Information on Unit

Comments: My sons and I are putting together a memorial display (pictures, patches, etc.) for my wife's father Elmer (Al) Reich who served in Korea during 52-53. I beleive he was a truck driver but also saw action. His recollection is that he was part of the Fourth Army. Can anyone give me some ideas about what patches I could buy for the display?

His recollection is that they jumped (was the unit airborne?) in to reinforce a Marine unit that was either surrounded or outnumbered. He also tells stories about after basic going to a ski resort in Washington state that was owned by one of his buddies in basic prior to shipping out.

Anyone recall Al Reich from Chicago?

My Dad served on A Battery, 78th AAA Bat.

Comments: Please note, I have changed my e-mail address to Jsapp73@earthlink.net. My Dad served in Korea from Jan. 52 to May 53. Dad was with Battery A. He recently told me a story about the time they moved his gun up toward the front lines to shell NK bunkers across the Han river. His gun and gun crew, a 50 cal. crew and a mess crew. For about 2 weeks. Talked about a NK gun that started lobbing shells toward their position. After a shell hit about 200 yards away, the next two shells hit at the same point. Lucky for everyone that the NK gun was at max range. First time I heard this story. Hope someone from Dad's unit reads this and contacts me. He is interested in contacting his Comrades from his time in Korea. Thank You!!

Comments: My Father Robert (Bob) A Sapp of Hammond, Indiana served with the 78th AAA Battalion from Jan 52 to May 53. Served on Battery "A". My Dad is getting together more information concerning his time in Korea. He came ashore at Inchon and was stationed near an Air Force Base near the Han River. At first I thought the AFB was Kimpo, but some of my research would indicate his unit was near Suwon AFB. If anyone served with my Dad, he and I would like to hear from you. Thank You.

My closest friend while at the camp in Inchon was Dotson (cannot recall his first name) Mollee was one of the Korean girls who worked in the dining hall. If anyone can recall the two fellows from Olney, Illinois...sure would appreciate hearing about them.

Still looking for inforamtion about my dad

Comments: I'm still looking for information regarding my dad's time in Attu. He was Sgt Elmer Gamboa, he was a boxer, played baseball, and loved to sing and play his guitar. May have gone by the nickname of Bro. I read an article in the 78th AAA Gun Battalion Reunion Times written by John R. Smith. Mr Smith was on Attu in the 40's and maybe knows something about my dad. I would like for John to write back and let me know his address or e-mail. Maybe he knows something about my dad. Any information would help. I have some pictures of my dads time on the Islands and would be willing to share copies with those who were there. I can be contacted at my e-mail address gamboas@sbcglobal.net or at my home address of 2448 Wayfarer Court Discovery Bay CA 94514.
