Comments: To all who served with my father Peter R. Giulioni in Korea. I am the son that was born in June 1952 the week before Peter was killed. I would very much appreciate any help you can offer around receiving details about my father's time in Korea. My life has taken many strange turns over the years, none stranger than trying to cope with not knowing my father. Thank you for your detailed description of my dad's final months, and any other thoughts or memories you might have would be most appreciated. Warm regards, Pete

Comments: My father was approx. 1 year younger than PFC Ralph Zecco, he was also in the Army. He never stopped looking for his brother. Why weren't his remains never found? Could he have been a prisoner of war? My father, Staff SGT. Patsy Zecco believed this to be the case.

Thank you, Arlene Bond
