All we have is his DD-214. We have contacted the department of the army,but they claim all of his service records were destroyed in the fire at the archives in 1976. Karen would just like to contact anyone who served with him, thanks.

All I know for certain is that he was awarded the Purple Heart on 16 Aug 1945 and the Bronze Star on 10 May 1954.

Comments: Soldier's surname was Garcia (Mexican-American), landed with Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces in Lingayen Gulf, Philippines on January 1945. Met him when I was 10 y.o. (am 73 now) when his battalion was marching along the high-way west of the town of Urdaneta, Pangasinan, and they were heading towards Clark Field, an American air base captured by the Japanese in 1942. The Americans were amazed that a kid could speak English and Spanish in the boondocks of the Philippines. Garcia must have been 19-20 y.o. then. I hope he is alive, in good health, and would communicate with me. I still live in the Philippines. Thank you.

Keywords: My grandfather was Leo Joseph O'Brien Jr. from Augusta, Georgia and I know that he was in WW2 (Omaha Beach on D-Day when he was 18 or 19 years old), Korean War and Vietnam. I never had the chance to meet or know more about him and he rarely spoke to my mother and my aunts and uncles so I know very little. He died July 31, 1977. Any help on his unit, etc. would be great.

1960-61 Camp Stanley: Teddy K. Suppe/Shoup/

Column_1_Spacer Column_2_Spacer
Carol Harmon wrote on 2008-07-04 16:30:31.0

Comments: I am searching for my biological father, "Teddy K. Soup" (or "Shoup"?) who served in Korea ~1960-61. He and my mom were engaged, but he was given orders and left before they were married.

My moms Korean name was Pong Sun Kim (Kim, Pong Sun). Teddy was originally from Kansas and possibly worked with or knew of Gerald Lee Adams from Lansing, MI. My mom also spoke of a very kind man by the name of Mr. Burnham (I believe he may have been a colonel?)

Thanks in advance for any information anyone could provide in helping find my father.

God Bless everyone who has served for our country.

Best regards, Carol Harmon carol.harmon@gmail.com

Jon Hester wrote on 2008-06-09 09:40:00.0

Comments: I'm trying to locate anyone who might have served with my father (Sgt. Louis Hester) in the Korean war. Even though he was career army, he spoke little of the war. I've obtained his records and can't really understand the language. The record shows that on 23 July, 1950 his unit was shipped from Ft. Knox to Korea where he was present for 5 campaigns. The unit is listed in his record as "30thOrdHvyMaintCo AFFE." Beyond that I know very little except that he was injured in 1952 and returned to the US, stationed first at Camp Cook, Cal., and then Ft. Lewis, Washington. Would love to hear from anyone who might have known dad.
