Comments: My uncle, Frank Mancuso, served in the Korean War with the Marines. I'm not sure of the time frame and I don't know which unit he was with. He was from the Bronx, NY. I was only 7 or 8 years old when he left for war and I remember him as always smiling and happy. When he came home, he hardly ever smiled, moved off to Florida, and we did not hear much from him over the years. He died in a VA hospital in Alabama several years ago, so far from home. If anyone remembers him, please contact me. By the way, you Korean War Veterans have NEVER been forgotten by me.

Comments: I am the daughter of Sgt. James R. Whitaker and would like to know something about my father and his part in the Korean War. All I know is he served in the Marine Corp from 1951 and was injured while jumping into a fox hole and was seriously injured. He had to have one leg amputated and was blinded from the explosion. He was sent to Oxnard, Ca after being wounded for medical treatment. Originally he was from Louisville, Ky and met my mother in 1951, Goshen, In. When he was injured and sent to Oxnard hospital, I was about 1 yr. old, so his injuries happened around late 1952, or early 1953. Anyone knowing him or was there, it would be good hearing any info they may have on him. Thanks to all military personnel who have fought and died to keep our country safe and free.
