07:38
you sure we’re giving you said you
07:42
assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division 30
07:44
what 3rd Infantry Division yeah and
07:49
essentially after 30 days day of
07:51
regrouping that’s when we told me that
07:54
much water we were going to go to talk
07:58
to Korea and this is the scheduler show
08:01
you full career nothing tell me about it
08:04
so you went to directly to one son
08:07
directly to one son and then way by LSTs
08:13
all the way up to one to one son they
08:18
never got up the one son and then he
08:20
said the tournament that I 1st infantry
08:23
division had been in trouble and they
08:25
needed materials and some supplies so
08:28
I’ll company there and then the rest of
08:31
the divisions there had to finish half
08:33
of my equipment we had to go all the way
08:35
up to shows on songs in whole journey or
08:40
whatever it is we spent in two days we
08:45
got badly overrun by then to cringe the
08:49
Chinese government Chinese people read
08:51
up yeah and you never seen anything like
08:53
it they ran across
08:55
the whole divisions whatnot with just a
08:58
big sticks along bamboos and no weapons
09:01
somehow I had no weapons at all just run
09:04
let you see when you tell you when you
09:06
just a parental redness you know how are
09:09
they all of rude I was attack you well
09:12
that’s how the Chinese did that Jesus
09:14
table watching it was so they had no
09:16
choice but to retrieve so tell
09:19
headquarters bid tell us that we’re
09:24
gonna have to go back down to push on
09:25
that why because the chlorines had
09:28
already moved across the island of Korea
09:32
all the way down and will interfere with
09:35
our people that’ll come in on that area
09:38
there so uh so we moved to ruin all the
09:42
way back down with one by my LSD but let
09:46
me tell you a story about the LSD when
09:48
the only LSD when we got on the LSD the
09:52
captain of the ship says I want all of
09:55
you to be on 24-hour alert why he says
09:59
here are bamboos we give you long
10:01
bamboos and the bamboos was to watch
10:04
them do we go and the real estate would
10:07
drive down slowly with a huge for us
10:11
floodlights sign in on both sides of the
10:14
LSD not into the ocean and then as we
10:19
were going down it took us three days to
10:20
move from from once on from chosen to
10:24
Monsanto back to push on we’re LSTs and
10:28
everybody was given a duty on the side
10:30
of the ship the flood lights were
10:32
shining down on the water and when you
10:35
would look at that and see well we were
10:37
told you look for mine is in the ocean
10:40
here and if you see a mind you move it
10:42
with the end with the bamboo and we
10:44
called Blaine mine mine and this kinship
10:47
would will slow down itself a speedy not
10:51
but they were driving very slow anyway
10:52
that’s why what took us so long said we
10:56
would move the smell Cologne the captain
10:58
twisting lessons beginners just I depend
11:00
on you because if anything should happen
11:02
we’re all going to go with the sea
11:04
because so dangerous doesn’t have my
11:07
mind so that’s what we did was
11:09
move those mines away and then the tail
11:11
estate would move slowly across the keep
11:13
going and we safely wind up in implosion
11:16
tell me about Chinese soldier and you
11:20
saw many many American soldier kill
11:23
their in chosen right yes we did you see
11:26
them kill like like I don’t know I can’t
11:29
say sell because they were just one and
11:30
another one because most of the people
11:33
from that passivity division will
11:36
already frozen heavily frozen that you
11:38
took over because when we first landed
11:41
in one son he was 25 below zero yeah and
11:44
that’s pretty cold from the way to all
11:47
the way to 22 chosen you know and so a
11:52
lot of the people were in a frozen was
11:56
shot because they had that they drop
11:58
their weapons already because they’re so
11:59
cold it can’t do anything so we lost a
12:02
lot of mainly on the upward front lines
12:04
because of the Chinese overruns so then
12:07
when Oh Anna well I’ll come and visit
12:09
had to move out all the way back to push
12:13
on that’s why we came back all the way
12:14
down to push on and in done in push on
12:18
we started to come back up country and I
12:20
and I have a map here shows we’re done
12:24
that people who would do it place it did
12:26
we stop in the back here you still have
12:33
a nightmare yeah it’s done Thomas corner
12:36
I got rid of that long time ago and I
12:39
have a list here of all if I was
12:42
assigned to the signal company on my
12:44
communications like electronic engineer
12:48
so as an SNES second in the group class
12:52
until the signal division a single
12:54
company rather well moved after into
12:58
three three different groups the single
13:00
company history giving good head the
13:02
mean do you mean mean to be a single
13:04
company and then we were sent three
13:07
different sections then we moved up and
13:10
I was in advance organizational every
13:13
two hours we moved up into Korea and
13:17
