226th Signal Company

Comments: You know, now I have gotten to the age of 65 going on 66. I look back on my days, and I still have memories of Chun Chon, (Camp Page) I just read where they closed her down. WOW. People will never know know the hard times, good times, and the mighty fine Cadre that served at this Camp. I was with the 226th Signal Company. I was a loud mouth kid of 17 years old. I had just first got there and they put my bunk on the top of the quansite hut, I had went out and into the village and had a few beers, maybe a girl, just depended on how much won I had. When I got back prior to 2300 hours, my bunk was on the roof. I had a hell of a time getting it down off there, but you can bet your ass one thing, that night no one slept unitl I got the bunk down, put back together and showered and took my good ole easy time doing it, remember some of the men were older because they had been drafted, I was young and healthy as a buck, and could move two days without any rest. It turned out that those same men that had down that turned out to be the best friends a fella could have. Colonel Metcalf was the Commander then, Hell of a man, he had us rolling all the time. I think he might have been trigger happy. You all know, Signal is first in and last out, no matter what the hell anyone tells you. I never moved so much Camo netting in my born days, we had trucks loaded with it. I never could understand this, while we were putting this netting over everyting, migs would fly over low, we would wave at them. Sometimes as we get older we see thing different, I promise. One time we spent 30 complete days on the DMZ, and slept in the two man tents, I do not think that the Army Air Mattress was worth anything, I never could get one to hold air. Anyway enough ramblings on. Just thought I would start you men thinking again, 4th Missile Command is gone forever. You all take care of yourself, Sam Snyder (m48tankerman)

My Father Glen G. Williamson

Comments: My Father, Master Sargent Glen G. Williamson, one of your brothers in arms, served as a teletype repairmen in the signal company passed away September 17, 2008. He was one week shy of his 83rd birthday. I don't remember which signal company, but I know he told me he served under General Huddleston. He told me many stories. I miss him so much and deeply grieve his loss. He lived in Haynesville, Louisiana. He is survived by his spouse of 53 years, 3 children and 2 grandchildren. He was my father and I miss him. I honor his memory by honoring you men in whatever way I can. Sincerely, Keith E. Williamson

Early assignment at Camp Page 1958

Comments: I went from Japan (Yokohama) to Korea (Inchon) aboard the USS General Mitchell on January 23, 1958. Billeted at Poop Young Nee until Camp Page was finished. We wore the 1st ROK Army patch on one sleeve and the 8th Army patch on the other. I started the special services office there and brought 6 bowling alleys up to Chunchon from Seoul on an Honest John flat-bed trailer. I also started other sports groups/activities at Camp Page. I did the MARS phone patches from Page to Tokyo early on. If anyone can remember any of this, please get in touch.
