5:19
went through basic training at Parris
5:22
Island South Carolina marine corps base
5:26
after the two basic training I had a
5:32
about a month and a half in reserve in
5:36
Parris Island and then they
5:39
they threw a whole group of us about 20
5:43
or 30 planes from that area to san diego
5:47
california now our plane and engine
5:53
trouble we were down in every state
5:55
getting a plan worked out and we got
5:59
there 24 hours after the rest of them
6:02
the rest of them had already been
6:04
shipped off to Ted Cape one for infantry
6:08
training there was enough in that group
6:10
to make a whole company okay and so I we
6:17
waited there another couple weeks and to
6:20
another group came in enough to make
6:22
another company and it shipped us off
6:24
the tent came to now we had one month of
6:28
infantry training and one day the first
6:32
sergeant came up and he says all you
6:34
guys packed their gear he said to get in
6:38
formation you’re going to go to Cape
6:41
Delmore for supporting arms well I had
6:46
my choice between tanks and Amtrak’s and
6:49
artillery and I didn’t want to be closed
6:53
up in a tank I didn’t know what Amtrak
6:55
was so I took artillery we were shipped
6:59
over to Korea on the ship called the
7:02
general john pope and we landed in
7:07
Incheon about i’m going to say last week
7:12
or so of april nineteen fifty two youth
7:18
told me that you will follow a love
7:20
what’s going wrong in korean peninsula
7:22
yes and you knew that it was war yes why
7:28
did you enlist because I wanted to why
7:31
because men might hurt all my brother’s
7:34
war stories and I got anxious so I went
7:39
I want it to be there I wanted to be
7:41
there you could lose your life I know
7:46
wow that’s what my dad told me uh-huh so
7:49
what I did is I made it my mind one
7:53
night I was going to join the Marine
7:55
Corps and I had a brother who’s year and
7:59
a half over me I didn’t say anything to
8:02
him till we get to the breakfast table
8:04
or my dad or anybody we get to the
8:06
breakfast table and what did was sit at
8:09
the end the table my brother said on his
8:12
left side and I said on his right and we
8:16
just started thee and I said dead can I
8:19
join the Marine Corps if he said no I
8:22
want to join but he said and I told me
8:26
you almost fell off his chair it came
8:29
back up and he says yes when do you want
8:32
to go I says I want to go down today and
8:35
see about it and so that’s that’s what I
8:39
did but my brother and I owned a car and
8:44
we still owed my uncle some money on it
8:46
well you got a car what are you going to
8:48
do with it I so I’m giving my half what
8:51
the money I’ve had in it and he can
8:53
finish paid it off and then he started
8:57
his scare tactics you know you’re going
8:59
to end up in Korea I said that’s where I
9:01
want to go you might get killed I says I
9:05
don’t think so course everybody don’t
9:07
think so you do well and so that’s when
9:12
I joined the Marine Corps and went in
9:13
and when I got the Korea they were
9:16
holding the parallel uh-huh we weren’t
9:19
allowed to go and try to make another
9:22
push all the way back to the LA River
9:24
they were working on the peace talks and
9:27
that was it was a stalemate real right
9:30
now and so but what would happen at
9:34
night the outfits would get attacked by
9:37
by the North Koreans they did mo start
9:40
acting at night and they would come in
9:43
and such groups of people you know so
9:47
many and we would lay down a line of
9:50
fire in front of the infantry I
9:52
cirencester ice and to keep them off em
9:55
we succeed in desert except of course
9:58
some always gives her so from the
10:02
landing at Inchon what where did you go
10:06
and put me on the train and I went to
10:09
the end of the rail head which was moon
10:12
sunny he wins on me and then you put us
10:15
on trucks took us to regiment got to
10:18
regiment then they we got off and it’s
10:21
the total switch outfits was going to
10:25
put his own of trucks and took him to
10:27
her outfits well first off from the day
10:30
I got in my outfit which was some very
10:33
letter late part of April to the day I
10:36
left my outfit we never stopped firing I
10:39
don’t mean it was continuously bang bang
10:42
meant but we had we were firing old all
