Most of the stories he talks about are of a fire mission on a hill called old baldy and a friend named Dewey Mason. I was able to find Mr. Masons wife a year ago, unfortunately Mr. Mason passed away about a year earlier.

died 10-12-94 in the VA Hospital in Brentwood Ca. I have a letter that
my father wrote to me about the war and the loss of many of his
friends.

In his letter he describes what being under fire meant in cold weather
and no food for days and the loss of more the 5000 soldiers in his unit
and only 1,200 of his unit came back.
