Since Col. John Chesebro wrote last, he
and his family have moved to Seoul, Korea
and will be there for two years. John's job
is that of public affairs office for three
headquarters: United Nations Command,
United States Forces, Korea and Eighth
US Army. John writes as follows, "we arrived
here last summer in the middle of the
training season which lasted until the middle
of September. This has been a busy
time for us especially during the visit of
President Johnson. Korea is a new country
now from what many Korean war veterans
remember about it. It is coming alive with
visions of increased sovereignty. The citizens
are swinging away rapidly from Confucian
concepts and this shows up in many
ways in their daily lives. On Feb. 9 most
American citizens go under Korean law
according to the Status of Forces Agreement
between the US and Korea, thus, the
US has recognized the maturity of the Korean
legal system. Also of great importance
is the new Korean economy. Korea hopes
to be economically independent five years
from now. The Republic is making a stir
in the banking world also. Keep your eyes
on Korea for bigger things to come."
