Only 41 years old and no close relatives were involved in the Korean War, but sent your site to my brother-in-law. His father was a marine and is a member of some organization called, I think, The Chosin Ones. He was a survivor of the battle of the Chosin Reservoir. His name is Dick Epperly.

Comments: I am interested in finding any information about my father, Robert Glenn Christopherson. I don't have much info other than that he was a Marine, who drove a tank. He was wounded in 1951 when a mortar hit his tank and was carried to safety by a man in his unit. He later had his right leg amputated below the knee, as a result of that wound, before returning home. He died in 1976. I would be grateful to hear from anyone who knew him, with any memories. He had a troubled life after the war, and left home when I was young. I would like to know him better.

Comments: My Grandfather, Eugene Ortenzi, was
in this"Forgoten War". He served as
a very dedicated Marine, andwould die for
his country. In fact he almost bled to death
from a severe wound. He has many medals.
He doesn't talk at all about the time he served and understandably so. Many many many people
don't realize there were more Americans that died
in the Korean war than the overall death count in
the Vietnam War. It is very sad how this war
can be so freely forgotten. I'm 16 and looking to
go into a military branch following my graduation
from highschool. My uncle, Bradly Ortenzi, served
as a Marine in the Desert Storm/Desert Shield war.
I just would like respect given to all those
Americans who served and also for all those
Americans who died in this war for their country.
Sincerly,
Christopher A. Ortenzi

Pork Chop Hill, The Chosen Reservoir, The 39th Parallel, West and South Africa. My oldest brother is also a former Marine. And my husband is a former Marine, although neither my husband nor my brother were in during war time. My brother did become a disabled vet. while in service. My endless thanks for this memorial and website. I only wish it could have been during my father's lifetime.
