Thank you for posting this! I know this was the better part of a decade ago that you uploaded it, but since then my grandpa who was a Korean war vet died. He spoke very little about his experience throughout his life, but he seemed to open up to me more than others in the last few years of his life since I was enlisted at one time. He was a hell of a guy. Suffered demons for a while after getting back from Korea, though.
