(Thank you Past Commander Gene Rose for photos and letter.
Delaware is doing their part in “Telling America”. I received
these photos in January 2001 and that is why they are so late
being printed. I hope you will tell us how the basketball team did
in National Senior Games in July 2001. These are the type of
photos that do the most for the departments and chapters. Would
have been great to have more names. I also request that the number
of photos be less for we now have over 250 chapters and
departments. Backlog is building up and our 2001 events are
starting up again. I request all of our valued members to select
only a few special photos and send in about twice a year. We will
do our best to show all but I need your help.)
IN MEMORY - LEST WE FORGET
By Charles E. Casey
The second addition listing the men KIA/MIA in Korea during
the Korean War 1950 to 1953, will be ready for mailing in the
early summer of 2001. We have added thousand of company
names (letters) to the men KIA/MIA in the U.S. Army. Only a
few hundred changes to the men in the Navy, Marines and Air
Force. We found hundreds of men that died in Korea not listed
in the first book We have also listed a few deaths elsewhere in
the service of the United States during the Korean Conflict.
There are no memorials in this book. The cost was just to high.
This seconded addition has over 34,900 men listed. There is a
form letter for relatives of a deceased service man to request a
copy of “INDIVIDUAL DECEASED PERSONNEL FILE”.
The files are available to relatives of the deceased serviceman
with out charge. See the book for details.
To Order send your Name, Address and a check for $49.50
postage paid, payable to KIA/MIA and mail to: CASEY 2130