have a listing of all the all the
13:19
listings of don’t where we stop and and
13:22
we would
13:23
Upton and our job watched as
13:25
communicator who recorded that you have
13:28
noticed is the first time that you get
13:30
it done yeah but you recorded every
13:32
place that yes yes because everywhere
13:34
well every time we stop by me that I
13:37
have a the head of radical he’s done
13:39
such an oval map at the time the map
13:42
that he have now is not up to date you
13:44
know when this is not that what that map
13:46
goes and we recorded all these dates of
13:50
their own it and so uh as we went up to
13:54
up country all the way up the country
13:56
maybe every two hours or so we had to
13:59
move and the water was so cold and
14:02
everything else and after we move over
14:04
toward we put up more tense and we have
14:07
on our foot foot people set up what
14:12
music Ross to have been breakfast I want
14:15
that and the tension we never know where
14:18
we’re going to move that why Spanish I
14:20
either flooded or solid ice so we put on
14:23
tents up so by morning time we lost in
14:28
the main section so we lost dude big
14:30
tents it felt all over us completely got
14:32
burned because I come on demo we have no
14:35
choice because we had at night we had to
14:37
after we moved we were always on your
14:39
terms make yourself communication told
14:43
that the division has different manner
14:47
rather work alone eunice that a cuddler
14:52
unison whatnot all different areas there
14:55
and as they would go they would
14:57
communicate with us because we have been
14:59
communicated we didn’t send it to the
15:02
division the division said to call and
15:04
coy was it all in part of a middle of
15:09
mashhad end up in our uncle Sol Sol he’s
15:13
moving all over Pusan and soul and yes
15:16
went across the yellow with the hood
15:18
hungry were too because when we first
15:20
went through the second time we had to
15:22
cross the Han River and the Han River
15:24
was frozen with ice so we had to cut the
15:27
arm I didn’t make room for this kind of
15:31
put the car what I call a run good way
15:36
like that
15:37
put a voice to put in down to the ships
15:39
can cut your grass the vehicles came
15:41
across a theater one thing we learned
15:45
about ice over there be challenged in
15:47
the Sun that’s where you and we’ll keep
15:50
in food with food would they were very
15:52
look a little would do we got here they
15:55
only give us a very minimal kings and
15:57
most of its cold let me tell you
15:59
something the first first night plus
16:02
money and that we landed in there one
16:03
son it says you’re going to have
16:05
breakfast I said fine what kind of
16:07
brother are going to have well we didn’t
16:09

16:11
have we have was that he was biscuits
16:14
roll biscuits about three inches in
16:16
diameter and you and you eaten the
16:20
hibiscus I mean the biscuits but put it
16:23
on the ground here it was like a ball
16:25
like a role that’s so hard it was just
16:27
eat that other than that we had a lot of
16:30
sardines and salmon canned goods most of
16:34
most awkward there was was the canned
16:36
goods because the little unit that we
16:39
had had no not enough time to put up
16:42
their best falls over and eating places
16:44
where they did they did promote that’s
16:47
coffee a lot of coffee and we had every
16:48
pleasure when me a lot of copy and so it
16:51
was really long time and the other thing
16:53
wasn’t oh hell to kill him we did not
16:57
have any water to take a bath for two
16:59
weeks and finally we got some somebody
17:03
they have they cut warum it could lose
17:05
it and then a good part about that those
17:08
one who is in in a lower middle of one
17:11
of my career there below so one of my
17:16
messenger says sergeant says I know what
17:19
we can get some get take a bet I said
17:21
well says that they kept it the current
17:24
car area do not turn on whether you have
17:28
a smuggled diesel and that’s much more
17:31
like a gasoline engine that they start
17:33
this pumped up cold water for now the
17:39
ground here into the one of the huge
17:42
areas where you can take a bet and I
17:44
never had a hot bed so then there is
17:48
that right there and it was it was me
17:50
is something but anyway they went before
17:53
they could do that they’re meant to
17:55
mention me that they don’t have any in a
17:58
gasoline to run their daily estar de
18:00
Lille engine you know to pump the water
18:02
rushes tell them take that five gallon
18:05
can of that Jeep dear put it in that
18:08

18:13
bad nearest in a beautiful warm water
18:17

25:08
time only when Oh about five or six
25:14
years ago six years ago yeah how was it
25:18
well it was okay I look at it I was very
25:20
surprised to see how they had developed
25:23
the country the currents are really
25:26
really smart people in developing one
25:29
thing I really like about them what they
25:32
did was in the middle of Korean up they
25:35
built a huge highway I said what do you
25:38
need a highway this big this is in case
25:41
of emergency we stop everything and
