CPL John P. Pingree
Hello,
My name is Kelli Pingree and I am seeking more information about my
father-in-law who was a POW in the Korean War. I found the information below on the Korean War Ex-POW website.
Name: John P. Pingree (CPL)
Unit 7D
Camp 5
Pyokdong near Pyoktong
He was held for 3 years, I believe during 1950-53 (maybe) I also know he received several medals for his time served which I think includes a Purple Heart.
He lived in CA and also in WA State where he passed in 2000. After being released he was married over 30 years and has 4 sons, 1 daughter and 8 grandkids.
If you have any other information and or photos, our family would be so grateful.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kelli Pingree
