1933 - 1994


He is one. One of the forgotten. A forgotten war, forgotten soldiers.

There are so many. Men, women, looking for those who they served with side by side. This is my father. He died in 1994. He never spoke of his time in Korea, but I have had his pictures from the time I was 13. I don't know or maybe don't remember his reason for giving them to me but in the last few weeks I have looked at them over and over again.
I would like to find the men my father served with. I would like to think that maybe I could find out more about who my father was. I am not looking for anything heroic or great deeds, but just the chance to have a better look at who my dad was. When he died he took all of his secrets with him.
I would also like the chance to tell those he knew, of him, for those that remember him.
I am placing the pictures that he left to me so long ago in the hopes that someone will recognize a place, maybe even a face. I have some men that do not have names and it would be a great feeling to be able to find someone that could do that.

THEY DESERVE TO BE REMEMBERED