10:45
the time and day and night and it just
10:51
we just never let up so he was more like
10:54
a war of artillery yeah well you see
10:58
they say there was more artillery fired
11:02
in Korea it wasn’t World War One World
11:06
War to you and Vietnam
11:07
together now they that’s a story we’ve
11:10
been told now what it’s true or not I
11:12
don’t know do you still have a good
11:14
hearing fairly good yes my goodness
11:17
selective hearing oh he has selective
11:19
I’ve had no problem g review wow that’s
11:22
amazing oh you will you both be almost
11:25
every day oh yeah one guy lost his urine
11:30
over there uh-huh yeah now the what we
11:34
would do because there’s always one guy
11:37
is getting information so he has the
11:39
earphones up of course that protects his
11:41
ears but when we got ready to fire we’d
11:44
turn our head and cover this here and
11:46
the medicine wouldn’t be covered that’s
11:48
what we do and it worked out fine for
11:52
most of us so you were there until when
11:58
till probably the first or second week
12:04
of May 5th in the tenth of May I’m
12:07
thinking about I had a year in 17 days
12:10
there I can’t give you the exact day I
12:12
got there and can’t do the exact day
12:15
that I left mm-hmm so you left right
12:20
before the armistice yes what was like
12:23
before you right before you depart from
12:26
Korea what was like in the front line
12:29
all right now are you get to realize
12:32
artillery is not up with the infant I
12:35
know okay okay but now just the day that
12:39
I left are my outfit they had put part
12:44
of the 1st Marine Division in reserve
12:46
mm-hmm and our health it was one of them
12:49
and we were pulled back behind the MGM
12:51
river and so we had we and even started
12:55
firing back there when we got the word
12:58
that the I was in the 20th raft the 20th
13:02
RAF all the guys took up her stuff and
13:04
pack up and get ready to go and we left
13:07
that day was feeling like you are ready
13:11
to leave were you scared there was times
13:17
yes yes but for the most part I see what
13:22
we never we never got hit by the
13:27
infantry we weren’t like some of the
13:31
other outfits that got over am because
13:34
we had Marines in fun ups mm-hmm and the
13:39
marine stand my ground they may push him
13:41
back some but they’ll take it back yeah
13:44
what was leaving condition at the time
13:47
living condition was fine for us mm-hmm
13:51
now where did you sleep in the tent I
13:53
had a chance so in a tent did you have
13:56
heat yes no air conditioning no work no
14:01
air conditioner and it got extremely
14:05
cold in the wintertime and we get
14:08
worried it was 27 a half below zero when
14:12
I was there it never felt like it
14:14
because we’re in this gun pit when the
14:18
gun pit has a male the dirt around it
14:20
maybe six seven feet high put sandbags
14:25
on the inside and then we had a bunker
14:28
on that thing that we could get in and
14:30
her king was right next to it so I mean
14:33
to us if it wasn’t we weren’t out like
14:37
the infantry laying out there in that
14:39
Cobra all the time I was amazed that was
14:43
really amazed and when we did when I
14:47
left Korea there was one bridge over the
14:50
Han River and it was half blown
14:53
I went back I think now there’s
14:56
something like 22 is it that many I
14:59
going even counted yeah I think I think
15:03
it’s something like 22 race always bump
15:05
put the bumper and yes and the roads are
15:08
elevated yeah no they were just starting
15:13
the high-rises but the second time we
15:16
went back in 2003 they were even put I
15:22
rises above so up to work damage on yeah
15:25
too many high-rises there that’s the
15:28
problem at all it’s up one of the 10
15:31
biggest metropolitan city in the world
15:33
yes I know something I want to tell you
15:38
we had been back and Seoul Korea 97 and
15:45
but then then the Federation of Korean
15:49
embassies camping businesses came over
15:52
here and they donated two hundred and
15:55
fifty thousand dollars the dependence of
15:58
the military at the Pentagon another
16:01
250,000 to the dependence and military
16:04
from trade centers they wanted an honor
16:07
guard so they could lay a wreath at the
16:10
korean war memorial when we went back in
