Location City/State (Now): Pendleton Are/Were you 1st Cavalry? no What Unit(s)? John McClean Comments: This is a heads up to anyone who is missing any part of his personnel or medical records for his tour of duty in Korea. The Armed Services needs to know that. As it stands now they think that missing records for Korea is an anomoly not the norm. Use the 1-866-727-4894 number and ask for The House Armed Services Committee. When they answer the phone ask for John Chapla with the subcommittee on Military Personnel. You will probably have to leave John a voice mail but he needs to know that you are 1- missing your personnel file or medical file; 2- missing documentation that would approve your VA Disability Claim. They need to know how bad the records deal is. As a matter of fact DOA does not know where to find your Field Personnel Jacket or your Field Medical Records. These are not at NPRC they are supposed to be with DOA somewhere. Congress needs to make them go find them and do it immediately.
Location City/State (Now): Hannibal, Missouri Are/Were you 1st Cavalry? no What Unit(s)? found on google Comments: I found out two years ago that my father MSG Harry Melvin Kinney was stationed in Korea in the late 50's early 60's and was married in the Korean tradition. They had a child as best as I can calculate between 59-61. My father passed away in 98 never telling me or my mother about this child. She knew of the marriage, I did not. One day while talking to my aunt she told me. She had never said anything to my mom or I. She said my father wanted to bring them back. She gave me a picture of them and a letter he had wrote her asking for diapers. My mom passed away last month and we still had not found her. He gave her the American name of Karen Kay Kinney. If anyone knows anything please contact me. I want to find her now more than ever. Thank you for reading this post and thank you for your service to our country!
Location City/State (Now): Brownfield Texas Are/Were you 1st Cavalry? Yes If yes, when and where did you serve with the 1st. Cav. Hq Troop (th Cav Recon 1958-1959 What Unit(s)? surfing Comments: I served as radio repairman. Memorable events. Sometime during 1959 the North Koreans moved a large number of troops and artillery out in the DMZ and seemed to try to intimidate us into doing something. They stayed several hours and finally moved out. I have tried to find a news clip of this event but had no luck. Another incident : During my time there I noted that on the Katusa's payday they always marched up on the hill to get paid. One month I followed them. I hid and watched. All of them were relieved of their money, which wasn't much and part of their rations.I made sure that this did not go unnoticed by headquarters. After a day or two their Lt. and Sargent was gone and were not replaced. I never told any of the Katusas but somehow they found out and I was their no.1 buddy for the rest of my time there. Incident 3. I was almost shot by one of my friends?? He was twirling a 45 and it discharged. The bullet went through a plastic window. I was at a bench near the window . Deafened me and couldn't have missed me by much.

Cav. 1st time Korea What Unit(s)? no one Comments: I have known about this site for approx. two (2) years. I joined the site but then I figured out that I was not as ready as I thought I was to rehash old times. I talked to Sgt. Maclean & explained what I had done & he understood & he put my app. on the back burner until now. Thanks Sgt. Mac. I will not talk to anyone about the MUD the BLOOD & the TEARS that I have witnessed as most of you have. I would just like to have someone to talk to that has served in the US Military. As far as I am concerned you don't have to be a combat veteran, this is just addressed to any & all US Veterans. HOOAH----iadrang---- |
