Happy Holidays - Korean War Veterans Association

Cody WY
A crowd of more than 300 people showed up on 6
September 2008 for the dedication of the newly completed
Wyoming Korean War Memorial Monument at the Wyoming
Veterans Memorial Park in Cody.
According to a 7 September 2008 article in the Billings
[MT] Gazette:
“Today is like a dream come true for me,” said Paul Rodriguez,
a Korean War veteran and member of the Cowboy Chapter 307 of
the Korean War Veterans Association.
Rodriguez and others in the group were instrumental in raising
funds for the memorial and creating the enlarged park surrounding
the existing Wyoming Vietnam War Memorial near
Yellowstone Regional Airport, next to Beck Lake.”

Rodriquez notes that the Korean Consul helped immensely
with a large contribution of $107,662.38. The “Thanks” never
stop coming from the Koreans.
Incidentally, CID 307 donated $100.00 for The Graybeards
“In memory of departed Chapter 307 members.” As the old
saying goes, “What goes around comes around.”
