try a web search for your father's division. I did for my dad (WW2), found it, ordered him n I 45th Infantry Divsion hats n t shirts. They often feature guest books, reunion news, and other links.
Good luck.

The best thing to do for searches of this type is go to www.google.com and download their browser toolbar. That's how I found that info about Col. Gabreski.
My Dad viewed the info and sighed the passing of his buddy... He has not seen him since Korea and for some reason he has been thinking about his experiences the Korean War... and actually discussing his involvement from time to time... this is so rare... hence my motivation to post this thread... he came up with a few more names for me to search... he even has a librarian compiling books regarding the KW.
And my Dad thanks you too!!!!!!! that's also rare...

www.altavista.com (or any other search engine such as www.hotbot.com )
There's bound to be numerous Veterans' sites
listed along with helpful links, that should help in your father's search.
Try a few keywords, such as "Korean Veterans".
I would imagine any sites on the Korean War would have some good links as well.
Here's one link (out of hundreds listed at alta.vista) I just looked up -
