Comments: Gentlmen,

My father is Col. Tedsan Timberlake (USA)ret. and was the company Commander of Co "E" 2nd Bn 187th RCT. He particiapated in both jumps made in Korea. My father is eighty-six and has health issues, but being the Junior and Aiborne/Ranger myself, I felt compelled to contact this Org. I have a hand written "After Action" report my father wrote on the events of 20-23 Oct 1950. He lists one jump causuality named, Asencio, from "H" co,which Streamered In and a injured jumper named, Sgt Roper which suffered broken ribs on landing. This is a two page report and I would be proud to e-mail it to anyone which would be interested in reading it.
