From: wendell cosner oldeo6@indirect.com Date: Wed, 15 May 96 I would like to contact anyone that was with the Marines at Koto-ri, 7 Dec.'50, when the C-119's from Yongpo dropped the eight Treadway spans. Also like to talk to anyone that had a memorable experience with the C-119 airdrops on the way down from the Chosin.
