One brother was in the Marines, the 2nd Floating Bridge Company, Fleet Marine Force, Platoon 703. In our interviews, Frank Loin says he does not know what happened to the 1st company, except that it was wiped out. It would be interesting to Frank's story to include what happened to the company before him. I must admit that I am quite curious.

I always knew he fought in Korea and had gotten frost bite & that his time there was was horrific so he never spoke of it much. I believe he was 1st Marine 2nd battalion , 5th division. I am so proud of him and all who fought & am looking for anybody who may have known him at this time. I have always been proud to be an American and wanted to pursue ROTC while in college but my parents were extremely against it. It was only after his death that I was told that it was because of his experience at the Chosin Reservoir that he vowed none of his children (6) would go into the military. His last days were spent in hospice & the nurse described images to my bro & I of images he was seeing & we could tell he was describing being surrounded in the war again. It pains me he had to relive that horror. So please, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I also believe my uncle, Karl Muellauer served in same area.

understand what a great guy and I am glad I got a
chance to tell him I was sorry for the years I held him
in such low regard. He died tragically in an
accidental fall some years ago. I knew he had served
in the Korean War but as long as I knew him he never
ever mentioned his service much as my father never
talked much about his service in the AAF during WWII.
After my stepfather died, I went through his personal
effects and found something of his service record. He
served with the First Marine Division in some
intelligence function. He landed in Korea at Wosan and
was at Chosin Reservoir. He had attained the rank of

Comments: I was born C-Section on Feb 5, 1951. My Dad Ray), a WWII vet was serving in Korea. He was granted emergency leave to be present at my birth.
Doctors did not expect my Mom and me to both survive. They wanted my Dad near in the event they could only save one, He would have to choose; His wife or his son.
As it turned out we both survived.
I learned later that my Dad's unit was later destroyed. He lived a life of guilt believing he should have been there and died with his men.
I was told growing up that I saved my Dad's life by being a problem pregnancy.
I think he hated me for that. I am glad I was not an orphan. He served nearly 16 years in
the Corps. Like many vets, he wouldn't talk about it.

Comments: I recently found a cache of information about my father's (Ray
"Mac"Mccarty)service in the marines . Like many vets he never talked much
about his time in the service. He was a shy Georgia farm boy who lied
about his age to enlist because he said that the Marine corps recruiting
poster was "the most beautiful thing I had ever seen." He loved the Corps
and I would love to know if there is anyone out there who might still
remember him. He retired from Camp Pen in the 1950's after earning a
Bronze Star w/ combat 'V' and a Presidential Unit Citation, and a Purple
Heart in Okinawa .
thank you
