Comments: I transferred into the 64th AAA Gun Bn sometime in 1950. I was in the Quad .50 Squad, with a ground mount. I can't spell the 1st Sgt. name but when I rotated back to the States, Kenneth Merchant was 1st Sgt. I rotated some time in 1952. Came back to Ft. Ord for 7 months, shipped to Japan on way to Korea in 1953 & came home for discharge in 1954. If any from the 64th remember me, I'd like to hear from them. I've had 2 fires while living in Nevada & lost all my pic's from Japan. I have trouble remembering names now but believe I can remember some faces. I now live in Oregon.

Comments: Hello:

My Uncle Herbert Kiek was MIA @ Chosin Resovoir. I have heard he kept Chinese/N. Korean troops @ bay with a .50 cal. machine gun until they saw him being overrun. There was slght hope he may have survivied as he allegedly had won a large amount of money the night before gambling with his co-horts. Anyway, he was delcared MIA & was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, UN & Republic of S.Korean Service medals. I have recently been contacted by American Armed Forces Joint MIA/KIA Accounting Command(JPAC). JPAC and the Army Casualty Office are looking for a family member to donate a DNA sample to be used for the identification of remains recovered from the Korean War which we have been advised may be those of US Army Sergeant Herbert Kiek. I just wanted ask if anyone had heard any other information on this event, the records I have found show: KIEK HERBERT M CPL ARMY LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA 02 DEC 1950 DIED WHILE MISSING; he must have been posthumously promoted to Sgt. Any information you have would be appreciated. Thank You! Robert Kiek

Although we were AA, we served as Infantry support, mainly with the
