PFC Frank J. DiPino
Ted, I would like find someone who may have served or known my uncle in Japan or Korea. He was MIA in the town of Kochang on July 29, 1950 and never heard from again. His name was PFC Frank J. DiPino, RA 11 165 706, originally from New Haven and East Haven, CT. He was 23 years old, serving with the 24th Infantry Div, 34th Infantry Regiment, Company I, 3rd Battalion. He joined the U.S. Army on Aug. 3, 1948, was stationed in Sasebo, Japan and sent to Korea in early July 1950. Officallly reported MIA at 6:00 AM July 29,1950 at Kochang. The following is a goverment report of that morning: On the morning of the 29th of July 1950, the enemy launched a large scale attack on the 3rd Bn, 34th Inf Regt and the 1st Bn, 34th Inf Regt. During the attack, the 3rd Bn was located in and to the west of the town of Kochang. Their Bn CP was located in the south-west part to Kochang. The 1st Bn was located to the east of Kochang. This attack forced the 34th Inf Regt to withdraw south-east on the Kochang-Peaksang-dong road. The 1st Bn setup a defensive position as a delaying action approx 1 mile west of the town of Kwonbin-ni. A fire fight ensued here with the 1st Bn withdrawing towards the town of Ansong-ni. If there is any other information I could give you, please let me know. Thank you very much for your time!! Andy Serio Email address ----Note: update from KWP on 10/5/96------from Andy Ted, I just wanted to let you know with the help of your internet site and links to other sites, I have been in contact with many members of his company. One veteran and my uncle were good friends, and others can remember him. I can't thank you enough for the results I have made, and new friends (by phone) I have met. They have provided me with quite a bit of information. I have a much better insight of the Korean War than ever before.

The Florczyk Family was notified in 1950 that their son and brother PVT Edward S. Florczyk had died while captured in Korea. No remains were recovered. I understand that numerous requests for information from the military followed that notification. Since that time, the family has wondered if it was possible that Edward was still a POW in Korea? Last month, after reading the Readers Digest publication of Johnson's List, with so much accuracy accredited, they asked me to retrieve a copy. Edward's name appeared on Johnny's List. Tears of grief and relief were shed by all. PFC Wayne "Johnnie" Johnson is truely a hero. He knew that what he was doing was good and right. He created and suffered for his list, for the families, for my friend. I don't know how to thank someone for something like this. His courage and dedication can not go without thanks. He should know how grateful this family is for all he has given of himself, and the peace of mind he has given to them after all these years.
