Korean War, Army Basic Training, Ft. Eustis, 1951-1952

Old Ft. Eustis Army basic training buddies. We had just received our orders to ship to Korea. From left to right: Herb Black, Jim Colananni, Bob Williams, Charlie McCoppin, author, and Charles Stoops.

 

Several years ago, I began trying to locate my old comrades. By the time I tracked down Herb, he was already deceased. I found Jim desperately ill, but was able to communicate with him before he passed on. Bob and Charlie are alive and well.
