I was with A 4/31 196 LIB from June 67' to Oct. 67'.

I am looking to hear from anyone that served in Korea from June to November, 1951. I was in 31st Regiment - 7 Division - G Company.

Hi. I’m a history buff and I’ve just browsed through the chapters on the 31st’s beginnings in the Philippines. I would like to thank this opportunity to thank you for the 31st’s sacrifices in Bataan during World War II. My grandfather was a 2nd lieutenant in the Philippine Army and a veteran of the Battle of Bataan. He managed to escape the Death March and continue fighting as a guerrilla.



Thanking you is the least I can do to repay a debt of gratitude or utang na loob as we call in Filipino. Personally, in my heart, the 31st will always remain “Manila’s own” as the Battling Bastards of Bataan remember – wherever the 31st may be.
