I'm am looking for anyone who knew my uncle Dow Jay Clark who served in
the Marines 7 INF RGT 1 MAR DIV, Key No 5240 and was killed in action on 
11-29-1950.  

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

On my 2nd tour to Korea I was a tank commander in Anti-Tank Co. 7th 
Marine Rgt. [ 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.