16:13
97 we went to Penn than John and we had
16:19
to wait to be to go and be briefed and
16:22
we were on the bus and he several of
16:24
them goes off and where the servicemen
16:27
the hill and they asked him what he did
16:31
for recreation and he ran down to the
16:33
dog down to this bridge of no return and
16:37
then he ran up the hill to hell 229 I
16:42
said that’s Hill 229 he said yes I said
16:47
I fired for that thing when I was here
16:49
he they had no idea where they were when
16:51
they were born that’s where he knew he
16:53
was fired for that yellow is covered
16:56
with trees yes that was bold at the time
17:00
oh yes I never said never got any I
17:03
never got to go up to see it I’d only
17:05
knew that we fired it and everything
17:07
else would ball up so I reckon it was
17:09
both would you share the most difficult
17:12
moment in your service during their
17:14
service most liberal yet yeah I don’t
17:18
know is i can say i really had a real
17:21
real difficult one but i’ll tell you
17:24
I’ll tell you the one where I was a
17:27
scared us mm-hmm what we had this
17:30
captain he was the best captain we had
17:33
he wanted to get our guns in position
17:36
where we could do more damage to the
17:39
enemy so along the em Jim River in what
17:44
area there’s no infantry and it was if
17:48
the gym gym is patrolled by the amtracs
17:53
and there’s a artillery base I mean
17:58
artillery position next to the amtracs
18:02
and that’s what controlled that part but
18:05
there was one area that you could get to
18:08
and get closer to the enemy and fire so
18:12
he got permission they said well we’ll
18:15
give you permission but you’re
18:17
responsible for everything that happens
18:19
well going to that position intimate
18:24
could see us oh and of course there they
18:28
had deposition 0d and all the time and
18:31
we fired one or two rounds for
18:35
on target or something my gosh so she’ll
18:38
started coming in so fast and it’s what
18:43
they won’t watching you all day kids dig
18:45
they knew where we were in they already
18:47
had his he wrote in and the show started
18:52
coming in so fast one came right over
18:56
and one of my gun and blew a big hole in
19:00
the dirt in front of the gun now there
19:04
was a bank around the gun the hole in
19:06
there and the next one took our a
19:08
mistakes out well I was standing on the
19:11
gun with the earphones and I said rocky
19:14
I get it I got to get out of here
19:16
everybody else got out so I run over and
19:20
jumped in this little bit of a low place
19:22
gosh almighty was full of guys already
19:25
and the captain was on top of them Oh
19:29
and so I said this isn’t going to work
19:32
so I ran around and jumped in a foxhole
19:34
right close to her that she yelled
19:36
landed and I got the feeling I’m not
19:39
gonna see home anymore but the way it
19:42
was they fired and they kept their
19:46
shells just get blown father and father
19:48
and so we packed up and got out of there
19:52
and nobody got hurt Wow nobody nobody
19:56
got hurt but now the young one of the
20:03
one of the most rewarding experiences I
20:06
had her outfit had but it was my second
20:10
question oh ok ok good we had they would
20:16
send some guys that had made corporal
20:18
sergeant or something back to the rear
20:21
for NCO training so they can learn how
20:24
to handle troops and all this you know
20:26
and this one felt on our gun went back
20:29
and when he came back he said boy way I
20:35
this is what he’s I met a guy back there
20:38
who was a sergeant in the infantry and
20:40
he says I love you guys you wanted a
20:43
silver start for me he’s what he in the
20:47
Silver Star is a third larger 30 at the
20:49
biggest metal is what are you talking
20:51
about that we were out on patrol and we
20:55
got in a bad position any was all around
21:00
us and everybody but him got wounded and
21:04
i don’t mean never they were had to be
21:08
drugged out or anything like that but
21:09
they got one to one way or another but
21:12
they managed to get into a bunker or
21:14
some place where they had cover so they
21:18
called in what they call a box be in
21:20
mission that’s where if you got three
21:23
batteries fire two of them fire on the
21:26
ground and it fucks that over in so they
