My Dad served in Korea from Jan. 52 to May 53. Dad was with Battery A. He recently told me a story about the time they moved his gun up toward the front lines to shell NK bunkers across the Han river. His gun and gun crew, a 50 cal. crew and a mess crew. For about 2 weeks. Talked about a NK gun that started lobbing shells toward their position. After a shell hit about 200 yards away, the next two shells hit at the same point. Lucky for everyone that the NK gun was at max range. First time I heard this story. Hope someone from Dad's unit reads this and contacts me. He is interested in contacting his Comrades from his time in Korea. Thank You!! Keywords:

TERRY WILLIAMS wrote on December 24, 2001 CITY AND STATE: MELBOURNE AR UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: This is just a thanks to all those who fought in the forgotten war. There are still many of us who appreciate your efforts. I am certainly one of them. Although I never did serve in the military, my 21 years in law enforcement gives me an idea of your sacrifice. MY father is Tilman Williams. He served in the 78th and went to Korea on the Gen Black. He has had some weak moments and told me some of his stories, but anyone that might remember any other stories concerning him and his running mates, I would certainly love to hear about. Again, thanks for your sacrifices for the rest of us. Keywords:
