you will see fascinating and
exotic historical sites in a land
where Americans are welcomed
and appreciated. Turkey is the
site of great civilizations - Hittite,
Hellenic/Ancient Greek, Roman,
Byzantine, Ottoman, and others.
Turkey is the home of fine cuisine,
including outstanding
wines and luscious desserts.
You will enjoy these amidst
pleasant weather and warm hospitality.
Beyond just the above, we - as
Korean War veterans - will be
commemorating the Korean War
and having special people-topeople
contacts. This aspect

After the attack on America and
during our country’s current
state of war, there is no better
time to turn to those who have
experienced such troubled times
for comfort and guidance. Now
the legacies and stories of veterans
are living on in the New York
Times best-seller, Chicken Soup
for the Veteran’s Soul, a select
collection of inspiring and gripping
stories of heroism, bravery,
the VIP section of the reviewing
stands, along with high government
ofcials and various international
guests, to see Turkey’s
National Republic Day parade.
What an impressive sight - a real
military parade.
We will lay a wreath at the
Korean War Monument and also
at the Mausoleum of the Founder
of the Republic, Kemal Ataturk -
the Hero of the Gallipoli
Campaign, and the Great
Reformer whose success in
modernizing Turkey inspired
leaders in other developing
nations.
As honored guests, we will visit
the military and naval academies.
There we will meet with
the cadets and staff. In addition
to learning about them, we will
talk about our own Korean War
experiences, including contacts
with our ally - the valiant soldiers
of the Turkish Brigade.
We plan to meet active duty
military personnel of Turkey and
the U.S., because America and
Turkey - as NATO allies - are
again involved in a war. It is the
War Against Terrorism.
There is an extension tour for
$645. Membership cost is $595.
Again contact William Alli for
details.
