Looking For Buddies

From: Tom Muir *

Thanks for the quick response Ted, I was with the 7th Marines 
1st Mar Div FMF Pac from Inchon through the Chosin and all the 
rest until Sept 1951 so that is the general area of interest. 
Thanks again

Like to hear from anyone that knew the following. I believe they were 
with the 7th Marines.

Bannana Nose Parker
Harold Knutson
Conny Olson (Sonny)

Harold was killed in Korea. Sonny died back in the 80's due to illness
caused by wounds he suffered. I believe Bannana Nose went on to work
with LA police.

My Dad served with the 7th Marine Reg in Korea and participated in the
Chosin Res campaign.  I am trying to find anyone who knew him.  He was 
a Navy Corpman by the name of Robert W. Thomas.

He probably went by "Bob", but, like me (a Jr.), he was probably called
"Tom" (or as most corpmen "Doc"). He received the Purple Heart while
serving and his story was that a Chicom grenade went off behind him as 
he was pulling another Marine over a log.  He did not talk much about 
the war, but I got this out of him becuase as a kid I saw the scar 
tissue around both ankles and calves and asked how he got that.

He never lived to see the Memorial finally constructed, but since I live
close by I go there often to honor both him and the other men and women
who served and died in Korea.

Semper Fi AND Anchors Aweigh!
Thanks,
Bob
