He is my grandfather and I was interested in finding out just what his role was or different stories about times he had in the war. At the time he fought in the war he would hae been between 20 and 24yrs of age. Please if u can give me any information it would be greatly appreicated. Or if u can give me any other ways to find this type of information. thank you for your time.

Just came from a memorial service for Gene Martin, a Korean War Vet, and learned he recieved four bronze stars and a silver star, while serving in Korea. I never knew this, and am a close family friend. His son found out invertantly (and recently) while looking through his father's documents. I don't know if painful memories or modesty kept him from ever mentioning his war record. Either way, he served as a admiral role model for many in his rural community. We could use more like him in this generation. No pertinent comment.

My father was in the 31st Infantry Regiment and fought at Triangle Hill. I learned about your uncle, Father Madden, from several veterans of the 32nd Regiment whom I unterviewed several years ago. Father Madden was very well like and quite a guy. I tried to learn more about him, but had a difficult time tracking down family members. I even called the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for help. I would be glad to share with you some information and photos relevant to him that IO have gathered, and would like to learn more about him. I have an interesting newspoaper article about him retrieving wounded from Pork Chop Hill during that battke that I think you will find fascinating. Please feel free to call or email me any time.

Feel free to drop me e-mail about your uncle's story and I will check it out. Kalani I am trying to list veterans most people have probably never heard of. Currently there is only one Medal of Honor winner on the list, General Dean. I have been slacking on adding people because typing up the postings are time consuming and I have been extremely busy lately. I will definitely probably in the next month or two start adding a few more names to the list. Theresa I have not heard his story.

Nice to know that somebody reads my historical site. But looking for heroes in the Korean War? There are hundreds of thousands of them from all the countries that participated. For example, read some of the after-action excerpts in a book about the initial North Korean advances and having soldiers tell of their accounts of bazooka duds bouncing off the tanks and still standing their ground. Geez!!! GI Korea, can we get more hero stories about the dogface soldiers -- the guys in the trenches? Maybe they didn't win the Medal of Honor, but damn each of them has a story.
