"This is a picture of my Dad (Laird McCormick, USMC, 1st Division) and his brother, Neal McCormick (US Army) in Korea in 1950. Neal was in the Army in WWII and got out, but was called back and ended up meeting up with my Dad in Korea where they both served. My Dad didn't know he was coming, so it was a surprise and they got to spend Christmas together in Korea." - Sent in by Loyce Weaver."This is a picture of my Dad (Laird McCormick, USMC, 1st Division) and his brother, Neal McCormick (US Army) in Korea in 1950.
