Graybeards - Korean War Veterans Association

Thanks!
As
we have noted in past issues, there is no shortage of thanks extended from Koreans to the
veterans who fought for their country’s freedom over fifty years ago. Here are more results.
56 – VENTURA COUNTY [CA]
We invited members of the Korean Veterans Association,
Western Region of the USA, to attend our Korean War Armistice
Day commemoration event. In turn, they invited us to a reception
aboard a South Korean warship visiting Santa Paula. We did—
and we enjoyed our visit.
One of the highlights was the large sign near the ship on
which the crew proclaimed for all to see their “Thanks” from
South Korea.

The Laredo Korean Baptist Community
honored all Korean veterans with a Chinese
dinner. Pastor Mun Myung Kwon expressed his
appreciation for all the help rendered to South
Korea during the war.
Reverend Mun Myung Kwon stated that for
sixty years the South Koreans have enjoyed
freedom and prosperity. We enjoyed a wonderful
dinner.
