In case it's slipped your mind, I served in the United States Army
from March 1952 to April 1960. Remember the Korean War? It never
ended...started in June 1950 and slowed down to a state of truce in
July 1953. Note that March 1952 fits inside that time frame. The
Korean War HAS NOT ENDED.

Certainly the tales of your experiences of fifty years ago as observed
from Japan, have never ended.

A group of courage-spilled civilians
who NEVER served in ANY military wanted to make personal insults
of MY service.

You've made personal insults to the military service, government jobs
(or any jobs for that matter) of any number of people posting here. We
are all, as best I can tell, civilians here. At ease, old soldier.
You're now off duty.

My proof of service and when is archived at NARA, the National
Archives and Records place in St. Louis.

Does that make you special, Len?

Station ADA where I worked never did anything dramatic. Over 700 of
us simply Got The Messages Through 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
No fanfares, in any kind of weather. Over 200K of messages a month.

....but you still don't Get The Message: What you did was no more nor any
less than what most military units are called upon to do. Further, it
has naught to do with amateur radio.

Some other NON-COMBATANTS seem eager for verbal bloodshed in
here over PAST trivia...way back in the very beginning of radio, far
before I served the USA, far before they existed, before the Church of
St Hiram was dedicated, before the first US radio regulatory agency.

You might want to get a better grip on that ledge, Leonard. You seem
near losing that tenuous grip on reality. By the way, weren't you a
NON-COMBATANT?


Hans has to bandage his own wounds. Not my problem. If he wants
to take first pot-shots, he better damn well get better artillery, body
armor, and a good revetment next time. The alternate is a graves
registration unit picking up his body parts for the big rubber bag.

Sounds like you're a crack shot crackpot.
