AARON HEFFELFINGER wrote on July 11, 2011 CITY AND STATE: CAMERON NC UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My grandfather was in the 501st during Korea in the 352d Comm. Recon Co. Unfortunately he passed away in 1972 and almost everything about him has been lost. I was able to find his DD214 and replace his medals and such but I cannot find a 501st patch anywhere. I am trying to make a plaque for my father for his birthday showcasing my grandfather's service but I can't make it until I find that patch somewhere. I've searched Ebay and such and no one has it. If anyone would be willing to let go of one and drop it in an envelope, I would be more than willing to compensate you for it. As a veteran still in the service, this is a really big deal for me, he's the only other veteran in my entire family's history so I feel quite a connection to him. Please let me know if anyone is willing to help me. Thank you and God bless. Keywords: unit patch, Heffelfinger

On 29 May 1951, the 501st Transferred from Camp Pickett to Camp Stoneman, California for staging to Pusan, Korea. The 501st arrived at Pusan on 25 June 1951. The unit spent four days in the Pusan assembly area awaiting sea transportation to Inchon. The 501st arrived at Inchon on 1 July 1951. The Group Headquarters moved into the war damaged main building of the Kyonggi Middle School, Seoul, Korea. By 15 July, the 501st had assumed administrative and operational control of all ASA units in Korea. The 501st Communications Reconnaissance Group represented a first of its kind and a milestone in intelligence support to U.S. tactical forces. The Korean War presented ASA with an opportunity to test its newly formed doctrine in support of a field Army. ASA activated the 501st to direct operations of ASA support units in the Korean Theater, coordinating all ASA activities at each of the lower echelons. By the end of hostilities in July 1953, the Group had three battalions and five companies assigned. Besides the numerous citations awarded to its subordinate units, the Group received the Meritorious Unit Commendation (1 July 1951 to 27 July 1953), the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation (15 July 1951 to 30 April 1953) and credit for participation in six campaigns. On 28 January 1956, the 501st Communications Reconnaissance group was redesignated at HHC, 501st Army Security Group. On 1 July 1956, the 501st ASA group was inactivated and its personnel and mission transferred to the 508th USASA Group, a TDA organization, as part of a worldwide reorganization occurring within the Army Security Agency to provide greater flexibility in support to tactical units.
