Looking for my grandfather

Comments: I am trying to find any information about my grandfather. My grandmother is South Korean and my grandfather was Italian American. All I know for sure is that he was serving near Seoul in 1956-1957. His name was Jack Watts and may have been a Major in the Marines. My mother was born Sept. 5, 1957. She has some memories of her father, but he came back to the U.S - possibly to Michigan in 1959-1961. My mother and grandmother moved while he was gone and she never saw him again. I believe my grandmother worked for him as a secretary. I would love to hear from anyone who may have any information that would be helpful.

Comments: Am trying to help my husband prove he was indeed in Korea during 1957-1958 at the Hialeah Compound in Pusan Korea. He was a young man. Lost all proof in the fire at ARPERCEN in 1973. He tells of a General Decker and his boat. He was in cold storage and also an SG. Rode the train that brought stuff into compound as SG. He mentions a Cprl. Brite, a James Stewart, a Frank Peoples, and a couple others. Has pictures of himself and friends but was told he could have been in Japan for all they knew. Would like to know if the uniform in Japan was an OD or an OG and maybe how I can get info for self. Anything would help at this point. Thanks much.
