I'm trying to find out how he was killed and if his body was recovered and brought back to the states. Is there anyone out there who knew him? Any information about my uncle would be greatly appreciated by me and Dow's sister. Feel free to call me during the day or email any time. My home email is lorim@ais.net. There has to be somebody out there who knew my uncle. Please help us find out about his last days. Thank you Lori L Ramirez

[ 1st tour was in A Co. 1st Tank Bn.]. Looking for all tankers & 75mm Recoiless Rifle Pltn [Reckless Rifles] whom may recall the football games vs staff/officers in 1953. Our field was over the hump of 2/7 in Samichon valley. Anyone remember day our chowhall blew up time one tanker got a "dear john" and tried to commit suicide,thanks to CO Capt Saunders, he defused situation. How about Marlex III when 90 day wonder lost tank #73, sunk to oceanbottom trying return to LCM of some gook isle in Yellow Sea. There was never a dull moment in that bastard outfit 7th AT"s near "The Hook" and Limey sector. One last gem, bunch of gook peasants demanded we vacate our CP, so they could return to their village site; plus, they angrily didn"t like their temple turned into our Ammo dump . Capt. Saunders told gooks, to their teeth, to go back to their hobo village up the road- if not - he will march his AT-7 Marines with fixed bayonets and route these ungrateful gook bastards to North Goonyland. Yes, these were just some of the macabre day to day incidents in the asshole of the world - KOREA -. Thank God, the CORPS started R&R to Japan to ease our nerves.
