24th Infantry Division Association
Thank you,thank you、 'eFy nluChe
I appreciate the opportunity to represent the 24n IDA. It is a greal honor to be President of this
Association, and a privilege to serve another year. Thank you for your trust. I will do my best.
'l'hcsc are thc membcrs who keep this Association alive
Thanks to our Everyday Voluntcers.
and well. We are growing stronger. Wc havc rnany new rnernbers; Frances Wittman recruited
several of them. Frances took Quartermaster mail call and phone messages while Harry was in
the hospital and sent membership information along with each order. Harry is proud of her, and
so are wel
To Joe Sweeney, our Historian, Wallace Kukner, Membership Chairman, Wes Morrison,
Reunion Coordinator, Norman Treadway, Webmaster, and our Chaplain, Glen Carpenter,I
want to say that the volunteer time you give to the Association is what keeps us going strong. It
takes all of us working together to keep the Association running smoothly. To Dutch: Your
determination and dedication to this Association is an inspiration to all of us.
Special volunteers like Johnny Rodriguez, who was on-site Chairman for tlre KC Reunion and
to Norm Dixon who has accepted responsibility for the Tucson 2003 reunion are invaluable.
Howard Bruno has volunteered to help Norm in 2003.
A few of the volunteers who stepped in to help Johnny are, Dot and Don Lloyd, Dot said that
registration was made easier by John 'l'rinka keeping the line in order while Dot took the
information. Thanks also to Frank and Narcy Geraci, Lee and Wilma Dennis, Francis Heller,
Rodney Stock, Helen Greenwalt, Dot Finney, Beverly Rickert, Shirley Morrison, who helped
Bob and jean Lawhon at the Quartermaster table. There were many others helping, we missed
getting all the names. Our thanks go to each of you. You are all appreciated. This great
Association is Volunteer driven. There Ne no paid positions. A reunion takes a lot of work to
set it up and keep it going every year. Remember to say "Thanks" to a volunteer when you pass
them in the hallways.
A few members have questioned office expenses of our Association, saying that they are too
higlr. If you have questions, the place to bring them for answers is to the membership meeting
or to one of the Executive Officers. Hallway discussions cause misunderstandings. Come to
the meeting and sound offi That is good for the Association. All members need to keep
informed; members who are officers need to supply answers. We try to make your fifteen
dollars go a long way. We are open to suggestions.
I will announce the Nornination Cornmittee in the next Taro leaf. If you wish to be a part of it,
let me know. Also be thinking about who you would like to represent you in the elected offices
next year. It should be someone who comes to the reunions.
Dutch will provide comments for the Artillery Units and Don Lloyd will send information for
the 3'd Engineers. Who will write for the resl of the Regiments, Battalions and Company's? Is
there a volunteer?
Happy Holidays

