Comments: My father was wounded at least twice however was never officially awarded the Purple Heart. I am in need of details regarding how I can get this awarded to him. I have one personal account of at least one instance but do not have any medical documentation to back it up.

I am a 17yr veteran of the US Air Force and love the work you're doing for Korean War Veterans. To anyone who may see this posting I want to say THANK YOU to the HERO'S that served our great country 50 years ago in Korea. You are this countries greatest generation and I love you!!

Roger Machado - Looking For Those Who Served With Him

Comments: I am interested in hearing from anyone who served with or knew my dad, Roger Machado. He passed away in October, 1998, and I know very little of his twenty years in the Marines (1942-1963), except that he was a gunner with D-2-13-5 at Iwo Jima.

Don Lucia WIA

Comments: My brother-in-law, Don Lucia, died recently. He served in the Marines (7th Regiment or perhaps 7th Marine Division (?) in the South Pacific during WW2. He was recalled for service during the Korean War and I believe participated in the landings at Inchon and Wonsan before being wounded by a Chinese mortar, after which he returned to the USA. His wife has asked me if there is a way she can get a Korean Service Medal from the Marines. I think she wants to use it in some sort of memorial for his children and grandchildren. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you know Bruce Burnette Buls? from Rosenberg, Texas

Comments: Bruce LOVED being a Marine. He later wished he had made it his career.

He complained bitterly about the cold in Korea and seemed to have suffered some damage to his feet from the cold. He also was very cold sensitive, possibly related to his service.

He first married Nelda McDaniels who died in 1990. During his grief, we were introduced and married two years later.

Bruce was a banker when he enlisted. He was a big guy, 6'4", brown hair, green eyes. He was a great story and joke teller. He never met a stranger and was a leader in almost every endeavor throughout his life.

Sadly, he took his life in 1993. He also left 2 sons, and 4 grandchildren.

Comments: Does anyone remember James Leonard Caudill? I don't know his unit, etc. But I know he entered the U.S. Marine Corps on June 22, 1950 and separated on June 22, 1954. He was awarded the Purple Heart on September 15, 1952.

My father just passed away on March 15, 2001 at the age of 69. He was a quiet man who never stopped being a Marine at heart, even though it was his own heart that gave out in the end.

I love and miss him beyond words. Any help in finding out what my father was like in his youth would be appreciated immensely.

He was recently put in a Veterans home here in Paris Maine and When his mind was less forgetful he tried to get a copy of it, unsuccessfully I might add. It would mean a great deal and I would very much like to do this for him. A con man from a state prison tried a scam on him as he started getting forgetful and he was very disappointed by that.
