Comments: Hi:
I am helping my cousin Albert Metayer locate a Ralph Grogran who served with him during the Korean War.
I don't have a lot of information.
They both served with the 1st Marine Division, 1st Marine Regiment.
If you have any information on where I can locate Ralph Grogan, it would be appreciated.

Comments: my father was on a supply ship coming into inchon bay.he told of the island of wolmi do.after his passing in 1990,i found a picture of a smoldering rock.on the back "wolmi do communist stronghold mar.51.john burnett{1stmarines},said that every airdrop during there attack in reverse was lost to the chinese except for one. when they opened the crate,it was full of condoms!the CO got on the horn and said "i dont know what you think we're doing to them up here,that last drop was full of condoms".at base camp,a figure in the dark failed to i.d. itself. pfc. burnett fired 5 rounds, center mass,waking everyone in camp.after the area was secured,he had to explain just why he shot up the colonels long underwear that were hanging up to dry.its been a skeleton that haunts him to this day.this is my way of saying thank you to all of you,for your sacrifice.sometimes people forget to say that,taking for granted what they have,and glorifying actors in hollywood instead of the real heros we walk with everyday.to all of you, i say, BRAVO!,and god bless you.
