Axe Murder Incident, 1976

Comments: Looking for those Hawkers who were there in August, 1976 when Cpt (Major) Bonifas and Lt. Barrett were murdered at the DMZ. I've never been able to let that go. I'd like to share thoughts and feelings about the incident and maybe get a "buddy letter" or two, and just catch up. Any Imjin Scouts and JSA people are welcome to contact me, too, and God bless you for your service--keep up the fire! I need info and help for my claim, maybe we can share. Also, any Scouts and 2ID who served at Camps Sitman and/or Wagner in October 1965, please contact me to help one of your own, a good friend of mine. Thanks.

Comments: I was stationed at a Hawk Missile tactical site located near Seoul Korea from July of 1971 to March of 1972. I do remember South Koreans and others clearing brush around the tactical site. I also remember that there was spraying going on. I believe it was Agent Orange and I would like to have any information on the spraying of agent orange at Hawk Missile Sites in Korea. I was assigned to 38th Artillery Brigade, 7th Battilion, 2nd Artillery, Battery D. KwaChon-Hari, Korea. I currently have the early stages of Diabetes, and I have a handicapped son with multiple birth defects and I am looking into any connection between the agent orange and my son's disabilities.

To all Vets in Korea since 1962

Comments: I had a great call and conversation just after noon today (Wednesday - 5/14) with U.S. Congressman John Doolittle and his assistant Jeff Valuck. He is really hot to go on this and I am going to get one binder in final form for him and send it up there. He said he will get it copied and get it mailed out to all 80 guys (well and some ladies - mostly widows and Vet's Wives) on my list here AND he will get copies made for all members of the House and Senate and get them put in the Representatives and Senators hands.

Based on what he told me on the phone, the best place to be standing in the coming weeks is well behind the fan.

He has already started doing research and is talking with other Congressmen, including Rep. Bob Filner who chairs the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. As you may already know, Congressman Filner held a hearing late last week relating to apparently false statements and information by the Department and Secretary for Veterans Affairs before Congress relating to suicides among vets now returning home from Iraq. At the opening of that hearing Congressman Filner asked Secretary Peake if he should be asking for the resignations of other upper level staff of the VA or if he himself, the Secretary, should be resigning.

Long story short, Congress is not real happy to hear of the problems we (Veterans of the 2nd Korean War) are facing with the VA and Congressman Doolittle has promised to push very hard toward fixing this.

Each of you reading this who served in Korea since 1962 need to get busy writing your Congressmen and Sanators in Washington telling them to contact Congressman Doolittle and join in on this effort.

You can find your Congressional memnbers here:

http://www3.capwiz.com/mygov/dbq/officials/ < < < < COPY AND PASTE THIS IN BROWSER

Congressman Doolittle then plans to schedule a hearing on the issues affecting all Vets who served in Korea since 1962 and work toward getting them ruled Presumptive just as the Vietnam Vets were. He is very interested also in the fact that VA has not been sharing, or at least not paying attention to the Court rulings for other vets when a ruling is handed down. He feels that is a gross injustice on VA's part.

I am going to hook John up with a couple other congressmen who are helping with other vets to get this rolling. I feel good about this and I feel like he will spearhead this for us.

So the Appeals process may soon be mute when all the evidence comes out in Oversight Hearings in both the House and Senate in Washington. Stay tuff, Guys - there is bright light coming into sight in this 40 + year long tunnel.

We will now be "Fireing H.E. Rounds For Effect" on behalf of Vets from the 2nd Korean War! Let's keep the fire hot on VA and let them know we ALL WERE THERE!!

Comments: The smells of Korea still linger in my nostrils. JP4 fumes. Kimchi smelling Katusas. Raw sewage from the village. Raman noodles boiling on GI's hot plates. The stale beer smell of the Lucky Club. The diesel room heaters that were always malfunctioning. The smell of the french fry cooker at the EM club. It was spartan life when it came to living in a quansit hut and the showers where 75 yards away. No such things as internet and cell phones. Just letters to keep it touch with the home folk. But the 13 months went fast and it was fun. Does anyone remember the race riot of the summer of 1972. The new general put the village of Tondouchon off limits for 2 weeks. While the village was off limits the bar owners, the cafes, the shop owners, and the business girls all got together and decided to raise the going price of everything. Cheap trills were over in Korea.
