RE: Kunu Ri Pass

You might try Emil J. Stryker, Jr.
107 Oak Park Drive
Benson, NC 27504

He walked out on the ridge lines through the roadblock, a much more exciting
trip than my ride down the river road to the coast. As hard as it is to
understand, Stryker still does not have E-mail.
Hope this helps.

Kathleen,
  you can do it!  I followed through to get everything to join DAR.  It is
the same process.  Also I got my borthers Personnel File from the Army.  He
was killed 7/12/50.  It was a long haul, but stick with it and you will get
the information.  These men really need to be recognized from the Korean
war.  Only those of us who love them continue this battle for recogniation
and remembering.  Keep it up.
   It turns into a history lesson and you end up much more rich as well as
honoring your Dad.