Ephesians
2:21 In him the whole building
is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
Wow, what a weekend. It was so nice to se€ old friends and to meet new ones. After everlthing got going it all came
together. As the verse say's, we are all one. That is what it takes to make everyttring run smoottr. Thanks to eve$body
wio helped. We are or. fu*ily and need to treat each other with love and respect. t felt such a pride for the 24'h and
myself to be able to give the memorial service. I thought about those who went before us, and those soldiers who u'ill
go after us. It was a blessing to see so many people out to the memorial supper. Thank 1'ou.
In Christ
Chaplain Glen Carpenter
The Price of Libefty
The price of liberq'. as quoted. is eternal vigilance. It is more: it is universal vigilance. Nobody' can be free unless everytody is
free.
Which point I wish to sharpen and hammer in.
The trouble rvith most people's notion about liberq'is that it is too individual.
When each person does as he pleases. has no larv but his own rvill. there results such a clash and confusion that in the end tlte onll
one rvho gets any liberty is the strongest. [n carrfing out his rvill he reduces the others to slaverl.
The only possible way for many to get librty is for them to unite so as to compel the substitution ofjustice and the general good
for the u'ill of the strongest.
This esplains why the rvhole world became involr,ed in a uar rvith German1,. It was because German libert-v rneans libertr for
nobodv else--Belgium. for instance.
It is also the reason why the United States uent into the war. Some Simpleminded ones asked why rve orer here could not go along
minding our own business and keep out of the European imbroglio. The ansrver is that there uould not b€ libeq'in this count4 r'er.r
long if there were libeny* nowhere else n the world.
German policy had already begun to cause the sinking of our unarmed ships upon the high seas.
It also explains conscription. why the congress was justified in requiring every male betleen the ages of twen{'-one and thiq'-one
to take up,ums.
At first blush this seems a wanton. albitrary interference uith indilidual rights. compelling by force even ultra-pacifists and
German qympathizers and anarchists to be soldiers when they thought soldiering in this instance or soldiering in general to be l'rong.
But little reflection will convince one that if there's to be freedom for all eleryone must cooperate to secure it.
This also shows why democracy can be successfirl only when elery individual in it discharges his public duties.
Any group of non-voting persons in a democracy is a menace.
All women should have full civic rights, because women being disfranchised accept the protection 1et avoid the responsibilities of
government. Women should vote. not because some wanl to. but because all ought to.
Slavery is a danger to any nation. because it makes a politically non-active group of inhabitants.
Any group or class, for whatever reason. that does not participate in public responsibilities is dangerous---including slaves. \r'omen.
the idle rich, the highbrow who despised politics, and the anarchists who don't believe in government.
*safe
And the same principal holds true of the world. The world rvill never be
for democrac-v" until the last autocratic governrnent
is removed.
Libertv is a boat we are all in. A leak anyu'here will sink it.

and membership numbers as of this day (21Nov 02) I think it is of
more interest to the membership to show what was reported to the men at the annual Business
Session at the Kansas City reunion. Those attending got to see my Annual Report, so you should
also. The next two pages are copies of the report I handed out -- each Member got a copy.
Following my Annual Report are the Minutes of the Business Session.
1. Rather than report financial
2.
The abo're, notwithstanding, our status today is 2,883 Members and $37,882.08 in the
Checking Account and a CD worth $58,617.03 if it were cashed today. This is the best financial
condition our Association has ever been u1, and a steady increase in member numbers -- at least I
think so. I'he Association files and records from various sources, such at Kenwood Ross's office,
have been,;hipped to me -- 36 boxes so far. With Margo's help I have been plodding through
them weeding out duplications, etc, and systematically filing the rest. None of the records I have
examined so far show anything like the $96,499.11 that we have now.
We have had larger member numbers, but many of these were invalid -- long since deceased, had
not paid dues in nmny years, etc. With the help of Wally Kuhner and Dick Hubbard our
membership is now made up of valid, paying members. Dick Hubbard has sent out 933
rfombership renewal notices, and this has really, but REALLY, paid dividends. I am going to try
to get him to run for Sec/Tres, but don't say anything because I haven't talkcd to him about it.
3. There were no questions from the floor regarding my Annual Report, but I did get wind that
there was some "grousing in the halls" about the amounts spent for'?ostage" and "Executive
Expenses." Bear in mind that we are not running a Boy Scout Troop here -- we have 2,883 guys,
widows and family members to take care of. There are membership cards to be sent, letters to be
answered, phone calls to be made. It cost $297 .66 in postage just to send Taro Leafs to the new
members this year. The "Executive Expenses" go to about 15 or so members who seem to do all
the work in this outfit. In addition to long distance phone calls and postage, there are also trips to
ship launching and ceremonies in Washington. If you can do better for less money step forward,
we need you. There is an old adage: "If you ain't port of the solution, you are probobly part of
the
problem."
4. Very
good news -- our Quartermaster Harry Wittman (also known as "Harr;/ The Gimlet") is
out of the hospital and home again. In spite of losing a foot he was still able to send in $3000.00
profit from the QM operation, and remain our number one recruiter -- even signed up men while
he was flat on his back in the hospital. Also, our sincere thanks to the Lawhons for filling in at the
reunion.
5.
"A Page For Red Legs " this issue is a copy of sheet music of The Artillery Song I had given
to me by a "Cannon Cocker" friend. Inside it is dated "1937" although the song is older than that.
(Note the Cannoneers riding the limber & piece, and the men on the "near side.")

