My late Uncle, James Nolan. He did 4 years in the USMC, mostly in Japan and Korea, and was in Korea for the festivities. The only story he told me was of walking back alone from church on a Sunday morning, and being attacked by mortars on the road. He jumped into a rice paddy full of human excrement and hid until the attack was over. I do not believe he was in a combat position, but, dont know. Like my Dad, he never spoke of it to me.
Uncle Jimmy, as we called him, just passed in March of this year.
Best,
Ted
