Camp Stanley 77-78

Comments: WOW . . I just happened on this site. Reading some of your post brings back some great-crazy-strange memories.

I was at Camp Stanley during 1977-1978 and remember the tree incident. I was off post with a 24 hour pass and woke up drunk missing the base siren. Got in a little trouble for that one. Good thing I was a UP at the time.

Someone made a commit about racial tensions back then. I remember the black guys would where these flight jackets with a picture of a Big Black Panther attacking a White Rabbit. My friends and I had fun with those guys.

Made a lot of money selling bottles of Scotch, Cigarettes , Spam what was up with that , stereo's, and dogs. I was very much the young capitalism.

I am a business owner "sales" and got my start selling stuff on the Korean black market.

5$ Short times and 10$ Long Time , The hottest summers and coldest winters in memory.

Things that comes to mind: 12:00 curfews , running up the hill evermorning , my Captain shooting a friend of mine, serving three tours as a UP on the Gate that was GREAT, the penicillin shots , liquid codeine, The Astro Club , Learning Hap Ki Do , the back gate , putting coal blocks under my hooch in the winter to warm the floor, AND GREAT LOOKIMG KOREAN GIRLS.

Anybody want to reminisce or share photos I have plenty give me a shout.

B Btry I Bn 44th ADA (Kunsan 1977)

Comments: Greetings. I was enjoyable reading the entries from those who have served in Korea, long ago. I served there in 77 and was assigned to Bravo Btry 1st Bn 44th ADA (Kunsan). Being nearly 50 years old now, I don't think a day has passed that I don't remember. It certainly was one hell of a ride. From the soju to the mamasans and "loving her long time" down in A-Town. From selling my 4 bottles of booze to papasan every month for double (capitalism at its finest)to freezing my butt off sitting in the back of a 2.5 on the way up to the Rock,it was all good, or at least I can say that now.

Currently, I serve as the commanding officer for the Niagara Falls Junior Military League Cadets. The Cadets are a JROTC Program here in Niagara Falls, New York. We are part of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Youth Coitizenship Education Program. If anyone would like to see some pictures of my Cadets just let me know. Anyhow, if anyone remembers serving there with me, let me know. Chris P. Crane, Nate Brock, David Neuenswander. Sam the Bam, Money Dog.

Hope to hear from you.

Axe Murder Incident, 1976

Comments: Looking for those Hawkers who were there in August, 1976 when Cpt (Major) Bonifas and Lt. Barrett were murdered at the DMZ. I've never been able to let that go. I'd like to share thoughts and feelings about the incident and maybe get a "buddy letter" or two, and just catch up. Any Imjin Scouts and JSA people are welcome to contact me, too, and God bless you for your service--keep up the fire! I need info and help for my claim, maybe we can share. Also, any Scouts and 2ID who served at Camps Sitman and/or Wagner in October 1965, please contact me to help one of your own, a good friend of mine. Thanks.

Comments: I was stationed at a Hawk Missile tactical site located near Seoul Korea from July of 1971 to March of 1972. I do remember South Koreans and others clearing brush around the tactical site. I also remember that there was spraying going on. I believe it was Agent Orange and I would like to have any information on the spraying of agent orange at Hawk Missile Sites in Korea. I was assigned to 38th Artillery Brigade, 7th Battilion, 2nd Artillery, Battery D. KwaChon-Hari, Korea. I currently have the early stages of Diabetes, and I have a handicapped son with multiple birth defects and I am looking into any connection between the agent orange and my son's disabilities.

To all Vets in Korea since 1962

Comments: I had a great call and conversation just after noon today (Wednesday - 5/14) with U.S. Congressman John Doolittle and his assistant Jeff Valuck. He is really hot to go on this and I am going to get one binder in final form for him and send it up there. He said he will get it copied and get it mailed out to all 80 guys (well and some ladies - mostly widows and Vet's Wives) on my list here AND he will get copies made for all members of the House and Senate and get them put in the Representatives and Senators hands.

Based on what he told me on the phone, the best place to be standing in the coming weeks is well behind the fan.

He has already started doing research and is talking with other Congressmen, including Rep. Bob Filner who chairs the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. As you may already know, Congressman Filner held a hearing late last week relating to apparently false statements and information by the Department and Secretary for Veterans Affairs before Congress relating to suicides among vets now returning home from Iraq. At the opening of that hearing Congressman Filner asked Secretary Peake if he should be asking for the resignations of other upper level staff of the VA or if he himself, the Secretary, should be resigning.

Long story short, Congress is not real happy to hear of the problems we (Veterans of the 2nd Korean War) are facing with the VA and Congressman Doolittle has promised to push very hard toward fixing this.

Each of you reading this who served in Korea since 1962 need to get busy writing your Congressmen and Sanators in Washington telling them to contact Congressman Doolittle and join in on this effort.

You can find your Congressional memnbers here:

http://www3.capwiz.com/mygov/dbq/officials/ < < < < COPY AND PASTE THIS IN BROWSER

Congressman Doolittle then plans to schedule a hearing on the issues affecting all Vets who served in Korea since 1962 and work toward getting them ruled Presumptive just as the Vietnam Vets were. He is very interested also in the fact that VA has not been sharing, or at least not paying attention to the Court rulings for other vets when a ruling is handed down. He feels that is a gross injustice on VA's part.

I am going to hook John up with a couple other congressmen who are helping with other vets to get this rolling. I feel good about this and I feel like he will spearhead this for us.

So the Appeals process may soon be mute when all the evidence comes out in Oversight Hearings in both the House and Senate in Washington. Stay tuff, Guys - there is bright light coming into sight in this 40 + year long tunnel.

We will now be "Fireing H.E. Rounds For Effect" on behalf of Vets from the 2nd Korean War! Let's keep the fire hot on VA and let them know we ALL WERE THERE!!