ldsh bom U.S. SoldlorB
By Joe Sweerey
Brirn McGinn, a Vi€ham Vaeran, who is involved in a project to id€ntify and honor thoae men bom in
Ireland and who were killed in Kaea while saving with U.S. Forces, contacted me r€cently conceming Pfc
Prtrlch McEncry. Prtrick McEnetT was killed in action on November 13, 1951, and his body has not been
recoverod. This is his story as aken from the County Limerick weekly, The Linerick lzder, and fiom records of
lhc
19&
Infrntry Regimenl
Bom in I 927, Patrick was the sm of Con and Bridget McEnery of Ttraree, Glin, keland. He had two
trothers and two sisters. Work was scarce in Ireland wh€n Patrick grew up so when the U.S. immigration laws
were relaxed in the late 1940's he decided to emigrate to the U.S. An aunt, Bridie Sullivan, called him to Chicago
in Jsnuary 1949 wlrere he went to work for a milk bottling company. P.trick was drafted in early l95l and aftc
bosic rraining was ord€red to Korea wh€re hejoined Company l, 196 Infantry Regiment, 24' Infanry Division qr
Ocfober 2?, I 95 I . Sixteen days later Pfc- Patrick McEnery was KIA in North Korea at the age of 24.
Pfc. McEnery's family did not know that he had b€en shipped to Korea, so it was a t€rrible shock to
receive the news ofhis death in December 1951. He was awarded the Purple Heart posthurnously, and Pltsident
Htrty S Trum.rn sent the family a letter of sympathy and a certificate in hqror of Pfc. Patrick McEnery; the
citation reads: I/e stands in the line ofpdriols wlo have dared to die thd freedom might live otd grow and ircrease
ils Dlessings. Freedom lives, and through it he lives- in a way tha hmbles the undertakings of most men
During the month of October l95l the MLR (main line of resistance) had moved l0 miles north as a result
h€avy
fighting spearheaded by the lth Infuntsy Regiment. During the first part ofNovember Eighth Army
ofthe
engrged in srengthening positions and carrying out slrong combat Patsols to keeP the enemy offbalance. On
Noveinber l3 ore 196 lnfanfy planned a pasol to an objective located about seven miles east of Kumsong, NK; its
purpGe, to capture prison€f,s and destroy enany positions. Two platoons ofcompany I infinE-y and a company of
tanks world conduct the pafol. One platoon served as the assault platoon and the other was used for sup,port, and to
proteci th€ tanks. The support platoon remained with the tanks throughout the ensuing actim. The assault platoon
depaned at 0730 hls. and engaged the aremy at I 145. An estimated two squads of arerny were deployed on the
objective and resisted with hand granades, small armq automatic weapons and heavy guns. At 1300 hrs. the platoon
fiorn ltern Co. forced the enerny to abandon their positions and the objective was secured. The patrol rernained on
the objedive and came under heavy automatic weapon fire from the north and east from aremy in well concealed
hmkers Then 82-mm mortar fire was placed on the friendly patrol, and artill€ry and mortar fire placed m the tanks
and support platoon. This resulted in the assault platoon being pinned down and about 15 casualties. At 1730 hrs.
lhe assault platoon with&ew under very heavy fire, and the enany reoccupied the position$ Two bodies were left at
the base ofthe objective during the withdrawal because ofthe heavy barrage ofenemy fire. One body is believed to
have be€'l that ofPfc. Patrick McEnery. After breaking contact the patol returned to fteir base, closing there at
1930
hrs
During the night the enemy utilized the two Mies to set up an attempted ambush of friendly forces. They
moved the bodies to a locatim where they could be easily seen and placed than in a serni-sitting positian. Their
ambush hiled because the fust attempt by iiendly patsols to recover the Mies occurred soon after dark on
Novernber 14. The enemy was still preparing positions when the patsol arrived. Friendly elements were forc€d to
withdraw after an intense firefight that the enemy supported with heavy mortar fire. Three attemPts were made to
reoover the bodies, but only one patrol was able to readl the location ofa body and recover it. The recovered body
\}rs not that of Pfc. Prtrhk McEnery.
Land gained in the actims ofoctober-Novernber 1951 rehrmed to North Korean control when the truce
as a result Pstrick McEnery's remains have not been recovered.
vas signed on July 27,1953;
We hope that someone ofour readers will remernber Petrick McEnery, c the actions ofNov.l3, l95l and
get in touch with me so that I can pass the information to Brian McGinn and McEnery's relatives in heland.
Stephen Mrrphy writingin The Limerick l*ader, May 18, 2002, states that 28 lrish-bom soldiers died
while serving with U.S. Forces in Kore& four are listed as MIA. Two bills before the Congress and Senate have
widespread support and are expected to pass; they will hmor among others, all 28 Iri*rmen and make them eligible
for postrumous U.S. citizenship. "This they deserve!'

