[KS] Info about Father's service in Korean War

[Jiyul Kim]

You can also contact the Korean War Veterans Association 
(http://www.kwva.org/) 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 (http://www.purpleheart.org/).

Jiyul Kim
Colonel, US Army (retired)
