Comments: I am looking for anyone that might have known my late father Floyd L. Dixon Ssgt USMC. Dad was with the Marines that landed in Puson and later Inchon. I believe he served under Chesty Puller. I am interested in knowing about how he was wounded. I have this citation for the bronze Star he receieved and I am looking for anyone that might have known him. His citation reads in part, as follows, if this helps:

"For heroic achievement while serving as a Property Sergeant of Headquarters Battery, First Battalion, 11th Marines, First Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy agressor forces in Korea on 4 December, 1950..."

Before Korea, he was a WWII Marine fighting throughout the South Pacific, joining the Marine Corps in 1939. In later years Dad was a member of the local chapter of the Chosin Few here in Oceanside CA, and returned to Korea with others in '93 for the Anniversary of the Inchon Landing.

Anyone out there that knew him I would sure like to hear from you. He passed away in 1995 and we still miss him terribly.

My husband John Gali C/1/11

Comments: I'm sorry to say that I only now been able to come here and let those of you who knew my husband John Gali that he passed away less than two months afer he posted his last message. He died (June 5, 2006) from a massive heart attack right after he got done diving at South Point, Hawaii (The Southernmost Tip of the United States). He loved the ocean but he loved the Marines more. I remember there many were times he'd come home from a day of fishing at South Point and he'd say that he ran into another marine that remembered him in Korea taking a shower in the snow. He also ran into former marines when they would come to visit Hawaii and walk into the restaurant that John was playing music. He would be so excited when someone walked up to him and told him that they remembered him. John was fortunate to have died doing what he loved doing the most. He would always tell me that he would die at the ocean. Not everyone can choose the place where they are going to passaway. He did. He was layed to rest on Saturday, June 17, 2006 at the Naalehu Community Cemetary in his hometown. It will be a year that he passed away and it seems like he left us just yesterday. We will be remembering his life at a celebration on Saturday, June 17, 2007 starting at noon in the big pavillion down at Punaluu Beach Park. John may you rest in peace! We love you! John Gali: November 5, 1935 ~ June 5, 2006

Much Aloha to you all, Gail Gali

But very few to no veterans. Feel free to contact me with any questions as I have available to me all command diaries and unit diaries for the 11th for all of the Korea War as well as other intresting tidbits and first hand accounts that somehow relate to my Grandfather and the B-1-11.

I do recall a buddy (name unknown)and I had to play dead until our FO group re-took the hill we were on. Another time in the south on our way to help the army I fell out of the truck on my head and taken to a med unit. On Dec 3 from Yudam-ni to Hagaru-ri two officers and about 8 enlisted (I was one of the enlisted) had to bring up the rear of the convoy to hold off an enemy company while pickup the kia. I had to take ammo off the kia because of the shortage. If any one remembers any of this or me I would love to here from you. (The only name I remember is Pfc Gray)

Comments: On a Friday in 1950 between my Jr & Sr year at North Denver High School, I enlisted in the USMC Reserves, the 155 Gun Battalion at the Denver Federal Center. But, due to a lengthy physical, I was too late to be sworn in. I was told to return on Tues to be sworn in. On the Sunday between, the Korean War began and my mother burned my papers since I was just 17. As a result, with regret, I never served I would like to know more about the men that were in the unit and what became of them. I have been told that the unit suffered 75% KIA or wounded. My wife is an Air Force Veteran who served during the Korean War and is currently VP of the Denver Chapter of the KWVA.
