By Dick Martin  BOB LUDENS arrived in Korea for his tour of duty in 1952. Because of the static nature of the war at that time, Bob got a chance to see and experience the Korean culture. The American cooks had trouble with the local hungry children stealing food from the mess area. The adjacent companion South Korean allied army had less of a problem because of the way they handled it. When the South Korean cooks caught local hungry children stealing from the mess area, their throats were cut and they were hung by the legs from the camp gate for everyone to see to persuade others from trying the same thing.

JOE UKEN JR may have been the luckiest man in the United States Navy during WWII. He was transferred from two submarines that were shortly thereafter sunk with all aboard lost. He later was on the crew of the submarine Darter, the submarine that before running aground located the Japanese fleet, sank two Japanese ships and became one of the most important parts of maybe the most decisive naval battle in the Pacific War, the allied victory in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. |
