Want to know more about my dad

Comments: I am trying to find out inforation about my father Melvin L. Hoagland "Whitey". The only thing that I really know is that he was wounded in the shoulder and received a purple heart. I really never thought of asking him about his military life until it was to late. He passed away last year on September 13. I would really appreciate it if someone knew my father could tell me more. I would really love to be able to tell his grandson about his grandfather the hero. Thank you.

Rangers raptured... need more info

Comments: Dear Sir,

Three men were captured from (I believe) the 8th Ranger unit. My father was one those three men. His name is Gene Goetz. Another, named Frank Levesy (sp) and the other I'm saddened to say I do not know. They were a tough breed that escaped their captors. I'm happy to say so or I wouldn't be here! I'm looking to find more information about/possibly meet/have a reunion for the other two men that escaped with my father. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely, Karl Goetz

LT Pickett

Comments: I'm an Active Duty Officer in the U.S Army. In 1993 while assigned to the U.S Army School of the Americas at Ft Benning, Georgia I had the opportunity to attend the School Commandants Retirement Dinner at the Officers Club, sitting in the same table with me and my wife was the person I later learned was LT Pickett and his wife. Although we introduced each other and our wives, we just had a short casual conversation. It wasn't until a few weeks later while at the Infantry HQ's building at Ft Benning that I noticed a Ranger Hall of Fame display and read LT Picketts citation for bravery.

The biggest regret I have is that no one had informed me prior to then that I had been sitting at the same table with a Korean War hero. I wish I would have known so I could have done some research and could have talked to him about his experiences in Korea. I do recall his wife (a lovely lady) telling me that they'd met while he was in the post hospital recovering from his wounds; I got the impression that they had retired in the Columbus, Georgia area. Anyway I'd thought you'd be interested.

8th and 187th

Comments: My father, CSM Phillip Moore (Ret) served in the 8th Airborne Ranger Co. and the 187 ARCT both during the Korean War. He is doing fine and still a Ranger at heart. I had the honor of attending the 1991 Korean War Ranger Reunion at Ft. Bragg while I was stationed there with SF. Quite an eye opener for a young airborne soldier..it may be "The Forgotten War" to most, but not to me. Thanks.

*th Army Ranger Company Battles

Comments: I am doing some research for a friend whos grandfather was in the war with the 8th Army Ranger Co. I noticed on his discharge papers that he has 3 Bronze battle stars, I am curious if any one can tell me from whaty dates and battle names or location names those battle stars would have been earned at. He was also awarded the CIB from his time in Korea. One last thing, in a matter of months he went from PFC to Sergeant how common was that? Does it mean he was an exceptional soldier? Thank You.
