He was reported as MIA and then changed to KIA 7/6/1953 in the area of Pork Chop Hill. His remains were never returned.

If you remember him or served in that area during that time, please contact me. Thank you!

Domenic Pastore wrote on 2008-05-15 10:11:19.0

Comments: Hello, I'm seeking to contact any 17th Infantry Regiment Veterans who may have known Pvt. Perley L. Burdick, # ER22810252, from Washington County, Rhode Island, & recalls which Company of the 17th he was assigned to. He was twice WIA while serving with the 17th Infantry, once on Feb. 27, 1951, & again on August 31, 1951. If anyone can recall Pvt. Burdick, or perhaps provide me with an idea of where the 17th Inf. was on the above mentioned dates, and what their mission was, I would be most appreciative. I am especially interested in determining which Company of the 17th he was assigned to, for without his Co. assignment, it's very difficult to pinpoint his actual position(s) when he was wounded. If anyone has ANY information pertaining to the above,I will be MOST DEEPLY APPRECIATIVE if they would contact me at: dpast32@aol.com THANK YOU

Regards, Dom Pastore Jr.

Bruce Frazer wrote on 2008-04-25 10:36:09.0

Comments: Then LTC Phillip D. Grimm was our Bn Co from 68-69 at Camp Kaiser, Korea till he went to 7th ID G-3. Col. Grimm was a leader in every sense of the word. Col. Grimm was a platoon leader in 51-52 in the 17th and then came back to command the first Bn in the 68-69 time period. We have a large write up about Col. Grimm on the 17th Infantry web site. I attended his services at Arlington Cemetary and finally got to meet his family whom I felt I already knew fromn serving with Col. Grimm years ago. Our country is lucky to have had the services of Phil Grimm for all those years of Infantry service.

Comments: I am looking for anyone who knew my Dad. His name was Earl Pugsley. He was a corporal in the US Army in Korea. He and his unit got a write-up in Stars and Stripes for breaking up a "red ambush north of Yong Wol". He was 21 years old when he came home from Korea. He was from Fresno, CA. He was in the Korean War in 1951 (probably, we don't have exact dates). Thanks for any responses, and especially, pictures you're willing to share.