Subject:
Lee MaMn
Some have been a bit offended that Lee Marvin is buried in a grave area of and 4 star generals at Arlington. His
nnrker gives his name, rank (PV[ and seruice (USMC). Nothing else. Her6's a guy who was only a famous
rnovie star who seNed his time, why the heck does he rate burial with these guys?
Well, following is the amazing answer:
I always liked Lee Marvin, but did not know the extent of his Corps experiences. ln a time when -many Hollywood
stars served their country in the armed forces, ofren in rear-echelon posts where they wore carefully prot€cted,
only to be trotted out to perform for the cameras in war bond promolions, Lee Malvin was a genuine hero. He won
the Navy Cross at lwo Jima.
There is only one higher award...the Medal Of Honor. lfthatisa surprising comment on the true character oflhe
man, he credits his sergeant with an even greater show of bravery.
Dialog From TheTonight Show Wth Johnny Carson. His guest was Lee Maryin'
Johnny said, ',Lee, t'll bet a lot of people are unaware that you were a Marine in the initial landing at lwo Jima ...
and that during the course of thaiac{ion you earned the Navy Cross and were severely wounded."
And you know how Lee was ...
,yeah, yeah ... I got shot square in the ass and they gave me the cross for securing a hot spot about hainavay up
SuriOacii ... UaOlhing about getting shot up on a mountain is guys gettin'shot hauling you down' But Johnny' at
lwo I served under thi Uravest mai t ever knew ... We both got the Cross the same day but what he did for his
cross made nine look cheap in comparison.
The dumb bastard actually stood up on Red beach and directed his troops
the beach. That Sergeant and I have been lifelong friends.
to
move forward and get the hell ofi
"\l\rhen they brought me off Suribachi we passed the Sergeant.and he lit a smoke an9 msseO it_to me lying on rry
Lee?'... 'Well Bob ....if you make it home before rn€, tell Mom to sell ths
n-ttliL.;wtrere'o trey get you

-sergeant
Keeshan was the bravest man I ever knew ... Bob Keeshan

The title of the book
is: Sleeping Dragon
Brief intro of the book lt is nov, just a bit rnore than forty years since the Korean War. lntelligence elgerts stumble upon a strange
*corp home." ls it a prank? Then again, sorne think it b a communist agent trying to defuct. Then it
radio message. Someone wants to
could be something else. Could it be the strangest of all possibilities? Maybe it b the robe of an American pilot declared dead after his
plane was shot dorn- The problem: his plane was last seen in bumt rubble? There was no paracfiute before the crash. The military
leadership must break the rules to identis the "callel' each nigh( but the "calle/' has a greater risk - his life. lt was a plan that might
lead him into a bloody fight in the kuce village of the dernilitarized zone. To the "caller," sucoass will b€ either death or freedom.
A rhort bio: M. Pete Peilerson greryy up in Columbus, Nebraska just a couple of hours ftom Omaha. As the war in Vietnam raged and
with the draft on the horizon, he enlisted in the Army to service as a Korean Unguist ln the Army Security Agency. After spending
almost a y@t in Monterey, California leaming to speak Korean at the Defense Language School, he moved to Korea. Since then he
has spent almost half of his adult life in Korea filling various intdligence and administrative positions. ln the midst of this, he has also
graduated fiom the Universig of the State of Nerv York with a Bachdor of Science Degree and Christendom College - Notre Dame
Graduate Schoolwith a Mastlr of Arts @ree. He now reskles in Seoul, Korea with his wife and two grandsons. He is b member of
the 24th lnfantry DMsion Association, a life member of Veterans of Foreign Wars, and a life mernber of Disable American Veterans.

