Looking back it was a special time in my life that I would never trade. Great group of soldiers, good friendships, special memories. I arrived with, and departed with, Rick Jackson. I will always remember the guys in the Support Platoon, and am proud to have been one of them. Would love to hear from CW3 Herman Hanson, or any of the guys I served with.

What a great site! At age 71, I enjoy looking and thinking back remembering things that went on over there. What great bunch of men to serve with and a great group of officers.

Some of the most memorable times of my life. Too young to really figure out how to have enjoyed it more. Would love to go back and see Changpa-Ri and see if any 40 year olds look like me.--Tom Christie~~~tlchristie80@verizon.net Message Number: 87 - Tuesday, December 29, 2009 08:43:45 MST [IP = 96.238.93.160] -United States

During my time there were a lot of memories. Quite an experience to look back on, but not much fun when I was there. While I was there we had two monsoons that destroyed much of the lower part of the camp by the Laundry, Officers Mess and Motor Pool. A large bridge connected the upper Officer quarters from the other facilities and it was washed away too. Did some patrols inside the DMZ and at one time was about 50 yards from North Korea. A lot of good men served. It was an honor to serve with them. The Turkish units were attached to us and they were really efficient soldiers.--1LT Mike Powder~~~mpowderea@bex.net Message Number: 85 - Saturday, December 5, 2009 15:47:47 MST [IP = 98.219.236.210] -United States

I would like start by THANKING all those past and present who served our great nation. I would like to specially thank SP4 Martinez for an outstanding job with this web page and I commend you for such an extraodinary work. I've entered this commentary under my father's name. He may have served with many of you in Korea. Unfortunately he passsed away Aug 15,1979--I was only five yrs old at the time, therefore I didn't get to know him that well. I would greatly appreciatte that if any of you recognize his name and served with him, to please feel free to contact me. If you have any pictures of him and you are able to share them with me it would be greatly appreciated. As a veteran myself I understand your internal battles and struggles. But you must remember you are NOT forgotten and that this nation stands today because of people like you and me who decided to make a diference and serve our great country. Once again Thank you for your service. And may God bless you all V/r John A Camacho-Ayala Capt,USAF 4526 Boeing Road Scott AFB IL 62225.--Carmelo Camacho-San~~~camacho-ayalaja@hotmail.com Message Number: 83 - Saturday, October 10, 2009 07:53:26 MST [IP = 71.215.131.130] -United States

Can anyone help please!--Barbara Wright~~~msba.wright@gmail.com Message Number: 82 - Wednesday, September 23, 2009 12:14:59 MST [IP = 24.255.247.105] -United States
As I was new to Blue lancer Valley I loved looking at the mountains and that was about it. The men that were stationed at Camp Blue Lancer Valley were the best I had ever served with other than the Berlin Brigade when the "Wall" ear began on 13Aug61. Other than The possibility of malaria; restoring our trenches every spring and the ROK soldiers that were billeted within my Quonset hut (A soldier had to make sure anything you wanted to keep was locked up) and the same nightly patrols along the Imjim (that was well known by North Koreans) made by the 1/12. It was the professionalism of most of the troopers and our mission in Korea plus friends that helped me tolerate Korea and was proud to serve with the 1/12 And we were "Always Ready."--Clinton Leary~~~L1120@cox.net
