In Korea I served on USS Rochester CA 148 from the begining to 1952.
I have three battle stars; Pusan,Inchon and Hungnam.
We were at Hungnam providing covering fire as they made their way
to the the evacuation point so this whole story has made quite an
impression on me.
That Marine experienced two terrible wars in 9 years and died a young
man. -referring to MSGT William John Mc Clung, USMC who died at Chosin
on Dec 7, 1950.
Thanks again.

I am looking for information on reunions of Rochester personnel.
Can anyone help with this request? I am also looking for anyone
who was aboard during that time and was assigned to the
First Division.
