Comments: My Uncle, Richard Lusby, was in DOG group in artillery recon at Chosin Reservoir.
He was at Bunker Hill, Bloody Ridge, and the Hook. Two of the 4 guys he led were Tommy Catuno and Ray Reynolds. His immediate commander was a Lt Phillips.
Would love to hear from anyone who knew and served with him.
He recently suffered a stroke and cannot recall much of his Marine Corp time in Korea anymore, but it was one of the most important times of his life.

Comments: I am searching for any information about my Grandfather, Joseph Kiselica, who served in Korea at the Chosin reservoir. He was a forward observer and was with the 11th marines in Dog company. He told me that his commanding officer was Joe Fisher. My Grandfather passed away in 2001. If anyone has any information about him please e-mail me.
Thanks to all the veterans who served in Korea.
