Comments: My brother Alfred Raymond Marek died of wounds in Korea. I think that means that he died in a hospital. I would like to know where and where was he when he was injured. How was he injured. I was told that he stepped on a land mine. I would like to know if anyone who may have served with him remembers. He was from Pleasanton, Texas. He always carried a rosary and wrote that he attended the mass when available in the field. I think he was a radio operator.

Comments: God Bless All!! My father Richard Ogden was in the Vietnam War and in 1972 when I was just a year old he died by drowning. I never knew much about my father and it would be heartfelt if I could know more about him through someone that may have known him. His parents are now gone and i just lost my mother. I have many letters that he had written home in from 1966 on and it has plt2213 "H" Co. 2nd RTB MCRD San Diego, California as the address if that helps. He received a purple heart when he was shot in the chest and survived that. If anyone knows him and would like to share what he may have been like please send word... Thanks
