Was assigned 501st CR as 1st Lt.

Comments: Have a photo at the 326th CR adn one next to a Gruman Tigercat I had an exciting ride in to Wonson Harbor area to examine as a potential site for our operations in the future. Pilot has 100 missions, could have taken the milk run back to Itami AB, but instead decided to take an F4U or F4F and on take off a wing folded and he burned. It is my understanding that those of us from WWII adn Korea are departing the gene pool at about 11,000 p/day or was that month!! Hmmmmmmm! Don't make any long range plans anymore!

UNKOWN ARMY SIGNAL UNIT

Comments: In May/June 1955, 2ndRRSq/5th Comm Gp (HQ @ K-55 Osan-ni, now Osan AB)/5th AF, turned over Highpoint(call-sign-Paris Site) VHF/FM Relay Site to an Army unit. I @ that time was OIC Flt. "C" on Highpoint. Highpoint is located +/- 8 mi south of Chonan, about 3 mi east of MSR-1, above Mokchon Village.

For purposes of 2ndRRSq HISTORY, am trying to determine Army signal unit tha received this and other 2ndRRSq sites.

Contacted 2nd Lt Becker, Ops Off, 501st Signal Co., HQ'd @ Pyongtaek, Korea, who indicates 501st still operates Highpoint relay and Bucket (Bucket Alpha call-sign for 2ndRRSq WASHINGTON Site) Site on Hill 170, Osan AB. However, 501st was not activated until 1970.

Contacted LTC Boylan, Chief Public Affairs, 8th Army Korea. Oldest record he could locate for Highpoint was a 1970 Station List. It listed grid coordinates, noted Helipad #508 was on the same hill and Remarks Col. indicated STRATCOM Site #1447. He indicated most records and documents prior to 1970 were retired to the US a long time ago.

Can anyone provide the unit designation I am looking for?

6/52-6/53

Comments: I am a veteran of the Korean War (Sgt.; ASA; “Iron Triangle”; June 52-June 53). I am collecting information on the psychological factors that aided or impeded the POW’s ability to resist complying with the demands of their captors in the face of mind-numbing brutality and the constant treat of death. I am particularly interested in two characteristics that may have played such a role in dealing with the extremely harsh treatment they received. I would appreciate receiving any references or information relating to the role that HUMOR and/or RELIGION might have played in the POW’s resisting the demands of their captors. Thank you.