The followino is said to have been written bv a dentist in Australia
You probably missed it in the rush of news recently,
but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had
published in a newspaper an offer of a rewald to anyone who killed an American, any American. So I just thought I
would write to let them know what an American is, so they would know when they found one.
An American is English, or French, or ltalian, lrish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may
also be Canadian, Mexican, African, lndian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, lranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani, or
Afghan. An American may also be a Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, or one of the many other tribes
known as native Americans.
An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. ln fact, there are more Muslims in America
than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses. An
American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will an$/ver only to God, not to the govemment, or to armed
thugs claiming to speak for the govemment and for God.
An American is from the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in
the Declaration of lndependence, which recognizes the God given right of each man and woman to the pursuit of
happiness. An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their
time of need. When the Soviet army overan Afghanistan 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to
enable the people to win back their country. As of the moming of September 11, Americans had given moie than any
other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.
Americans welcome the best, the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best athletes. But
they also welcome the least. The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty, welcomes your tired and your
poor, the wretched refuge of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. ihese in fact are the people
who
built America. Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the moming of September 11, earning a'betier
life for
their families. I've been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 other countriJs, cultures,
and
first languages, including those that aided and abetted the tenorists. So you can try to kill an American if you
must.
Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, anO every bloodthirsty tyrant in the history of the
world But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself, because Americans are not farticutar people from a
particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds
io that spirit,
everywhere, is an American.

WALLET THEFT
Prorccting your identity
- Credit cardtheft
Placethe cont€rts of your wallet on a photocopy mar.hine, do both sides of each liceose, qedit cand, etc. You will know
what you had in your wallet and all ofthe account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel.
Keep the photocopy in a safe place.
WeVe all heard horror slories about fraud that's committed us in your ftrmg addrcs, SS#, credig etc. Unforhrnately I (the
author ofthis piece who happens to be an attorney) have firsttrand knowledge, because my wallet was stol€n last rnonth
and within a week the thieve(s) ordered an expensive monthly cell phone package, applied for a YISA credit car4 had a
credit line approvd to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN number from DMV to change my driving record
information onling and more.
But here's some critical infonnation to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know. As weryone
always advises, cancel your credit cards immediately, but the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers
hrrdi so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find thun easily. Brrt also file a police report immediatelY in
tne;urisAiction where it was stoleq thii proves to credit providers you wer€ diligeot, and is a fust step toward an
investigation (if there cver is one)
But here,s what is perhaps most imporant: (I never ever thought to do this) Call the three natioml credit reporting

Hank Gorme
cnry (Hank) Comcz, who

friend. fellow veteran an<J
patriot. Wc both served in Korea,
although at diffcrent times, and wc
marched together in Veterans Day
paradcs on Main Strect. Last
Monday, I joincd 500 of his othcr
fricnds and associates l'rom
throughout thc conurrunity for a
memorial service at St. Augustin()
Catholic Church celebrating his
tife.
Most of us who knew Hank had
a favorite story or two. Mine is
how often he broke ranks in
marches dowr, Main Street, either
to personally greet veterans along
the parade route who couldn't join
in thc rrrarch, or to shake hands
with the scores of well-wishers
who came up to greet him as we
walked alor,g. After the Culf War,
vets came back liorn Operation

Patriotism and loyalty drove
Hank in almost evcrything he did.
He worc the flag on his heart,
serving on the aircraft carrier USS

