new comander, by the name of Major Slaughter, who was still in command when i left in Feb. of 1952. That is what I know for sure.
