Comments: My grandfather, Kenneth Brown Porter Sr., was in Korea in November 1950. His company was surrendered on Nov 30 1950 at 4:30am. I do not have any pictures of him in Korea. However, At least one picture of him survived from his service in WWII. My Grandpa was born in 1923. He was born in Florida and my father tells me he thinks he was in the 31st Infantry 7th Division Company B, 4th platoon, Heavy Weapons Mortar Assistant on a 60mm tube. He spent the remainder of the war till August 1953, in POW Camp 3 in Ch'ang-Song. His rank was only a Private E-2 during his service in Korea. He held the rank of Sergent until he was busted to private, just before the war, when an accidental discharge of his weapon on guard duty struck Orland Edland, another MP on his post at Fort Ord. Orland survived and never went to Korea. He lived until 1997.

Grandpa did make it out of Korea where his rank was restored only to die a few years later in a skiing accident. I am looking for any information about Kenneth Brown Porter Sr of Bay County or Panama City Florida. Service #RA34546235. He was known as the old man due to his age according to some reports. Can you help me? Thank you. J Porter

Comments: My father was in K Co. in the chosin Res. along with other members of the Company. The History Channel ran a special about the Chosin battle but only talked about the Marines that fought there and nothing about the army troops that fought and died there. I contacted the History Channel 2 years ago and that said they cant do anything about it. I made a suggestion about running a program about K Co. and they flat out said NO !!!. I think it's only fair they run a program about K Co.'s role so as not to dimmish there role in that battle. I've been writihg to as many people as i could to stress this point but to no avail. If some others start writing also maybe some thing might get done!!! My fathers name was Donald E. Blake. If anyone who reads this knew him and have any stories I would love to hear them. Thank you.

My computer has since crashed and I lost this young man's email. I can only remember that his email addy had captain in it and his grandpa had also served in Korea. He is 17 years old and is an avid collector of military memorabilia. If he could please contact me again I'd greatly appreciate it so that I can give him the interview with my Dad. Also if anyone remembers my Dad, Luster Charles US Army 7th Division Company F 31st Infantry.. served from 1950-1951 he was a supply sergeant near the front lines..if you remember him at all please contact me.
