MARY MCGUIRE wrote on July 19, 2004 CITY AND STATE: SHELBYVILLE IL UNIT: 2ND BN/1ST MARINES/1ST MARINE DIVISION FMF SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Looking for stories/info on my father John McGuire. He was a corpsman attached to the 2nd battalion 1st marine reg, 1st marine div. He didn't speak much about his experiences. I do know from his records that he participated in the assault and seizure of Inchon, the capture and securing Seoul, and the Wonsan-Hamhung-Chosin campaign. I do know that he received a Purple Heart- it seems he was tending a wounded marine when a grenade was thrown. He layed over the marine to protect him and received shrapnel(?) to the left side of his neck and left arm. My father was a good man, very strict on us 16 kids, but still good at heart. Just curious as to what he did,saw etc. that molded him into the man I knew. Thank you Mary C. McGuire Daughter of a corpsman!
