You can also contact the Korean War Veterans Association
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.kwva.org/">http://www.kwva.org/</a>) to send out message to locate any veteran who
may have known your grandfather. It'll be useful to provide his
unit, as specific as possible (regiment, battalion, company), and
dates of his service in the Marines as well as in Korea. Also, the
Purple Heart Association could be of help
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.purpleheart.org/">http://www.purpleheart.org/</a>).<br>

<div dir="ltr">I was wondering if there was some way I
could get specific information about my father's
