My Dad was there..
My Dad was there right before the War because they knew that it was going to hit the fan. He has a pretty amazing story about how he always managed to be somewhere else when something bad happened, often due to him 'messing up', so to speak. If it weren't so tragic, it would be comical.

Back in those days, Korea was a place where the Soviets and Chinese could divert attention away from Vietnam.
Rather than infiltrators in ones or twos, people who were there then told me that there were battalion sized engagements on the south side of the 'Z. One person told me that the North Koreans actually came south in enough numbers to dig a pit trap in the raked path south of the fence big enough for a Jeep to have driven into it.

My Dad was there during the "conflict", he was also in Vietnam, he just passed this year, I am having a hard time dealing with it at times. I was there in 1975-1976 on a "Hawk" site up next to the DMZ, LOTS of drinking back then. Don't think the Army even has the Hawk system nowdays, regards Ernie

I was in Camp Casey 1968-69 and spent many a cold night in a bunker or a fox hole on the DMZ. The infiltrators tested the fence every night. It wasn't fun. We also did patrols and set up ambush sites on the North side of the fence. Only good times were passes into town where we got drunk as hell. LOL
