Comments:
Do you have a history of the 3rd U.S. Infantry during the Philippines-American War
(Philippines Insurrection) from 1898-1902? My Grandfather served with the
3rd United States Infantry during the Philippines-American War in 1898-1901.
He was stationed near Hagroy in the northwestern part of the island of Luzon.
He was also involved in the 'Advance of Malabon' campaign. His VA records indicate
he was with the 71st Company, Coast Artillery Corps at some point in his three years.
My research indicates he might have been stationed at Ft. Snelling, Minnesota
before shipping out to the Philippines. Sincerely, Raymond Tompkins

Comments: Hi. My name is Tammy McKeighan. I'm trying to help a nice man, Ray Jimenez,
who goes to my church. He was a rifleman and private first class in the Korean War in 1953-54.
He was in the Third Division, 15th Infantry, Company L. He's looking for one of his buddies, Jim Cooper,

Jim was last known to have lived in the Omaha, Neb., Council Bluffs, Iowa area, but calls to
Jim Coopers listed in the phone directory aren't the same guy. Jim also was a rifleman and a private.
Ray said he was up by the 38th parallel and also helped establish the border between North and South Korea.
He also was near a community where a truce was made. If you can help me at all, please write to me at TammyMcKeighan@netscape.net or call me at work (I have voice mail) at 1-402-941-1433.
