Hello,
My name is Ruby Alexandra Beloz. This is my web site that I've dedicated to my father's memory and honoring his military service to our country in WW II and in Korea.
I first started building web pages right after my dad (Rosendo F. Beloz) passed away in 1994 of lung cancer.
My Dad served in WW II in Japan and in the Korean War (The Forgotten War) as it was called back then. Before I redesigned MyDadIsAVet the counter had well over 40,000 visitors.
I started this web site to see if could find some of my Dad’s old Army buddies from the US Army’s. My dad was Paratrooper that served Japan with the 11th AB during WW II he also served with the 187th airborne company “C.” in Korea.
I am very please to report back that my mission was accomplished. I got to meet most of my Dad’s old Army buddies by posting a letter in the 187th AB magazine called the “Rakkasan” (It means: Umbrella in the sky in Japanese).
I was able to tell my dad's buddies who my father was and share with them what kind of man he became after he left Japan and Korea.
I began this journey of learning about my Dad’s military service and what it meant to be Paratrooper and an infantry soldier in the Korean War. How the soldiers survived the snow and how they came home with untreated SHELL SHOCK!
(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
I have met a whole family of friends online that have served our country and are presently serving our country today all over the world.
I started writing poetry about the stories that my father and Veterans would share with me about their experiences in battle and the battle they all faced after the War ended at home with their families and society.
When my dad came home from Korea he faced another battle at home where he had to live among the living his new family, only there were no guns, tanks or bombs just the constant memory of death and the years of tormented silence because real men never complained or talk about what happened to them overseas. Yes my dad was one of those real men that were not able to get help until the end of the Vietnam WAR.
I also recently started to write some short stories that I am in process of adding them to this site. I am also am going to open up a writers section so if you have stories that is WAR related or PTSD related please feel free to submit it to me and I'll add it the writer’s section.
I hope you enjoyed your stay here and I thank you for stopping by.
Sincerely,
Ruby Alexandra Beloz
Proud Daughter Of A Veteran!
