SFC Billy G. Donahoe

Comments: I would appreciate any information on SFC Billy G. Donahoe. I am the Casualty Assistance Officer for his family. His remains were recently repatriated to the United States and he will be buried next to his mother on 28 Dec 04 in Houston, Texas.

His surviving family knows little of his service in Korea and I'm trying to help them put together the history. SFC Donahoe, served with the 1st Marine Division during the 2d World War. He was killed on or about 12 Dec 1950 near Chosin.

'DOC' DID YOU KNOW HIM ON PORK CHOP?

Comments: Winford arrived in Korea in September 1952 and was back home in July 1953. He didn't talk about his experiences often but when he did, he mentioned a Lt. Stevens, who received a battlefield commission, Carpenter, Jones, Baruda, Mcneese and others I can't recall. He made lots of pictures with a Kodak Reflex camera when he could. He talked of his knees and feet almost freezing and how he dried his socks underneath his clothes. Spoke of rats in his bumker.I am his wife and would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have known him in Korea.Winford's memories are fading following multiple mild strokes. He doesn't like to talk about war stories.

Vorheers saved my life on that day - 22 August 1952 - I never was able to thank him, there were 13 of us trying to capture enemy soldiers for interrogation...I got the farthest, to the entrance of an enemy bunker when I was hit by 4 grenades. Cpl Vorhees came up the hill where I was lying, picked me up, and the 2 of us rolled down the hill and away from direct enemy fire.
