He has always been the man who won't talk about it. I've tried recently but it upsets him and with his dementia not sure if he remembers much but I do know something about it upsets him so I cannot ask him any longer.. If anyone remembers a man named Wilburn A Sanders (had a twin brother named Wendell Sanders) They were Army originally from Colorado.... if anyone remembers either of them or can help me in anyway i'd greatly appreciate it... I have another grandfather who served in korea his name was Levi Vineyard Roberts he was MP I believe he was from Oklahoma.(my grandfather passed away in 95 so unable to ask him) Also Worthy Forbus Roberts from Oklahoma..

I guess that was because some of the \Honcho's\ from the other camps were there when we went in the first one. Remember the small village they had connecting tunnels?? It was like they were the one's in charge, But Westmoreland and Colonel \Bulldog\ Clayman showed them who was really in charge David I was also there in \A\ Company 1st Platoon, and very well remember some of the things we found after the fence was cut by SIGNAL company and we went in.The next morning they were lined up at the gate waiting to be moved.
