My dad Marion A Chaney, he's 93 now. He was in the Korean War. He was asked if he would liked to be in the newly formed commando unit, while he was participating in Operation Longhorn.
He joined the commando unit was sent to Camp Polk Louisiana for training then sent to Korea. Him and 200 men landed at Inchon.
During the war he was wounded and spent 2 weeks in a mash unit.
I wish he could remember exact units, but I'm so proud of him and I do have him still.

Thank you all and the families

I have photos from the Australian contingent in Korea from 1952 / 1953 and also now declassified detailed patrol reports for most of that period. Also reports on other Australian operations.

Would you like them?

If so please email me.

Thanks

A notation from the Naval Squadrons stationed in Korea.
My Dad served with the Naval Reserve Patrol Squadron VP 772 at Atsugi and Iwakuni in 1951. It shows that the tail numbers for the reserve squadrons is unknown. VP772 had the tail number of BH at that time. He served as a tail gunner on the Consolidated PB4Y2 aircraft. After August 51, they were stationed at Barbers Pt, HI, to train new aircrews.

My father, David V LaBrie was in Co.F 2/5, heavy weapons. Positioned at Vegas, I'm pretty sure, as seargent with a 50 cal. crew. WIA March 28, 1953, two years to the day after his graduation at Parris Island, Honor Platoon 84. Anyone who may have fought beside him or having info to add to any of the above, please contact me. I currently live in St. Augustine, FL. Dad has passed and I am craving knowledge of his journey in Korea. Thank you and God bless.

Currently reading Breakout: the Chosin Reservoir Campaign by Martin Russ. I came across this site while looking for photos and maps. The book, while an excellent account of the campaign, is light on supporting material to aid my mental picture of events. I am in awe of the brave men who succeeded against overwhelming odds. I've always respected Marines, but this shines a new light on their tenacity and courage.

On this Memorial Day 2021, God Bless all our service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and bless their families who suffered those losses. I pray our country can hold to its values against the destructive forces at work.
And, get manufacturing back from China, our kids need work.