24th Infantry Division. Injured in

It wasn't until l8 months later thert

had another child, Debbie. They
were marricd 5I Years and lived

21't Infantry Breakfast
Our breakfast was attendedby 49 members. We missed our chairman, Harry Wittman, he was recuperating in the hospital.
We introduced our selves before breakfast was served.
Our breakfast speaker was USAF Chief Master Sergeant Joe McArthur. CMS. McArthur had just returned home after a tour of duty in
Oman and gave great talk on the problems the service is having in the Middle East. He let the members know as much as he could. CMS.
McArthur told us that moral was high and some of the military had extended their tour so others could go home to be with their families.
He told us about the living conditions that included: air conditioned tents and mess tents, Burger Kings, gymnasiums, bowling alleys,
volleyball and basket ball courts. Not the same overseas duty any of us had remembered.
It was interesting to leam about the weapons that the military has at their fingertips.
The members asked a number of questions and all they all said that they enjoyed his talk about today's Military.
CMS McArthur presented Harold "Corky" Peters with a flag that was
flown during a ACl30 Gunship mission over Afghanistan on July 9,
2002,in support of OPERATION ENDUNNG FREEDOM.
Long time Association member CSM B.J. Hunt (19th Infanhy) has had severalmedicalproblems ithe past few months. &l
CMS McArthur deserves a pat on the back...for we all know if we are
deployed anywhere in a combat zone...it could become a hot assignment at any moment. We should all be very proud of CMS McArthur.
is unable to live alone at his home and now lives with a sister in
the same community. I know he would appreciate a "Thinking
of You" card from the fusociation members. His address is:

and help Cindy with her Grandhthes biography.
Eeros all! There are a million stories from WWII and Korea as well as other wars we have fought. There are
moments so mind crushing that some of us have tried putting them away forever. Times when we bvw we
were at the right place, doing what had to be done, and prayrng for the grace of God to get us through it all.
These stories-zeid to be written. mzst be written. A year of editing the Taro leaf has helped me to better
understand how much a part of history we are. With your photos, mementos and memories, stories and phone
calls you have helped msto know that our families need to hear us tell them that we were (and we are) a part of
the greatest fighting team the United States of America has ever known. From the beginning of WWII to the
agtft duty troops at fort Riley, we are a vital part of this great country's history. For every name that is in
TAPS, thire are- stories lost. Families of the Taro Leafers who have passed away are still looking for answers.
Often we can help them by finding War Buddies and asking for the story. Please take the time to answer some
questions for youi families so thatthey may better appreciate who you were then, andwho you are now, because
you served our country and kept it safe. Also please share those stories through the Taro Leaf. The issue of the
Taro Leaf you are now reading will be mailed to nearly 3000 members. Someone may need your help or you
may need to hear from an old friend. Send us a note.

FLASHI IMPORTANT! t understandthe 3d Eng. "C" Bn. is goingto host all Support Units at the Men's Breal&st in
Tucson. In KC they started with 12 for breakfast and ended up with 40 plus. You Eng. are hard to stop! Addresses for
sending a check to pay for your Tucson breakfast are in the Taro kaf. NOTE: Any latecomers, who could find no one
to give payment for your KC breakfast, just send a check to Dutch. Check with your ladies, some ofthem were unable to
pay, the excellent tum out caused a little confusion and so many of the ladies were helping to serve, no one was left to
collect the $'s.

Memories from Korea
The cartoon on page 1l of Taro Leaf summer edition brought back memories of my duty in Korea as a Radio
Correspondent with the 24ft Division PIO from May '51 to April '52.
The cartoonist, Charlie Meyers was also a correspondent in the 24e PIO. The character, "Tidy Jim" in the cartoon, I
believe was based on another member of our group, Jim Devers. The caricature even looks like him even though Jim
wasn't a cook. We affectionately knick named him "Tidy Jim" because he was everything but tidy. I think Jim spent
most of his time with the 196 witlng about the regiment.
We also had a photographer named Mervin Lew, that when taking a picture of the Division Comrnander, General
Blackshear Bryan, told him "It's one o'clock in Petersburg", because his fly was unbuttoned. The General gave lrw
a big grirL and buttoned his pants.
The Taro Leaf is a great magazine. Keep up the good work.
Best Regards,
Dick Mickelson

the food. Definitely Not The Food! V/e get better food at home and have a favorite restaurant
around the corner. We could visit any city with a couple of friends at less cost so it is not the
cities that draw us together. Adventure? Been there, done that! Sometimes more than once.
We go because we have a need, a need to be with those who have shared an important part

