Unknown place wher my Great Uncl died

Comments: I'm serving a 1 years tour in South Korea for the USAF. My Great Uncle fell here back in June 11th 1951.

Those who Were There

Comments: I am a Military History student at UNT and a former Marine. I am doing research on the Marines in the Korean War. I need to interview some Marine veterans of Korea who now live in Tarrant County, TX, or who lived there when they joined the Corps. Any phase of Korea is fine, 1950-1953. It is vital that the memories of those who were there are not left out of the historical record and too many people today forget or never knew what Korea was like. Any help is greatly appreciated Semper Fi --Josh Montandon

We would appreciate hearing from anyone who might remember him or being there the same time as him. He remembers bringing his company out of a heavily hit area in the later months of 1952. something about reinforced company, made sure all KIA'S, WIA's & all weapons were brought out of that heavily hit area. Remembers watching many young men die around him. If you remember him please e-mail me. I know dad would be thrilled to hear from someone who was there with him. It would mean alot to the entire family. Dad is now 69 years old. losing his hearing, just got a pace maker, suffers from jungle rot etc. but otherwise is doing okay. Hope there is someone out there who will remember something. Thank you very Much. Christine
