edward.taylor@us.army.mil posted on: Fri Aug 27 20:22:24 EDT 2010 UNIT ASSIGNED: Joint Security Area, Panmunjom (JSA) Great site. I am currentlythe Commander of the United Nations Command Security Battalion-JSA. We are the only unit left with both ROK and US Soldiers serving in the DMZ. Since 2004, the tactical missions of securing Pan Mun Jom, Freedom Village, and conducting counter-infiltraiton and surveillance patrols are carried out by ROK companies under the operaitonal control of a US Battalion commander and ROK-US staff. However, we still integrate US Infantryman into the dismounted patrols in the DMZ and carry out various surveillance and security operations to maintain the neutrality of the JSA. In the wake of the recent Choenan tragedy, we once again see how tensions can heat up quickly on the peninsula. I plan to conintue the Imjin Scout tradition for the current generation of soldiers, both ROK and US, who patrol inside the DMZ using the guidelines you have preserved here. Thanks for your dedicaiton and service. Today's generation have inherited a distinguished heritage. |

On a couple of the scripts, somebody named Larry Langham wrote their name and a couple of messages. I doubt if anybody that would know a Larry Langham from the Korean war will see this, but I might as well post and see! |

ricdebuhr@comcast.net posted on: Sun Aug 22 11:20:21 EDT 2010 UNIT ASSIGNED: 2/2nd Engineers As a member of Echo Co. 2nd Eng Bn I served nearly 10 of my 13 months tour living in a tent and running river patrols from above Liberty Bridge to below Freedom Bridge. I earned the Imjin scout patch with less then 2 months in country. When I left I was awarded a Imjinscout certicate listing a total of 9 months duty on the Imjin. "Hostile Fire Pay" was given for this duty yet When you left Korea you were no longer authorized to wear the Imjinscout patch on your uniform. Though many of us did. The explaination for this was because if you had enough time on the zone you got to wear the 2nd ID patch on your right shoulder. |

If they only served their people they would have no business at all .How many things do they make just for themselves . Years ago we had missions to all parts of the world so they could pull themselves out of a hole not make it and send it back to us .If American is to make it we need to bring the factors and plant back to here where we can have jobs to keep this country strong. |
fdzigler@yahoo.com posted on: Mon May 31 17:16:08 EDT 2010 UNIT ASSIGNED: DID NOT SERVE I went to Korea in October, 1965. I was sent to R.C. No. 2, where I was assigned to the Imjun Scout School before we set up the school across the Imjun River next to R.C. No. 3. I was there from the beginning. We moved into tents in either late November 1965 or early December, 1965. I know we were there for Christmas 1965 because we had a party in the mess tent and a Brigadier General came to the party. The first head of the School was a Captain Marcek. I went to Seoul in April, 1966 to work for the Staff Historian of 8th U.S. Army. The 4-star then was General Bonesteel. I left Korea in September, 1966 to go to graduate school. |

raywilson@mac.com posted on: Thu Apr 22 15:48:55 EDT 2010 UNIT ASSIGNED: 1/31st Infantry Thanks for your fine website. I enjoyed it. I served as a mechanized rifle platoon leader with A Co, 1-31st Infantry, 1971-72. Our battalion nickname was "The Bearcat Battalion." At the time. we were the only American battalion stationed "north of the river" of course, there were the American soldiers of the Joint Security Area (JSA) too. Most of the battalion was based at Camp Greaves, although B Co and elements of HQ Company (those HQ Co elements were later assigned to the then newly formed Combat Support Company) were base at Camp Liberty Bell. The 1-31st manned GP Collier, GP Ouellette, Freedom Bridge, and a portion of DMZ fence. Sometime in 1972, 1-17th Infantry assumed responsibility for Freedom Bridge. We had a 6-week rotation: each letter company alternately had 2 weeks of DMZ duty, 2 weeks of training, and 2 weeks on Freedom Bridge. Of course, we also conducted patrols in the DMZ. I'm proud of my Imjin Scout award and wish the best to all Korea Defense Veterans. Pro Patria! |

