Although it has been many years since my service in the Military and it was for only two years, it was an important period of my life. I learned a lot in those two years that has helped me throughout my life. In the effort to write this book it has taken me back in time, reviving memories of old friends and things that have happened. I have tried to write of things I consider important. I have been fortunate to have lived long enough to become a old man. I know it was just by the luck of the draw that I was put where I was. I never volunteered for anything, nor did I try to get out of any order given to me. I am well aware I could have been put in the infantry instead of the artillery, where I did my time in the intelligence section. Most of the time a soldier happens to serve in duties he has no control over. This book has been written as much for my family and friends as for the general public. I hope all who takes the time to read what I have written will gain knowledge regarding the Korean War, and also my story is just one of the thousands of stories of young men who served their country at this time. For us the veterans, and our families IT WILL NEVER BECOME THE "FORGOTTEN WAR". REMEMBER THIS, FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
