REMEMBER T.Sgt. STROPES @Chosin?

Comments: Aloha from the beautiful Big Island!

My dad, Marine Corps T.Sgt. Dale STROPES was killed at Chosin on December 3rd, 1950. He received the NAVY CROSS and SILVER STAR in Korea.

I was born 2 months later, so I never knew my dad and my mother's remembrances have always seemed limited. She is now suffering from severe Alzheimer's, so any chance of learning anything more from her about my father is gone. Also gone are all relatives whoever knew him in Illinois. My older brother was too little to remember Stropes (as he was called).

If you knew my dad, would you PLEASE contact me? I'd be most grateful. Semper Fi.....Sherrill Stropes

photos of H/3/5 in a place called Kimpo?

Comments: My Uncle was Sgt. Robert Pierce and I have photos of h/3/5 at a place I think is Kimpo... at least that is what is written in the album. I have scanned the album and am willing to share the photos. Does anyone remember a Sgt. Pierce, it was his second tour as he was in WWII also. Uncle Bob and other were shot up pretty bad on a patrol and were retrieved by other marines coming to their aid... Johnny Saunger (Spelling of last name may not be correct) from Cincy was among the rescue party crew.

Thanks Dick Pierce
