Hi

I believe some ask about the the names of the four soldiers killed on the DMZ in Korea 1969, they all had bulletts hole in the headthey were ambushed by the north korans, here are the names.

1. S.Sgt James r. Grissinger

2. Spec/4 Charles E. Taylor

3. Spec/4 Jack L. Morris

4. PFC William E. Morris

I was with the CAv at the time we were sent to the Z. there was a firefight with four north korean , but nobody was killed, they made it back to the north. we stayed on the Z for fourteen days, patrolling the American sector of the Z

Hope the name help.

Just curious: What Cav, in 1969?? The 1st Cav colors were reassigned to Ft Benning, GA, on 7/1/65 and the 2nd Division colors reassigned to Korea. The 1st Cav departed GA, shipping from Savannah, enroute to Viet Nam and arriving in VN in September, 1965, and remained there until 1971, when the final brigade returned to CONUS.

I think this vet means the 2nd ID-in Korea ????

The 2nd ID -many units in their infantry divisions- Brigades 1,2,3,4

and also many in support =Field Atillery, Singal and engineers- etc-

were exposed to AO along the northside of the civilian control line of the DMZ-southedge- from April to Aug 1968 and May to July of 1969.

VA has awarded AO comp to some of those veterans.

I recently met a lawyer representing vets who was unaware of these regs-

Also 7th ID ,3rd brigade , some Mechanized and some armor-

and by now maybe even more units-I will check-