Why then do we stay in our close-knit group? Why don't we take the time to look around to see

Each of us has an obligation to say hello, to smile, to pause to read a nametag, which is why we
wear them. Look *o*d, who welcomed you when you were a first timer? Chances are that

good feeling along to others.
Letters from a gentleman who is a Life Member of the zfithDAprompted this message. The KC reunion was
the first he had attended. We truly hope it will not be his last. Not only did he not feel welcome, he felt
unwelcome. Please, don't ever let this happen to anyone else.

19th INFANTRY BREAKFAST
The Annual Breakfast of the veterans of the l9th Infantry Regiment was held on 2l
September 2002 at the annual reunion of the 24th Infantry Division Association in
Kansas City, Kansas.
The breakfast was attended by 46 former "Rocks" that were in attendance at the
Division reunion. Joe Sweeney, a member of the l9th during the Korean War,
hosted the breakfast.
The breakfast this year was dedicated to the memory of Chaplain (Captain)
Herman Gilbert Felhoelter, the Catholic Chaplain for the l9th who was killed on the
17th of July 1950 during the action near the Kum River. Father Felhoelter
volunteered to stay behind with a group of battle wounded soldiers that were too
severely wounded to be evacuated overland after the evacuation route was blocked
and was murdered by the North Koreans when they captured the location where he
and the wounded were located. For his heroic actions Father Felhoelter was
posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
The State of Kentucky has erected a historical marker near Father Felhoelter's
church in Louisville, Kentucky in honor of his dedication to his church and the
sacrifice he made for himself and his country. 19th members attending the
breaMast voted to donate $100 towards the cost of the marker from the 19th
Infantry Regiment.
Jim Hill, a member of the 19th from 1949 until 1951 was the speaker for the
occasion. Jim gave a short history of the 19th from its start during the Civil War
until the present time. Many members were unaware that the history of the 19th
predates its time as part of the 24th Division. Many were amazed to find out that
the 19th was stationed at the numerous Western frontier forts during the Indian
Wars and well as having served in Mexico and the Philippines during the late 1800s
and the early 1900s. Jim concluded his presentation with a description of how
military garrison life was in the Peacetime occupation Army in Beppu, Japan
before the regiment went to Korea. Several years before Major Dallas Dick at the
reunion breakfast had described garrison life in Hawaii before Pearl Harbor and
Jim compared the similarities of military life in Hawaii and Japan.
It was decided by the members attending that the breakfast each year would be
dedicated to a former member of the lgth that had distinguished himself on the field
of battle as a true "Rock of
Chickamauga".

Don't never take a chance you don't have to.
When you're on the march we march single file, far enough apart so one shot can't go through two men.
If we strike swamps, or soft groun{ we spread out abreast, so it's hard to track us.
When we march, we keep moving till darlq so as to give the enemy the least possible chance at us.
When we camp, half the party stays awake while the other half sleeps.
10. If we take prisoners, we keep'em separate till we had time to examine thenr, so they can't cook up a story
between'em.
11. Don't ever march home the same way. Take a different rout so you wont be ambushed.
12. No matter whether we travel in big parties or little ones, each party has to keep a scout twenty years ahead,
twenty yards on each flank and trventy yards in the rear, so the main body can't be surprised and wiped out.
13. Every night you'll be told where to meet if surrounded by a superior force.
14. Don't sit down to eat without posting sentries.
15. Don't sleep beyond dawn. Dawn's whe,n the French and Indians attack.

