Garland J Moore

Comments: My dad, Garland J Moore, was a Sgt in the Medical group for the 5th Regimental Combat Team. He earned a Bronze Star in Korea, and a battlefield commission. He served until a medical retirement in 1963 due to a heart condition. He was a Major at that time.

Dad died in November 2006, at the age of 86. He was a good man, a great father to his 5 daughters, and a wonderful husband to our mother Cleo, his wife of 62 years.

We miss him every day, and honor the service he gave to our country, as we honor all of the men and women who have served.

Korean War must be recognized as a war and not a conflict!

Comments: In his Memorial Day speech at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington Cemetary, President Obama talked about honoring our World War II veterans, our Vietnam veterans and the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. But, never mentioned the veterans of the Korean War. It's as though the Korean War never existed!

My father served in the Korean War on the front lines. He was the guy who carried the 50 mm BAR with an assistant carrying the ammo and the tripod. Last guy out of the trenches -- running backward. He witnessed horrific sights that he never spoke about! And he was 17 years old.

He's now 76 years old, has Alzheimer's, was diagnosed with PTSD and has a pacemaker/defibrillator. Yet after 2 long years of dealing with the VA, it seems he isn't entitled to veterans benefits. I'm now having difficulty getting his medals re-issued.

I was in Washington, DC over the Easter week. I walked to the Korean War Memorial to take pictures so my father could see the memorial and I also wanted to be certain my father's name was on the Korean War Honor Roll.

I was greatly disappointed to find that the computers were down and I never had a chance to verify my father's name on that honor roll. I have not yet been able to view that honor roll to be certain my father's name is included.

The First Lady has dedicated her time to many worthy causes one of which is military families and their needs. She wants to be certain the families of military servicemen and women are taken care of. That care must be inclusive of the veterans of not only Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam and World War II but also the veterans of the Korean War.

Is it possible that the reason I am experiencing great difficulty getting benefits for my father and in securing his medals, is that the Korean War is still not considered a war? The Korean War must be recognized as a "war" not a "conflict". And, we must not ever forget the veterans who served in that war! They are just as entitled to honor and benefits as the veterans of World War II, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan!

Looking for buddies

Comments: My father William Ruble was a member of the 5th Regimental Combat Team in "C" company from June or July of 1951 until about August or September of 1952 when he was taken from the front line and sent to Koji Island. The exact months are unclear in his mind. Several men from his unit were plucked off the line and sent to Koji Island. He is unsure how many men were taken off the line from his unit but he thinks less than 6.

He remembers the young faces of the men he served with in great detail but the names slips his mind. Dad was a short man about 5'-6" tall, with black hair. He talked about his platoon sergeant from Louisiana a man dad respected and admired greatly. Dad was a corporal in his unit. Dad said he remembered a man who was either a trainer or a sparing partner of a famous boxer in his unit but is unsure what the mans name was.

Dad never returned to his unit after Koji Island. After Koji Island duty dad went back to the states and helped train new men going to Korea for a brief time and then came home.

When I asked my dad what he remembers the most about Korea he would reply. The winter there was damn cold and the summer there was damn hot.

Dad came home to West Virginia where he was born and raised and still lives to this day. If anyone knew my dad and remembers him he would love to talk to you. He would love to know his buddies are still out there and doing well.

Thank You Mark Ruble

Samdong Boys town

Comments: I am an english teacher and gulf war veteran who volunteers regularly at the 5th regiment sponsored Samdong Boys town orphanage in Seoul. I have started a site on www.facebook.com called Sam Dong Boys Town Orphanage to recruit volunteers and teach people about the origins of this orphanage. I was hoping someone from the sth regiment could give me information or share links with me in support of my recruiting efforts. My father was a non-deployed korean war veteran of the 1st airborne division until he was transfered to the JAG, so the korean war history of this orphanage is not only relevant but very important to me. please share your knowledge and gifts with me. thanks

Looking for my Dad - Charles G. Lewis

Comments: I'm looking for information about my father's time in Korea with the 5TH RCT (1950 - 1951). He passed away last week and never did speak much about his time in combat. I recall mention of a place he called "Death Valley" or "Seven Miles of Hell", but very little else. He did receive a Purple Heart and, I think, a Bronze Star. I just retired from the US Air Force and didn't get to have him with me. My children would also like to know more. If anyone knew him or served with him then, we would be very happy to hear from you. If there is another site with more-detailed information on the 5TH RCT in Korea, I'd appreciate that, as well. Thank you.
