I went to Japan in July 1950 with the 514th Med Clr Co Sep we went to
Korea in the latter part of Aug 1st part of Sep we were assigned to 8th
Army I Corp as a Med Evac Co.

we were all over Korea from Pusan to within 5 miles of the Yalu river

I was 20 years old at the time of the Chosin battle I know what you were
going through as we were catching Hell also.

The 514th received a Presidential Unit Citation within 30 days we had 
25,000 casualties pass through our hands and we had only 120 assigned
personal we were working day and night around the clock the Gen Order 
# 352 documents it.

I will keep in touch I found the 514th it is still on active duty it is
now called the 514th Ground Ambulance Co.
