Comments: On Saturday 26th Sept 2009 I had the good fortune to visit the Korean War Memorial In Washington DC and was very impressed by the imposing figures portraying a foot patrol. There were many people there and most of them were veterans of this conflist.

I felt a bit self-conscious as I was wearing a baseball cap with my UK and UN medal ribbons sewn on to it but was taken aback when several people came up and shook my hand and said " Thank you for serving". Never before had anyone said that to me. It was very emotional.

The main reason for my visit to the US this time was to find where my father was born in Newport News in 1902. The area is now rather run down and sad looking.

My father enlisted into the British Army in 1939 and came out a Lt in 1945. I was very proud of him.
