I have reorganized heavy mortar co., 224th reg, 40th div and we
now meet yearly in las vegas. My roster includes about 90 names
of mortarmen. I know another former member of the 40th div.
who has accumulated over 900 names of men from the 224th
and organized its first reunin last year in Ontario, CA.
I'm still looking for other former comrades from mortar company.
Heavy Mortar Company will have its ninth reunion at the Gold Coast
Casino, Las Vegas, always in the first week in October and always
in Vegas. It will be a three day affair this year.

him today.I dont know if he sleeps now, but it is still difficult
on him....The Forgotten War...
My dad was in the 40th division, 224 infantry, 1st bn.He would like
to know what happened to jerry shields, andrews from rodchester,
new york, and a guy named kuehbluer. He remembers a lot of first
names.He has had a difficult time and maybe some healing could be
done if he were to interact with some of his old buddies
I have done many phone searches.Looking for

Looking for info on my uncle who served in Korea (porkchop hill); 2

assignment as: Sv Co 224 Inf. I have included other info.
Discharge Certificate States:
PFC Don K. Riota, ER 55 132 828, INF-USAR, Ready Reserve, who was
inducted 20 March 1951 and transferred to the Army Ready Reserve 10
March 1953 was honorably discharged.......on the 10th day of December
1956.
Have to say this. I began this search looking for info on my uncle.
Learned that my friend (married Apr 1951) lost her husband on porkchop
hill in Sep 1951. The letters from other veterans & their families,
the searches for MIAs & POWs that go on & on--the effort, organization
& attention that all contribute to this resource--remind me that each of
the veterans have given something back to life. I pray that answers are
found and that healing begins.

his house because of my mother's illness.
Because of the efforts of many, he has been able to make contact with
some of his old buddies. However, I would love to hear from any of them
and relay messages on to my father.
Everyone knew him as "Big Nick" (Cleo Nichols). He's got some great
stories. Above and beyond all that, I am very proud of him and all of
our service men and women who gave so much from their life and their