25:43
that’s the landing field for you people
25:45
to come and help us yeah I said okay
25:48
goodness that’s really something
25:50
emergency run yeah yeah because it’s
25:52
still there yet oh yeah listen I’ve seen
25:56
that thing being built all the time and
25:58
they had the trains are you to come up
26:00
and take the bring us food they’re back
26:01
in porter there’s more you didn’t know
26:05
anything about Korea before and then
26:07
went to there to fight what do you think
26:09
why do you think it happened to you I
26:12
don’t know if they just made they just
26:14
wanted somebody they were only because
26:16
the debris the division and it was just
26:18
a scene in purple every idea under under
26:22
strength they need to move people so
26:24
they called on Japan in Japan was was
26:27
call it was good wasn’t going to call us
26:29
for now I was a fact that 25th would
26:31
just went here but the 25th moved out so
26:33
I with Wendy and we hit the we had to be
26:36
one of those good otherwise would have
26:38
been killed in that world can you keep
26:40
and push on so are you proud that you
26:42
fight for the Korean War yes
26:44
pretty broad I like the people there
26:46
they did a very nice jump of recovering
26:49
yes and I was really surprised that
26:52
where the people were dressed to let me
26:55
tell you something about that their
26:58
hearts that they build up well bury your
27:00
engineering yeah this has all been a lot
27:04
of strong and they provide all solid
27:06
floors long time and I couldn’t figure
27:09
out how do they keep warm in a house
27:11
like this so on day when we walked
27:13
outside and we were moving now we’ve
27:16
seen this guy let in this fire outside
27:18
US side of the mouth there and that’s
27:21
what it is they would like to stop
27:22
outside the booth boy and the hot-smoked
27:25
run through the bottom of the blow and
27:26
keep the wall inside warm because I got
27:29
up they have straws on top click on
27:32
dundee stay one more night long I said
27:34
oh that’s really smart how you guys can
27:36
do that but that’s the way they did it
27:38
they really know how to survive in that
27:40
cold water it was really support in my
27:43
last trip that had the first trip that I
27:44
went back there we went to almost also
27:48
almost long all Korea will travel back
27:51
and forth all we have to dirty it
27:53
parallel and seen it that at that time I
27:56
think awesome what I was the mother
27:58
second or third group that went up there
28:00
and I couldn’t figure out why they had
28:03
the 38th parallel and we puck and had
28:05
all these three homes here and he says
28:08
he got to be careful when you go inside
28:10
you do not cross this area there you
28:12
still one sad at the tables and they
28:14
stay on the outside tables as Wow
28:16
terrific then we have a big area with
28:20
the few people so you can see across the
28:22
huge flag and abuser tower playing
28:25
musical old in there all the time it’s
28:28
really something what do you think about
28:31
the us-korea relationship this sort of
28:34
following our steps here with the United
28:36
States you know trying to improve and
28:39
everything we do they try to improve
28:41
more and more I hope that their their
28:44
president now the woman present they
28:46
have is doing a good job and don’t go
28:49
overboard because of North Korea North
28:52
Korea’s really giving a lot of pushes
28:55
back in party
28:56
because that’s a young no president
29:01
judging know too much about what’s going
29:03
on yeah and His infinite dangerous but
29:05
couldn’t Japan on one side too because
29:07
Japan was very very aggressive and
29:10
waiting on the time of wars you know
29:12
Japan had been all of which Korea and
29:15
all over China and all those areas so
29:17
some other people end up there and in
29:20
the Philippines watching the filters
29:22
come on Nick at the beginning they kind
29:26
of or you’re not too too familiar with
29:29
Japan they got over it though yeah good
29:31
you pan if you tell any other message
29:33
you want to live to this interview no I
29:36
think that we should be very careful
29:39
well they’re not to start another war we
29:41
know Nick we can’t afford another wall
29:43
because we have too many people here now
29:45
that young people rather because we’ve
29:48
been utilizing all of our elderly people
29:50
that were able to go to a code was and
29:53
our Air Force organization is very up to
29:57
date but not as much and we have a lot
30:01
of weapons of course boat but the United
30:04
States should be real careful about what
30:06
they’re doing and what they do because
30:08
that I’m sure they can negotiate dip
30:10
different problems with talk with the
30:13
other people who might start to walk
30:15
yeah but if we do in snow we’re out of
30:19
it we can do it you can do it but stay
30:22
away from becoming the mole people thank
30:26
you so much again Daniel for your fight
30:29
for the Korean nation without your fight
30:31

30:33
would like to thank you on behalf of
30:36
Korean nation and thank you very much to
30:38
