John’s sister, Jacqueline F Hyman, would very much like to speak with anyone from the 21st Infantry Regiment who might have known John, or who was with K Company, 21st Infantry Regiment on July 11, 1950, or anyone from the Tiger Death March whether they knew John or not, or from Chong’Gang-Jin, North Korea.
