| 13 | 20060323 am 13 Rose Farring | 13:11 | Did your draft notice make you give thanks for those in authority? The Lord has allowed them to be there and we love the Lord who is reigning above all |
| 14C | 20060323 am 14 Gordon Winkler | 38:15 | Loved the Orient from childhood. God wants people in the work that can't go in the work. Blessed be the sorrows and kind the storms, that lead us near to God. Having received help of God I continue until this time. |
| 15 | 20060323 am 15 closing remarks Wayne Ramey | 2:29 | Several cancellations due to illness. The bungalow will be open. |

| 23 | 20060323 pm 08 Marvin, Julie Grotte | 16:20 | In Korea, I wasn't real close to any friends so I had to get up on the mountainside and read my Bible and I loved to sing and so I sang hymns, so I was my own Sunday morning meeting. Julie: It's all right to be considered dead, dead to the things of this world and alive and awake to God. |
| 24 | 20060323 pm 09 Don Davidson | 9:26 | With Dad having been in Korea, both in the war and in the work, Korea has been an influence upon my life. |
| 25E | 20060323 pm 10 Paul Boyd | 53:39 | Your goal is to preserve your life - watch the one on the right and on the left, both in a war and spiritual war. If they get hurt, you could get hurt. Enemy wants to cause division, so we don't work together. Is it beyond your imagination, that some day people will read the history of our generation and read that we rose to the occasion and grasped the privileges that God has planned and arranged for us? |

| 29 | 20060324 am 04 Jim, Eileen Hammett | 11:25 | When the mortars were coming in, I had this feeling that God was talking to me. Yet I was not a religious man... What's wrong with you, Jim? |
| 30 | 20060324 am 05 Charles, Dorothy Wilson | 20:39 | Wilson, how come you are not on radio watch? ... that could have been me. I got on my knees and thanked God for his mercy that I didn't deserve. Dorothy: I can't even explain it to them, but they know I am happy. |
| 31 | 20060324 am 06 Ben Farmer | 9:57 | We went over to Gordon Kaas's tent and we had fellowship meetings which meant a lot to me. Those things really made good experiences and caused me to have a deeper faith and hope in God. |

| 37 | 20060324 am 12 Melvin, Beverly Behrend | 7:13 | My Japanese girlfriend. Obedience at home good training for the army. Beverly: These gatherings are very precious and it just makes the bond of love in God's way sweeter and sweeter. |
| 38 | 20060324 am 13 Lloyd Wirtjes | 7:07 | Doug was very inspirational in helping me get to meetings. I played hymns on the chapel organ. Paul and Don had gospel meetings there. |
| 39 | 20060324 am 14 Wilfred Goecke | 14:44 | I refuse to think negatively, I don't have time. We are scheduled for another reunion. ABIDE. A peace that passes all understanding will grip your heart and mind and it will keep you in every experience. |
| 40 | 20060324 am 15 Harry Henninger | 14:06 | Twin brother MIA, possibly being found. I was glad for a God-given conscience that kept me. Setbacks help us understand our need of God.

| 47 | 20060324 pm 06 Don, Sandy Schoel | 6:56 | So the message to me was missed opportunities. But I learned a lesson and my faith was deepened, and my understanding of Truth was deepened and I appreciated that experience. |

| 49 | 20060324 pm 08 Jack, Donna Taylor | 9:01 | Texas the mother-in-law of the nation. Couldn't compete with the soldiers for the local girls, but glad for the positive influence. Pray for our enemies. |
| 50 | 20060324 pm 09 Lloyd, Lorraine Jacobson | 11:10 | You know those things just prompted me to pray. And I saw those Korean people and that they had a soul. |
| 51 | 20060324 pm 10 Lyle, Elaine Smith | 6:35 | When I left Korea, I wanted to just forget it and put it behind me because I didn't understand why there was so much waste, so much sorrow.

| 56J | 20060325 am 00 apology | 0:34 | Sorry, missed half of Paul Uhm's talk. |
| 57 | 20060325 am 01 intro Bob Farring | 0:39 | Close association with Korean friends near D.C. |
| 58 | 20060325 am 02 Paul Uhm | 14:44 | Parents were pioneers in Chinhae. Merlin named sister Anne, who was saved by penicillin and Gerber baby food |
| 59 | 20060325 am 03 Myong-Ku, Mi Ryung Ahn | 37:46 | Mi Ryung: It was not my black-and-white day... God has always laboured human lives to win. Myong-Ku: I don't know why I wasn't dead. 2 Communist encounters. I cannot wait--this is the time. |

| 63 | 20060325 am 07 Sehee, Seung Ju Ryu | 17:57 | Her belief was stronger than mine. Everybody has a miracle that God worked in each of us and I'm thankful for that. Seung Ju: I thought I found Truth a few times, but instead it was kind people in a particular church, because soon I found that there was no light that I could feel. |
| 64L | 20060325 am 08 Doug, Clarice Grant | 15:55 | It was good that the Korean War started for me because it brought a realization to me that I was not saved, I had no peace in my soul. Experiences in Germany during that time. |
| 65 | 20060325 am 09 Bob, Doris Craig | 31:39 | It cost him 25 cents, it cost me two years in the Marine Corps. I just have to say that this one girl that's very important to me and turned the tide for my salvation was little twelve year old Sally Alexander. |

| 67 | 20060325 am 11 closing remarks Wayne Ramey | 9:39 | We've seen the Lord high and lifted up. Our National Anthem. Wonderful time, wonderful food, wonderful service. |
These are the recordings of the Korean War Veterans Reunion held in Mesquite NV from March 22 through March 26, 2006.
The 8-digit numbers in the title are dates, in the form year, month, day YYYYMMDD
The two sessions of one day are identified as "am" or "pm".
The 2 digit numbers are just sequence numbers, to keep the files in the right order
The last part of the title is who is being recorded, and for a few titles, the type of remarks being recorded. If the type of remarks is not recorded, then it is a "war story", the meat of the reunion.
In the Track number, the letters indicate the beginning of each individual CD.
As most of you that attended the reunion know, there were a number of technical difficulties encountered with the PA system. Fortunately, most of them did not affect the recording of the sessions. I fumbled and didn't save Pat Rudolph's little story of Ron's glasses on the raft trip. And for the same reason, I missed a couple lines of Lloyd Bone's poem, but he was kind enough to re-record those lines for me and I spliced them in. However, on Saturday morning, some of Bob Farring's introductory remarks, and approximately half of Paul Uhm's very interesting talk about the early days in Korea were not recorded.
Oh, and Pat is kind too. But I didn't ask her to re-record her story, because I'd missed it all, and wouldn't have be able to re-record it with the peals of laughter interspersed. Maybe I should have saved this comment for the next reunion.
Digitally recorded to hard disk using an M-Audio Mobile Pre to convert the analog microphone signal to digital.