21:29
can’t get to him the third battery fires
21:32
his Victor tear shells it has a fuse on
21:39
it it’s radioactive it explodes in the
21:41
air oh so it just rained it all down on
21:44
them and finally they gave up and left
21:47
this guy got them all back and you got
21:50
silver storm that was one of the
21:52
mushroom to hear something that goes so
21:56
many times you never hear from the guys
21:58
up front about anything good about
22:01
that’s what I figured that’s what I
22:03
figured that the infantry and Marines in
22:06
the front light they needed you right
22:09
yes desperately yes yeah no I went to
22:13
reunion we went we brought in Branson
22:16
Missouri and a lot of the lot of the
22:19
young and reunions were held out there
22:23
there was a whole group of Marines there
22:26
and I went up to see him and I had my
22:30
mirena and by my 11th regiment had on
22:34
which they knew was artillery this one
22:37
God sends you something right up in
22:39
Louie’s arms around I
22:41
you guys you saved my tail more than one
22:44
nothing you darn Rascals you fired short
22:47
rounds if I came back well like she said
22:56
45 years later we never dated I have
23:00
tried getting back until 45 years later
23:02
and so I they did a few girls and
23:10
there’s a girl that lived it down right
23:13
at the edge of Oliver city that I had
23:15
met several times that before it would
23:18
went over to Korea and well known I knew
23:22
her seeing him talk to her sometime even
23:25
from the 10th grade up and so I was
23:28
taking her and then she left the area
23:34
and so she was but time i got a service
23:38
she was married and so I I get out in a
23:45
sep tember of 54 I met my first wife New
23:51
Year’s Day 1955 why was he so on popular
23:56
well now see Truman was president and he
24:01
did not want to Claire declare war
24:03
because it might start World War three
24:06
but Truman made the statement as soon as
24:09
he heard he said in Truman wasn’t a very
24:13
resourceful banner with his words he
24:15
with the note he said damn if the
24:18
comments is going to take over the world
24:20
so he sent me he said troops are his
24:24
face as he could get him there and he
24:27
said that was the biggest mistake he
24:30
made in his presidency was as cutting
24:33
down the military so bad right after
24:37
World War two exactly that was the
24:39
pyridyl tmobile idea it was demobilized
24:43
yeah yeah and but we managed to hold out
24:50
until they got enough troops over there
24:52
and we did a pretty good job and I’m
24:56
just tell you i can’t say how much
25:01
praise I can say about South Korea and
25:04
the way they have treated the Korean War
25:07
veterans and now Oh Memorial Day this
25:11

25:15

25:53
called The Forgotten War yeah but i’d
25:59
like to tell you about one more
26:02
experience with the firing I mean we had
26:05
it all the time this this is one of the
26:09
biggest memories that me being in Korea
26:12
we always had a certain coordinates that
26:17
we put on the gun everybody on every gun
26:20
knew what that coordinates was we do it
26:23
a day and we did we would zero in on the
26:26
target where we thought the enemy was
26:28
going to cum the hardest uh-huh well one
26:33
happened all they had to say is fire
26:36
normal garage that is just let the
26:40
shells go at your own will and they
26:43
called it and I don’t know how long we
26:46
fired it it was like 30 or 40 minutes or
26:50
something like yet maybe 20 I don’t know
26:52
but we fired as fast as we could and
26:57
that barrels on the guns got red-hot the
27:02
ricoh old bird up we had to replace it
27:05
well the guy came around goods are
27:08
always at maintenance man came around to
27:11
our guy and he says now make you fire
27:15
this round he says I handed me the tube
27:20
he says I will unscrew the nut you shoot
27:25
that he never put to ask Rebecca we did
27:29
it so quickly missed only one room and
27:31
the barrels on the guns got red-hot we
27:35
poured water down to cool off and when
27:38
they finally called a ceasefire they
27:42
wanted to count on the Holy am of that
27:44
we had now we were told all through
27:47
training and by every that the maximum
27:49
rate of fire you could put through a 105
27:51
was four rounds a minute full wrongs
