Comments: I am looking for any images of my grandfather. His name was Louis Westfall from Plymouth,MI. He served in Korea in 1950. Our family has just two pictures of him in uniform. I would like to see if anyone has photos that may list him. I thank you for your help.

Comments: Albert L. Symon received a posthumous Purple Heart, KIA 14 Sep 50.

I was born in 1956 but was given the honor of his name, a curious distinction. Very little info exact unit, company, etc and lots of background story about the battles, etc. I cannot place my uncle in any certain context nor can be convinced of what the circumstances of his demise might have been. Anyone knowing Albert Lee would have also known about his boxing prowess for which there are various photographs taken while his unit was stationed in Japan.

I don't care about all the hype, one way or the other, except that everyone get closure and know the multitudes who we are all indebted to. So many last names, with little to go on, so little information. We, the descendants, of so many races and walks, had common ancestors on the battle field. It would be very good to know that most of us alive today are connected by events we ourselves never shared. We are more family than we know.

I just need answers too.
