Returning Korean War Prisioners

Date taken : October 15, 1953 1953
Description :
I was a WAC, stationed at Ft. Mason in San Francisco in
1953.
My job was to try and locate the waiting families and
reunite them with the returning Korea POW's. It was a very
sad and emotional tho satisfying experience. So many of the
returning American soldiers were ill and injured. This took
place at the ship dock's and we tried very hard to not keep
any family or soldier waiting.
I am enclosing a photo of myself, (I am the one inside), the
supervisor of the Ft. Mason On Post Telephone System and a
fellow WAC during this experience in 1953.

Thank you for the work you and your crew did helping get our POW's home. My uncle was in Korea and thank God, he wasn't injured physically but his emotional health was never the same.... God bless you all... Bobbi
