Comments: I am looking for my dad. Thanks to the people here at the KWP, I have found his casualty listing.

My dad's name is James A. Browne. He suffered a rather bad wound to the groin area on May 18, 1951. I am just trying to find some of his friends who may still be in contact with him.

We lost touch years ago and he has a grandson (one of several grandchildren) who is anxious to meet him. Ryan is now a Marine, like is father was, but proudly continuing the family tradition of service to our country.

If anyone out there knows Jim Browne (not the football player/actor) please get in touch with me.

I really miss my dad.

Comments: I'm looking for anyone who might have been part of my unit from June 1950 to July 1951. In the winter of "50 '51 I spent a month in a hospital in Sasabo, Japan due to burns on my face. When I returned to my unit I found out they had been north to the reservoir and about half or more of my company were gone. I felt like a stranger. I was a SFC in charge of a 60mm mortar squad. Today we had rice for supper. I told my wife that almost every time I eat rice I think of Korea,and of the Chinese who carried balls of the stuff wrapped in newspaper. They left their dead and wounded--we never did.

Keywords: Hill 193, Chipyongnee. Being in defense of the Han River. Im sorry, I can't remember any names of my buddies. Actually, because of the dreams I've had I can't separate fantasy from reality. At Chipyongnee three members of my squad took a direct hit-we found body parts of two, and the legs were gone on the third.

Comments: My Dad, Don Mervicker, would like to speak with anyone who knew his Uncle, Sgt. Robert L. Mervicker, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. Sgt. Mervicker was KIA on 1 Sept. 1950 during the battle at Naktong River. Joe Stryker, Berry Rhoden, and Terry McDaniel were also there at that time and survived. I know this from an article I read ("Only a Few Came Home")that was written in 2004 by author David Halberstam who interviewed these three brave men. Hopefully they will get this message and contact me, or anyone else with any information. It would be greatly appreciated. It means alot to my Dad. Thank you for your help.
