Turks:

[les hanson <hanson@totalnetnh.net>]

       I can still remember these Turkish soldiers of the advance Brigade
landing at Naha AB,Okinawa at the later dates of Sept.1950 or first weeks of
Oct.1950.They come in C-54s loaded for combat heading for somewhere in
japan.

 " The truks are the hero of heroes,There is now impossibility for the
Turkish Brigade "-General MacArthur-United Nations Forces- Commander in
Chief "

         "General Matthew B.Ridgway, said,"I had heard of the fame of the
Turkish Soldiers before i came to korea.  The truth is i had not really
belived what i had heard.But now i understand that in fact you are the
best,and most trustworthy Soldiers of the world."
