    Wingman for Col. Karl L. Polifka

    Dear Hal,
    
    Looking for the last name and information regarding a wingman with a first 
    name of William, Willy, Willie, or Bill serving during June-July 1951 in the 
    67th TRW.  He was the wingman for the 67th TRW CO, Col. Karl L. Polifka shot 
    down July 1, 1951.  I met him in 1981, but lost touch.  Thank you.
    
    Sincerely,

    I Was The Night Mess Sgt. @t Kimpo W/ 67th Tac Recon Wing From 11/52 To
    10/53 . I remember Feeding You Guys Coming In At All Times Of The Night
    And Morning.
    
    You Had an Tough Job W/ Unsung Praise (like all of us who were there),
    but, rest assured some of us appreciated your DANGEROUS work. I always
    made it a point to give you the best of What we had in the mess hall at
    the time.
    
    "Bedcheck Charlie" made it difficult at times as we had to shut off all
    stoves and re-pump them up w/air and re-lite them. We had difficult
    conditions ,but, nothing compared to you guys.
    
    Was there when THE MIG W/the defected chinese pilot landed on the
    runway.All hell broke loose that night !
    
    Like to hear from former members of 67th Fd. Serv. Sq. during period of
    Nov.1952 to Sept 1953

    My father, Col. Harvey R. Striegler, was Airbase Group Commander of the
    67th Tac Air Recon Wing at Kimpo Airbase in Korea 1951-52.  Dad passed
    away in September 1995, but he was always proud of his 30+ years of
    active and reserve military service.  Thanks for honoring our Korean War 
    veterans.
    
    I am a Vietnam veteran (Army Field Artillery) and have recently posted
    my own web site at www.erols.com/tlstrieg.
