He served with Company K from Waynesburg, PA. He was enlisted from 1950 to 1954. I am looking for anyone that may have served with this same company. His name was William Joseph Church but he went by Bill.

Daniel Jackson May

Comments: Where can I find a list of those who served in the Korean War? I am trying to find info on my father who passed away in 1965. After my father passed away in Tallahassee FL in 1965, our family moved to Indiana to be with my mother's family. We lost touch with my father's side and did not go back to Fl to visit. I recently drove to FL to find my father's grave and found that it is unmarked. I believe that since he served in the Korean War, he may qualify for a Veteran marker for his grave. The problem is that I don't know exactly when he served and I do not have his social security number. I do not have any immediate family left - so I can't get this info from them. My father was born in Gilchrist Trenton FL in 1932 and died in Leon Tallahassee FL in 1965. Is there a list of those who served somewhere???? How can I go about finding the info that I need?

Thanks, Shannon (May) VanHoosier

Info on my father Russell Still

Comments: My father joined the Navy at age 17 in May of 1950 and got out in March 1954 I think his bootcamp was in San Diego and he was in the UDTs but all info I have received so far says no. I have requested his service records but havent got them yet. I think he served on the USS Fort Marion LSD 22 and I know he served for awhile with his brother Wilbur "Pug" for the last few months on a ship DE550 I think. He had a swim partner named Riley from California and he was killed after the war by a drunk driver. My father was injured a couple times during Korea. He was from Iowa and went to Washington state after his discharge in San Fran. Any info would be appreciated. I have a son headed for Iraq anyday now and a daughter off to bootcamp in July and these are our only 2 living children and they are interested in their grandfathers military life. Thank you.
