T. J. wrote on November 27, 2005 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: Hej Göran! The medal you got was the ww2 version of the medal of freedom wich was created in 1945 and given to civilians that has helped the US, for instance to ww2 resistance fighters. I got the medals of an other veteran of the swedish field hospital in Korea - Gillis Röing. Among his medals are also this version of the Medal of Freedom. Interested if you have any information about this Röing and what he did at the field hospitals. Inn 1963 the medal of freedom was instituted again but with a new apperence and is more prestigious.

ROBERT NIEDERSCHMIDT wrote on May 22, 2001 City and State: CINCINNATI OH Unit: K-9 AIR BASE- PUSAN EAST Service or Relationship: AIR FORCE VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I was on the main gate when the call came through that there were people in the ocean and to send help. There was a typhoon coming in and the sea had some very high waves coming into the beach. I called someone who called the US Army Hialeha Coumpound in Pusan for help. We had no helicopters but the Army did. Some Air Force people went and the Army sent MPs. It was daylight but when the swimmers went in attached to ropes, they were washed back up on the beach. They were cut up pretty bad. The report was that 6 people from the Swedish Army Hospital had been watching the waves come in when they were suddenly swept off the beach and into the water. They managed to make it to a place where they could stand up but could not get back to the beach. No one could get a helicopter up because of the winds. All personnel in the water disappeared. I read in the "Stars and Stripes" more of the details than I knew that day. Later, my brother sent me a newspaper clipping from the Cincinnati Enquirer about the drownings. I will always remember the good things that the Swedish Medical people did for us. Keywords: Drowning of Swedish Army Medical personnel in 1956 at beach near Haeundae South Korea.