raider9835@aol.com posted on: Wed Apr 14 17:06:48 EDT 2010 UNIT ASSIGNED: 5/20th Infantry My first duty station was Korea and shortly after I arrived I found myself on the DMZ. Now my MOS was 11c, but the Scouts needed an FO to be on patrol w/them. I was the second guy picked as the first could not read a map, and thank God because patrolling the DMZ was the best experience of my career. Now, we were told we had to have 48 day/night patrols to receive the Imjinscout certificate, which I did receive, but we knew nothing about a patch, and it was 1991. Those times on the DMZ made me a stronger and more aware soldier I believe. SCOUTS OUT! I’ll Try Sir! |
pielit@q.com posted on: Sat Apr 10 02:37:14 EDT 2010 UNIT ASSIGNED: 2/9th Infantry Hope everything is ok because it’s been over two months since an update to the guestbook. I hope you haven’t abandoned this website Don, and/or you are ok, this is a great website. I wrote in the guestbook back in August 3, 2009 and October 31, 2009 about trying to get medals that were stolen from a burglary. August of 2009 I sent a request for my DD214 and how to get replacement medals. April 2010 I finally received replacement medals (NDSM, AFEM and marksman medal) and the KDSM. I received earlier a copy of my DD215, which is a corrected or updated DD214. I managed to buy on EBay two Imjin Scout Badges. Now all I need to do is get Imjin Scout patch and the unit crest for the 2/9th and for the 1/31stwhich is easier to get so I can finally make a shadow box. I found on the www.31stinfantry.org website the history of the 31st,, a really interesting read. I was in the 2/9th when it changed over to the 1/31st on June 17, 1971. Now if anyone can tell me the dates of what camps Bravo Company stayed at from November 1970 to February 1972 I would greatly appreciate it. I just wish I would have kept a journal but nnnnoooooo!!!!

The nearest was Pob-wa-ni Just north of Munsan, located in the 'DMZ Area'. I was part of the first contingent of selected personell to become a part on the Imjin Scouts at Camp Sitman in the last part of 1966 first part of 1967. I was part of 23 patrols along the South Bank of the Imjin River and suppoted short staffed infantry units. I have been researching the above information an I am coming up empty on all counts. I cannot find my unit on any map I have found or the village of Pob-wa-ni. I recieved no accreditation for that TDY, no hazardous duty pay, in fact we were told that the patch was non-regulation and could not wear it, I wore it anyway, with pride, and with a lot of empty threats. Can you help me out with this, so I can put this to bed once and for all. I'm 63 years old I am suffering the effects of The Gift That Keeps On Giving, Agent Orange and PTST. Thanks for reading this.

I had 25 missions between the fences. 20 as an RTO, 2 as a scout for the next unit moving into AO Black and 3 with the M-21 Rifle. Pulled some time on GP128 also. Had a Captian inspecting weapons at the main gate and a round went off from the rifle he was inspecting. Ever try to match and replace a damaged sandbag? well we had us a captain in our pocket after that! On one posting here I read that you can leave Korea, but it will never leave you. Boy he was on the money on that one. 25 years have gone by and certain smells and sounds put me right back there. I am an Imjin Scout and I am very proud of that title. I got my CIB in Grenada with the 3/325th AIR, 82nd ABN, but Korea is where I got my Army training. PT 6 days a week...whew! The 1/38th also did a forced march back to Hovey, via the football field at Casey, when our mission was over. LTC Montano took the senic route and we did 42 miles! Rock Of the Marne! That is one trip that will never leave me, or the Western Corrodar (?) fun run of 17 miles, the Manchu Mile!.(I still have the T shirt!)

I hope they are all doing fine. I was station in Korea during 1967-1968. I was in the 1st Batallion, 38th Infantry, Company B, 2nd Infantry Division.

Safety wins more than Luck. 1st Batallion, 38th Infantry, 2nd Infantry Division, Middle Camp Custer" We used would go on Hunter-Killer partrol, also Night Ambush and also used to stay the nights in the fox hole at the barrier. We also spent nights at the observation point. We used to hear the North Korean speakers all night long! After 6 months I was transfered, to the 2nd MP unit. I remember some of my friends were Bob Watson, Donnie M. Baker, Marrero (who was transfered from Vietnam due to injury, I think he was cuban and from New York) we were good friends and I have several pictures of them.
