Comments: God bless all our veterans today. We appreciate your service to this great country.
I've recently started to research the Korean War, my dad (Joseph J. Minuni) served with the First Marine Division, Reinforced and fought at Chosin Reservoir (Nov to Dec 1950) , and Koto-ri area of Korea. He served between Feb. 1948 and Feb 1952.
He died 10 years later when I was 3 - if anyone has any information or knew him, I'd love to hear from you.

Is ther anyone out there who knew or remembers my dad. Unfortunately he has told me that his officers and assitant spotter were all killed during the battle. Dad was good friends with Lt. Dorsey Booker who was killed during the Chosin fight. My thanks are to all of the Marines who fought there....Gene Hamilton.

Comments: My "Uncle Kenny", Kenneth Freer served in the Marine Corps. Infantry in Korea. He is a private person and doesn't talk very much about the war. All he has really told me is that he and a buddy were wounded when two grenades were thrown at them and they could only grab one of them to throw back. He has also said that he loved the sound of P-51s flying overhead, "that's a nice sound". My uncle Kenny is a wonderful man, he is soft spoken and always very kind, He is the nicest man that I have ever known. We learned that he is dying of cancer about 3 weeks ago (July 2004). The reason I am posting this is so anyone who may have known Kenny that might want to see him while he is still with us can contact me via email. Kenny has made arrangments to be buried at Fort Snelling National Cemetary in Minneapolis, Minnesota. If you knew my uncle, or have any kind words for him please email me at mike@tpclandscape.com Thank You.

Comments: My father, Peter Richman (DOB 5-30-38), was in the Marines and stationed in Okinawa sometime between 1956 and 1959 (he was shipped out of Fort Pendleton, CA). He saw combat during this period but I am unclear about whether or not his mission was an "official" deployment. I would like to determine his specific unit, etc. and to contact anyone who served with him.
My father's military training appears to be associated with the 1st Force Reconnaissance Company as it was reconfigured after 1954. He was trained in scuba diving (not to mention the five ways to kill someone in hand-to-hand combat)and later did some kind of work with communications decoding. He could have been part of an early 1st Force Recon Company that was deployed to Camp Hauge, Okinawa in 1956, or part of a later 1st Recon that was deployed to Camp Schwab, Okinawa (this later Company was assigned to Force Troops, Fleet Marine Force Pacific, which supported the 1st and 3rd Marine Divisions). But there was also the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalian -- in Okinawa -- that was assigned to the 3rd Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force. Too much military lingo for me....
