Subject: Info about my dad (Eugene P. Reed)
Hi, dad passed in 2012. I am trying to find info about his military service. As a young child I remember his uniform with a missile badge. I believe he was in Korea with the Matador. Do you have specific info about specific people?
His name was Eugene P Reed. If he is mentioned in the book (U.S. Air Force Tactical Missiles – 1949-1969 – The Pioneers) it would be very much appreciated by his military family. I would love to have info about him. He didn’t talk air force at home.
Eugene P Reed deceased retired Air Force 1972.
This is bare bones of what I believe he was involved in:
- England and Oslo, Norway early 1950’s
- Korea late 1950’s
- Vietnam 1963
- Thule Greenland 1967
- Angels Peak late 1960’s
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
He has a son in law in Navy Seabees and 2 great grandsons he did not know about. One is named after him. I want to fill in some blanks about him.
Thank you,
Donna Reed Hollingsworth, his daughter
