To Johnny Considine of Rego Park,NY

Comments: Dear Johnny, this is your childhood friend from Rego Park, NY. about 1957. We were buddies and paled around with each other all the time. I lived across the street with my family. We had a babysitter named "Ruthie Schwartz" who had C.P. We used to go play where Lefrek City was being built. Once you lost your shoes in a swampy area there. You used to wear your father's jeep cap all the time. I remember that you had alot of sisters. I have been thinking about you and your family all of these years and trying to get in contact with you. I am profoundly affected by the loss of your father in Korea and want you all to know that he is not forgotten. Please contact me. Do you happen to know what happened to Ruthie? Sincerely, Judith Volborth

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

Trying to find family information

Comments: I'm trying to find any information about my great uncle, Capt. Vincent J. Marzello. I recently found information on a website from the US Naval Aviation showing that my uncle's plane was shot down on March 5, 1952. I guess I was just interested to see if anyone "out there" knew him. Thank you for any information you might have. Also, thank you all for everything that you have done and given for our country!

Flame Dragons of the Korean War

Comments: Flame Dragons of the Korean war is a new book detailing the history of the Flame Platoon, Headquarters Company, First Tank Battalion, First Marine Division. This 344-page, 6x9 hardbound account of a little-known Marine Corps unit details the Platoon's activities from the landing at Wolmi-do prior to the Inchon Invasion on 15 Sept 50 to the cease fire 27 July 53. Co-authored by Flame Tankers Jerry Ravino and Jack Carty, and produced by Turner Publishing Company, Flame Dragons is a first-hand account of how the nine specialized twin-barreled Sherman Tanks spread havoc with their flame guns, and launched devastating artillery with their 105mm howitzers. It is recalled, not only by members of the Flame Platoon, but tankers from other units within the First Tank Battalion and fellow Gyrenes from the Fifth Marines and Seventh Marines who bore witness to it in the trenches and outposts during the three years of the conflict in the Land of the Morning Calm. Combat, fear, death and bravery often were anything but calm among these Marines who shared their personal experiences in this historical revelation. More than 180 pictures, mostly originals from scrapbooks of tankers, supplement the oratory which is supported by declassified records and told within a general history of First Marine Division activity in the war. Flame Dragons of the Korean War retails for $27.95, plus $3.05 shipping. It is available by sending a check or money order to Flames Dragons, P.O. Box 102, Barrington NJ 08007. Excerpts may be reviewed at www.flamedragons.com where Jerry Ravino or Jack Carty also may be contacted.
