Comments: I was talking to my high school age son (17) last night who is studying the Korean War. I told him about his Grandfather who was assigned to Fox Company, 2nd Bn, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division. He was a Navy Corpsman. Don Wymer was my father. I would be sincerely interested if any other fellow Marines remember him. He was 19 years old at the time of the Chosin Reservoir battle. He sadly past away in November 2001.
I am also a veteran having served in the US Army Corps of Engineers and retired as a Major in the US Army Reserve.
Thank you for your time and service to our country.
God Bless,

Comments: I've posted previously. I just saw Hal on History
Detectives, today.
Prompted me to check for WIA records of my father
William T. Farrar, Jr.
I have copies of his service record which I obtained
from SecNav. Dad was a member of Alpha Company, 2nd
Battalion, 7th Marines. He fought at Pusan, Wonsan,
Inchon, Chosin and was wounded three times. The last
time quite seriously at Hwanchon (spelling)
Dam/Reservoir with a 61mm mortar landed between his
legs as he dove for cover, serious wounds to leg and
scrotum,they picked shrapnel out of his legs for the
next 11 years,he died May 1962 on the operating table
at Camp Pendleton.
What concerns me is that his name does not show up on
the Korean War Project's list of WIA's, although he was
awarded three purple hearts (first two were minor
including one in the hand), his personnel records do
show the three purple hearts.
He was also the adjutant (W.O.) of the 1st Joint
Assault Signal Company 4th FMF, when it assaulted Roi
Namur, Saipan and Tinian.
After Roi Namur the 4th FMF was rolled into the newly
formed 5th Amphib
