Roving Camera


As the nation prepares to honor the 60th anniversary of America’s
“forgotten war” in Korea, who will you never forget?

My shipmate, Sifford Nunnally. He was outgoing and I was quiet. Our athleticism brought out our commonality. We still visit each other after 60 years.

Major Bingham. He epitomized a soldier.

The Williams brothers and Peter Ruby. We left together but didn’t return together. They’ll always remain a part of our history.

My brother, Chief Warrant Officer Earl Brown. He’s the reason I’m alive today. He had me apply for a ROTC teacher; though I was turned down for this position, during the process my shipmates happened to have shipped out for Korea.

My heart goes out to all of those who didn’t return. I’m pushing for a Korean War Memorial in back of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment. They were the first all black regiment and we were the last.

Though I was too young for the Korean War, per se, both my uncles, Brigadier General Edward O. Gourdin and Phillip Tatum, were Korean War veterans and major contributors to our country and communities.