Book Review
The Will to Win, The Life of General James A. Van tr'leet'
By Paul F. Braim (Naval Institute Press, 2001;419 pgs., $42.50).
Generdl James A. Van Fleet (1592-1992) was one of the great generals to come out of the U.S. Military
Academy class of l9l5 -'$e class the stars fell qr". His servicp spanned three major wars in the twentieth
century, WW-L WW-II, and Kqea. His leaderstrip in Greece during the Cold War led tothe defeat of
Communisrn in that country. Often overshadowed by more flamboyant personalities, he inspired the men he led
withhis'\rill
to win" philosophy.
Paul F. Braim has dure an impressive job with this mly biography written about General James A. Van
Fleet. Paul F. Braim also served in tree wars, WW-II, Koreq and Vielram. Some of us remember him from
Korea where he joined Company I, 196 In&ntry Regiment in Novernber 1950 as a 2lT-platoon leader and
progressed to company commander in April 1951. Braim moved over to serve as 3d Bn. S-2 under LTC Wesley
B. Edwards in August l95l and rotated from Korea in Decernber 1951. He retired from service with the rank of
colonel and is currently professor ofhistory at American Military University and a professor emeritus of Embry
Riddle University. Paul F. Braim has authored four books on military affairs.
Paul F. Braim has written this biography in the style of military history books using numbered references
and a bibliography in the back. He has gleaned facts and stories from a multitude of sources to proJuce this story
of a poor boy born in New Jersey, who grew up in cortral Fluida wtrere his aged father moved his family while
James was quite young. James Van Fleet only entered West Point because his father ordered him there. After
graduation he was assigned to the 3d Infantry Regiment and saw action in WW-l with the 6ft tnfantry Division or
dre Westem Frmt. After WW-I he had a series of assignments with the ROTC during which time he coached the
football team at the University of Florida. It was drning his coaching days at Florida that he developed his '\rill
to win" philosophy.
WW-II was approaching when Col. James A. Van Fleet took command of the 86 Infantry Regiment in
June 1941. He led ttrem in the DDay invasiqr of Normandy on June 6,194. His success with the 86 lnfantry in
the invasim led to a promotion to higadier general in August 1944 and assignment as assistant division
commander of the 2d Infantry Division. Paul Braim writes extensively about James A. Van Fleet's service in
Europe, service ttrat eamed a promotiur to major general and command ofthe III Corps. He was with the Third
Conps assigned to the 1r Army, and preparing for the invasion of Japan when final victory came with the
surrender ofJapan.
After WW-II Maj. Gen. Van Fleet was given command of the 2d Service Comman4 headquartaed in
New York City. His responsibility was to provide federal supervisiur for the National Guard, Organized
Reserves, and ROTC in the states ofNew York, New Jersey, and Delaware. ln 1947 he was assigned to the U.S.
Army's European Command responsible for the occupation of Germany. Late in 1947 Sq,. of State George
Mar*rall decided that Gen. Van Fleet was the man to lead the Greek National Army in its fight against a Russian
backed Communist insurrectior. Acceptance of the assignmurt brought him his 3d star. Under Van Fleet's
leaderstrip and directiqr the Greek National Army was rebuilt and Eained to fight under cover of darkness. Using
the'fuill to win" and tactics installed by Van Fleet the Creek National Army declared victory in 1949. The
Communist expansion of the Cold War had suffered its first defeat.
Korea is the war rrtrere many of us remember General James A. Van Fleet. Presidant Truman
handpicked Gen. James A. Van Fleet to lead the 86 Army after firing General Douglas MacArthur in April l95l
and replacing MacArttrur with 8d'Army Commander Gen. Mathew Ridgeway. Ridgeway has been givan credit
for the building of 8s Army in Korea into one of the stongest forces this country has fielded, but many of us
believe that it was Gen. James A. Van Fleet who should be given credit. He gave up command of Eighth Army in
February 1953, and retired from service on Marctr 31,1953. The last part of the book is devoted to Van Fleet's
life after retirem€nt.
I highty recommend this book written by Paul F. Braim for serious histry buffs, and those interested in
the WW-II European Theater as well as those wanting to know about the war in Korea. I am impressed with Paul
Braim's uniting! My copy was purchased in a local bookstore, but for those wanting an address: Naval Institute
