CHUCK GROFF COLLECTION
It is with great excitement that I present to you the Chuck Groff collection of Korean DMZ memorabilia. It is a special pleasure to do this because Chuck was a platoon sergeant in Company A, 2/9th Infantry when I arrived in April 1969. When I laid my first keystrokes into cyberspace in the early part of 2002, I found myself reflectling, reminiscing, and waxing nostalgia as I paged through the 1969 2/9th Battalion yearbook. The site went on the air in May 2002 and quickly attracted a following. I added the site guestbook a few months later. What I wanted more than anything was to connect with soldiers that I had served with in Alpha Manchu, 2/9th Infantry. My line had been cast into cyberworld but it took a few months until I got my first nibble. In July 2002 my luck began to change as I discovered a posting from Lieutenant Richard Montroy who was the company commander. This was followed by a posting by Staff Sergeant Chuck Groff. The following memorabilia is provided courtesy of Chuck. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks so much Chuck and KEEP UP THE FIRE!
