Comments: My Dad was a POW in Camp 1 of Ch'ang Song from '51 to '53. He was captured in May, during the "May Massacre". He passed away in 1977, when I was only 17, so I never really got a chance to know him and all that he went through as a POW. He simply didn't want to talk about most of it. Does anyone out there recall my Dad? I would love to hear any snippets of your memories of my Hero

My grandfather served in the U.S. Army and was captured by the Chinese "Reds" on January 3, 1951. He was in the Chang-Song POW camp for 31 months and released on August 24, 1953. He was in the 25th Division Unit 27. Once released he returned home and met my grandmother and had 8 children, 11 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. I am the first and oldest grandchild and am proud of the Man my Grandfather was. I am actually online in hopes to have his name placed on a memorial. Thank you to all who have served, and died for our Freedom and others'. My Heroic Grandfather has since passed away on November 21, 2000 at the age of 71.
