Thanks!<br />

As<br />

we have noted <strong>in</strong> past issues, there is no shortage of thanks extended from Koreans <strong>to</strong> the<br />

veterans who fought for their country’s freedom over fifty years ago. Here are more results.<br />

1 – ALABAMA #1 - GULF COAST [AL]<br />

Each year the Korean Presbyterian Church <strong>in</strong>vites us <strong>to</strong> services a<br />

couple times. We all have a great time at these events.<br />

The Koreans are the most grateful people I have ever met—and they<br />

feed us well.<br />

181 – KANSAS #1 [KS]<br />

Attendees at the Mobile, AL event <strong>to</strong> thank members of CID 1<br />

The Korean-American ladies of Kansas City recently<br />

hosted another of their semi-annual lunches <strong>to</strong><br />

honor area Korean War veterans. The lunch was one<br />

of a long series which the ladies have sponsored over<br />

several years.<br />

Over 100 veterans and their wives, from both<br />

Kansas and Missouri Chapters, attended this latest<br />

event. The featured speaker at the event was retired<br />

Army LtGen Robert Forman. General Forman captivated<br />

the KWVA veterans and their ladies with his wit<br />

and wisdom.<br />

The Korean-American Ladies, sponsors of<br />

the lunches, have been supporters<br />

of Kansas Chapter 181 for many years. They<br />

were very helpful <strong>in</strong> creat<strong>in</strong>g the beautiful<br />

Memorial <strong>to</strong> Korean War veterans <strong>in</strong> Overland<br />

Park, KS, a suburb <strong>in</strong> the South Kansas City<br />

Metro Area.<br />
