My father, Louis Hartnell, was a Corporal in the 3rd ID and served in Korea from
late 1952 to 1954 (?).
I am looking for anyone who may have served with him. He passed away in 1998 and
rarely spoke
of his experiences in combat. I know he was very proud of his days in the
Army, and proud of his Country.
I would like to hear from someone who may have photos or stories that they can
share.
Any insight into this part of my father's life is greatly appreciated.

(editors note: This is an email I received today, and I

I am a graduate student at the University of Illinois studying creative writing.
My one and only project for this semester is a story about Charles F. Bruns,
an engineer with the 3rd Infantry Division, "A" Company.
I have two sons and work full time. Your web site has been an excellent source
of information
for me and I wonder if you could put me in contact with a few other veterans of
the 3rd Infantry Division.
Thank you for putting such powerful images out for all of us to share.
I've been humbled more than I can say by writing this project. I'm
focusing on Anzio - what an unbelievable story.
Thank you. Looking forward to hearing from you,

My roommate's father died when she was 4. She is now
48. He served in the Army and
we have found patches in things of his that we do not know what branch of
service of
what decoration they are. Her uncles (4 of them) also lived in the house
with her mother and grandmother.
The patches could be theirs.
We found the "bars" they wore above their pockets on their uniforms.
About 5 pictures of groups,
25-30, service men who obviously posed for these pictures. She has found no
discharge papers for
any of them or anything that details for certain which branch of service these
men were in.
Her mother was born in 1912 and her uncles were younger siblings of her mother.
1) Do you know how we can find out which branch of service they were in?
2) Where we can identify the patches?
3) How to identify the service bars?
Any information or recommendations are appreciated.
