1995 attack

Comments: my name is brian stearns and remember an attack during 1995. i was in 3rd platoon charlie company 1/506th. my platoon sgt, myself, and another specialist set a cratering charge in the path of a t-72 (may have been t-55). the charge didn't explode on time for someone cut the time fuse too long. inadvertantly, myself and platoon sgt caught some flack from the damned thing when it did go off. we went out to check the situation out since we lost track of the tank. sometimes i have nightmares about it and the tank fired a round between the two of us whcih blew platoon sgt's leg off. I remember doing first aide on him for some time before our platoon medic found us.

whole battalion went on twenty-four hour alert. I got shot in the head (protected by kevlar) and both hips (again protected by kevlar vest and two ammo pouches. they truly saved my life.

everynight I look out windows before going to bed looking for the one who shot me. don't suppose i'll ever find him.

my brother and cousin were both stationed there down south around casey. they stepped outside one of there barracks to have a smoke and fell through the ground where koreans dug a tunnel. didn't catch any of the little guys though.

can't say i remember much about the tank incident other than that. sometimes some of the other guys from my platoon show up. sometimes the medic never shows up. it's like i am reliving the attack over and over again. every time is different though. Sometimes recall an attack on AHA while i was on guard that night at Charlie gate.

Camp Pelham 1st 4th FA Srv. Battery 1990

Comments: Looking for anyone who served at Camp Pelham 1st 4th FA (Service Battery) 1990-1991. Team Spirit 1990. I managed the POL yard at Camp Pelham. So if you needed gas at some point,we probably met I took some pics of the Korean guy with the dog farm during Team Spirit excercises. The guy who owned the photo shop on base "Snap" said alot of pics did not come out. He lied. He did not want the photos to get out. I had a few. Other guys in Srv. Battery had some too. (we witnessed what it was like to harvest a dog like wild game). After I ETS and returned home, my folks home burned to the ground and with it all my pics. I would like to get in touch with guys from my unit and see who still has pics. Would also like to contact Sgt Todd Lipka and Marco Diaz(The post office guy)..Thanks

Looking for 2nd Engineers in Korea from 1967 to 1970 - Any Company

Comments: Please contact me. I am looking for any and all former members of the 2nd Engineer Battalion from any Company who served in Korea at any time in 1967 thru 1969.

Several of your brothers are still fighting the effects of our time in Korea. We need photos, copies of Combat Pay orders, statements of duties of the 2nd Engineers who worked in and along the DMZ or who were in my Company, E Company (Float Bridge).

Right now I am working with several guys from 2nd Engineer Battalion who have multiple health issues as a direct result of exposure to Agent Orange. Yes guys, that stuff sprayed along the fence, around the guard towers and the Guard Posts and Out Posts we were building was the infamous Agent Orange. The stuff sprayed along the roads inside the Zone and around the bridgeheads at Freedom, Libby and the Spoonbill Bridges was Agent Orange. The stuff sprayed around our compounds to kill the brush and weeds was Agent Orange.

Even if you have not had any symtoms, like Diabetes, heart problems, a variety of different cancers, or any other health issues, we need to hear from you. And if you are fighting or have faught with VA for care and compensation for these health problems, we need to hear from you. And most importantly, if you had children conceived after your return from Korea who were born with birth defects, we need to hear from you. If you have been successful in winning a claim filed for Agent Orange poisoning or PTSD as a result of your service in Korea, it is very important for you to contact me.

Even though I am just a former Captain and Company Commander, I made a promise 40 years ago to stand up for my men and to back them in anything as long as they did what the officers and NCOs asked them to do. I take that promise very seriously and now, 40 years later, I will continue to back and stand up for our men. It is very important that I hear from you as soon as possible. For many of your brothers, the time could be very short, but they have families who will need help even if it is too late for the men themselves.

If you can and will help, please contact me at my email: pesteward@hotmail.com, or call me at (706) 996 - 4057.

Thank you.
