1st and only tour in Korea. Was an E6 then. Many "little" patrols within the DMZ around Dort & Green. Was just one of many experiences, enjoyable, throughout my 23yrs in the Army.--Ron Van Der Maarel~~~ronvandm@yahoo.com

oohhhhhhhhh I love Korea...

Good to look at the information and experiences that we had in this land called Korea makes me appreciate the United States of America each day that goes by.--Thomas Larry Nix~~~tlnix42@bellsouth.net

Had a good tour in South Korea. 3 months at BLV and 3 at OP Dort - rotating back and forth. Got 31 below when I was there. The Imjin River would freeze over in the winter time. I wonder how these areas look today. Shangpari and Nulloree villages were nearby. Often wonder if any of the soldiers I served with there are still around and if I would be able to recognize any of them. I currently serve as Captain of the first Native American Veterans Post in the United States in my area. I stumbled on your website Martinez trying to prepare a brief profile of my tour in South Korea for a booklet be prepared for all our Native American Veterans here at home. I will continue to visit this website to see if I recognize soldiers I served with. Good job Martinez. NOTE: Joseph, please provide an email address so the guys that remember you will contact you, Thanks, Julio

Looking to find fellow controllers who served at Warrior Control in '75 and '76. I have an annual full of photographs, but have lost the names. All clues gratefully accepted. Will Grubb .. aka Golf Bravo .. DMZ Radar~~will.grubb@gmail.com

Just found this site. Looks to be very good.--Oliver Sellers~~~sellers.oliver@gmail.com

Lost all my military papers and pictures in a house fire in '79. Was cleaning out my dad's house last year and came across a few things from my time in Korea that I had sent to him. It brought back a lot of memories of my time there. So started looking and found this site. GOOD JOB putting it together. Loved reading the stories and the pictures. I was in B Co. 702 Mt. Bn. I worked in the motor pool and drove the 5 ton wrecker. Was there from spring of 69 to summer of 70. Got to say this was the best time of my three years in the service. If any one else was there at this time drop me a line at catfish48@windstream.net and say hi.--James McCloskey

Thanks to this web site I was able to contact via phone with John Johnson, Bill Pope and emailed Bill Hunt. It was great hearing from those guys and sharing memories. I sent several of the pictures that we took of each other while in BLV and I'm sure that they remembered most of them and what we were doing at the time. I sent pictures of me now and I'm sure that there was very little resemblence of when we were there as 18 year old kids. I have pictures of a few of us that I keep over my office desk that I look at every day and feel like it was only yesterday rather than 46 years ago that we were there. Thanks so much for the web site.--Walter Martin~~~walter.martin@halliburton.com

Back again, Julio. Had to relive the memories again. Hard to believe that the old "Valley' is nothing anymore, just a fading memory of what it was!!--Harry Belyea~~~hbelyjr44@yahoo.com

GREAT WEB SITE BRINGS BACK LOTS OF MEMORIES OF THE TEA HOUSES IN NULLO-RI. HARD TO BELIEVE ITS BEEN 45 YEARS SINCE I LEFT THERE. MET LOTS OF NICE PEOPLE WHILE I WAS STATIONED THERE. MARRIED TO MY WIFE SUSANNE FOR 42 YEARS AND HAVE ONE DAUGHTER AND ONE SON. SPENT MY WHOLE TOUR AT THE BLUE LANCER VALLEY.--William R. Beattie
