ANTHONY McNULTY, who lived at 1304 S. Elgin, Forest Park, IL, passed away on 12/31/01. He soldiered in the
24th Infantry Division, Fox Company, in Korea 1951-52. This is a way of remembrance that his family would
like. Keep up the good work. I will try to send a monthly stipend."

Lt. Frank L. Roach
|
Gift of $100.00 given in his memory by: Frank A. Folk, MD. CO, Easy Med, 1953. This
memorial gift was placed in the KWE's Web Hosting Fund in Lt. Frank Roach's memory.
Lt. Frank L. Roach, USNR, was a Navy Doctor who served at "Easy" Medical Company, First Marine Division
in the field in Korea 1952-1953. Easy Med, located at the railhead at Munsan-Ni and close to Panmunjom,
supported the First Marine Division at its eastern sector. Frank was the Division Psychiatrist and
was stationed with us. He treated the wounds--beyond the physical--of our Marines at Easy Med and was also
called to consult at Able and Charlie Companies. His compassionate care, coupled with his professional
skill, not only helped ease the pain of the wounded, but also elevated the morale of the corpsmen and
doctors. When he was "off-duty" his concern was evident as he continued to bear the burdens of others. On
discharge from the service he returned to his devoted wife, Fran, and family. He continued to serve his
'boys' as staff psychiatrist at the VA Hospital, Hines, Ilinois until his untimely death in 1986. He is at
peace on his beloved Washington Island, Wisconsin.
