LOOKING FOR BIRTHFATHER'S FRIENDS

Comments: I am trying to find anyone who served on a landing ship tank with Vernon Sweigart during the Korean War. He is my birthfather and is now deceased. The photo I have of him says he was serving on LST 306, but I can't find this in the listing. He was tall and had brown hair and was SN. Forgive me for not knowing Navy terminology. Did anyone know him? I wanted to learn what he was like, that's all. Thank you for any information or advice you could give me on how to find someone who knew him.

My question is, I believe the ducks were given the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation as well.

I am interested in finding info on naval air operations during the
Korean War and in particular I'd like to delve into the accounts of 
those pilots KIA.  Is there any place online that I might find or 
request such information?

My compliments on the wonderful presentation you and your group of
volunteers have put together on this topic.

I know my grandfather (Edward Joseph Cimburek) was in the Navy. He was
located in the Phillipines during the war. He was with 13 other people
when thier sea-plane crashed. This is what I found out. A sea-plane
usually went on a flight with 14 crew members. On that particular day 2
people called in sick. 

One however, decided he could fly. The other one didn't go. The signals 
on the plane indicated water below. (That was the only part of land they
could safely come down on.) They were having trouble with their engine.

Instead of landing they crashed into the side of Mt. Baton. Those men 
were only 30 days from coming home. I hope this helps. This is all I 
know. Thanks for your time and your help.

Sincerely,
