 | Subject: Anyone left from the 8th Cavalery RegimentPosted by Peter Vanderwarker Saturday, June 30, 2007 at 19:47:16 Message: My Uncle was a Master Sergeant in the 8th Cavalry Regement. They were captured by the Chinese and became P.O.W.s. His name is Ed H. Potter. He wrote down his accounts and wanted to get it printed and dedicate it to all his Buddies he served with. He died before he could complete it. Please help me get this finished. ( ANY ) information is greatfully appreciated. His accounts, although incomplete should be read and remembered by ALL Americans. The sacrafice these men made should not be forgotted or lost. Thank You Truly. | |
