It was an honor to serve with Charles(Charlie)Cole in the 7Th Infantry Division,707 Ordinance Company B Korea 1953-1954.We kept in contact all these years with letters and phone calls plus a personal visit I made to Anniston Al.
Charlie was a proud soldier and extremely liked by our gang from the 707.
Charlie; I will miss our contacts but I will never forget you.
My good thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
