I’m trying to find someone who served with my brother in Korea in the 1952 – 1953 time period. He was killed in an automobile accident in 1959 and when I attempted to get the information I wanted from the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, I found that a fire there in 1973 destroyed most of the records of deceased veterans between 1912 and 1959. After many months, they finally confirmed that my brother’s records were among those destroyed.

I’m displaying some pictures, a citation and a newspaper clipping. This is about all the information I have and would like very much to find someone who knew and served with my brother in Korea. If you knew him, or know someone who might have known him, I’d certainly appreciate hearing from you. You may contact me at:
