A Vet Remembers......Jim's Korean War Page

Thirteenth Air Force "Freedom is Not Free."
This page is dedicated to the memory
of those men and women who gave their lives.

I was in Hawaii, shipping out to Clark A.F.B., PI in June 1950, when President Truman ordered troops into Korea. I had a year in Waco under my belt and was ready for a new assignment. When we arrived at Clark, we were assigned to Casual Squadron, for training.......the following are photographs of the some of the people and places I encountered during my tour in Korea. The quality may not be good as I would like, but I wanted to share what I have in remembrance of the Fiftieth Anniversary. Please pardon the time it takes to load this page.
