My name is Bill Lisec and I was with the 40th California National Guard
Division, in the 140th Anti Aircraft Battalion. We were called up in 1951
and sent to Camp Cook for receipt of draftees and training. Early the next
year we shipped to Japan for more training and then we replaced the 24th
Division in Korea. Because we were a national guard unit from San Diego, a
group of us had been together for a couple of years before we were called
up. I have lost touch with all of them. I just happened to run accross you
while perusig the Kaiser Permanente web site.

Hello:
My name is Ron Logan, and I am writing in search of information on my
father during the Korean War. I am uncertain of the exact dates of his
active duty, his military career spanned from 1939 to the 1970's. He was
Army National Guard, U.S. Army, U.S. Marines (1947-1949), and Army
reserves during his career.
He retired a colonel in the 70's. He Died on July 14, 1998 and was
interred at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetary.
I am trying to find anybody who may have known him during the Korean War
or any information as to what the 140th AAA AW (SP) did during the war
years.
I am slowly learning more of his history from searching through old
military papers, and looking at black & white photos from Honshu,
Katakai, Kumwha etc. If you can offer any information on contacting any
surviving member of the 140th AAA AW (SP), it would be most helpful and
appreciated.
I do know that he was definitely in Korea on the following dates:
January 22 to April 30, 1952, since he was awarded the Bronze Start for
service during that time period.
