Location City/State (Now): Kings Mountain, North Carolina Are/Were you 1st Cavalry? Yes If yes, when and where did you serve with the 1st. Cav. June 1963-January 1964 Aco. 15th Armor What Unit(s)? self found your site a couple of years back Comments: I just found your new book and read through it. I know I only got to spend 7 months or so with the Cav, but that is only because my company was originally with 40th Armor in the 7th Div at the old Camp Beavers north of Camp Casey. My company was moved to give extra support if needed to the 8th and 9th Cav units. If I remember correctly, the area we moved to had been occupied by a transportation unit of infantry unit. We were located just around the curve from the RC location. I remember in July maybe 29th or so when the Cav soldiers were ambushed going to their OP. We were broke down by platoons with different missions with different Cav Troops. I was 17 when I got to Korea, but I was doing what I had wanted to do all my life, soldier, and be a tanker. I went over on the USS GEN DANIEL S. SULTAN and got to fly back when my time was up there. I got to return to Korea in July 1973-74 and was 3rd Platoon Sergeant in Charlie Troop, Camp Rice later named Camp Garrey Owen. I returned again July 1976-77 and was 2nd Platoon Sergeant in Charlie Company 1/72nd Armor in Camp Casey. In all of my tours to Korea, I liked the one with the CAV best. I remember going to the USO in Seoul one time and a guy from 8th army asked me where my patch was from, I told him he wouldn't understand. I did time with 3 different divisions there and I loved every minute of it. I made some very close friends a lost a couple of them there. Write me if you want brothers.

I went to Seoul one time on a weekend pass, do not remember any other trips except to see Bob Hope in early 1963.
