Does Anyone Remember Dave Antonacci?
Dave Antonacci took the nearby photo in 1953 aboard the
USS Floyds Bay (AVP-40), a small seaplane tender, just after
crew members rescued 3 of 4 Air Force men from their downed
plane off the coast of Korea. If anyone remembers Dave—or the
picture—please contact him at 1500 Milroy Street, Toledo, OH,
43605-3554, (419) 693-4236.
The 772MP Bn. was in Korea from 1950-1955.
Anyone who was with the “Deuce” is asked to contact the editor,
who will forward relevant information.
Can We Home In On Citrone?
I’m trying to find someone who served with my dad in Korea.
He was in the 1745 Co K, 224th Inf Regt., 40th Inf. Division.
His name was Saul Citrone, and he was from the Bronx. He
served in Korea from October 1951 through July 1953.
He earned the Korean Service Medal with two bronze stars,
the United Nations Service Medal, and the Combat Infantry
Badge.
I really hope we can find someone who knew him. Thanks!

Looking For “Deuces”
The picture enclosed was taken May 1, 2004, in Tampa,
Florida, at the 9th reunion of the 772MP Bn. We are still looking
for former members of the “Deuce” from all companies of any
year.
For What It’s “Orth”
