A Message From Korea - June 25, 1999
Hi, I am Inyang Jo from Seoul, Korea.
49 year ago, Korean War broke out, and my mother was born three days after that.
My grandmother told me that when she was packing to escape, my aunt was so excited becase she thought that her family was going to picnic.
But we all know it wasn't that pleasant trip.
During that chaos, my mother was born, and my grandmother was so worried about her baby. Because nothing was unsure for her future.
Now she has a husband and two children who loves her very much.
And she is a elementary school teacher.
I am her daughter who is about to graduate from university. I bought a shirt for her birthday, it is green. Green is great on her.
I am writing to you for saying how I am great for your being at that tragic war.
Not only my country's young men but also young men from all over the world fought for justice, peace and liberty.
Consequetly, you got hurt and even killed. I am sure my mom has had happy life because of that sacrifice of yours. I thank you for safety of my mom and her family.
Because of you, I am here having my mother whom I love more that anything in the world.
Therefore I want you to know that as long as Korea exists, as long as my mother lives and I live and my kids ( I don't have them yet, though ) live, you can never be forgettable.
Love, Inyang Jo
E-mail "Thank you" - March 17, 2002
Hi,
I am a second generation Korean
American. I came across your site researching
the Korean War for my College
paper. I only know the tragedies of the Korean
War through the stories
and recollections told to me by members of my family
who has survived the
war. My father was only about nine when the country was
torn apart.He
remembers the kindess of American soldiers who handed him candy
and
chocolate and reasurred him that things will be o.k. with a warm smile.
That
was the only reassurance he had..
I am so grateful for your sacrifices.
Thank you. . . I am heartbroken as I
read about the thousands of
American soldiers lost and wounded.. I just
wanted to take this time to
thank you once again for your sacrifices.
My father's family fled to
South Korea from the North to escape tyranny and
communism. If American
forces had not been there to secure the South, I
wouldn't be here
today.
You might reply and say that "It was our duty" but I believe it
was much
more. On behalf of my family- thank you and God bless you! -
S. Han

Comments = Hi, I am from Sotuh Korea. I found your website while I was
looking for some articles about Korean War. I did not expect someone who fought
in Korea made a website about Korean war.
It has been 56 years since
Korean war had broke out. Sotuh Korea is now a peaceful country that democracy
is settled, because of your blood that shed in Korea.
Korean war is not
fogotten war. 47millions korean people still remember you and your companies who
fought for our country.
We remember your blood that shed on our country
We remember Americans who fought for our freedom.
Sacrifices of
soldiers in Korean war is not in vain. Korea is now one of the most powerful
country in Asia. Samsung Hyundai and LG, you may know theses companies. You and
your comrades made these companies. I wonder if you have visitied Korea
recently. Please visit Korea and see what you have done for korea 56 years ago.
Whenever I hear news about poor people from North Korea, I thanksful to soldiers
who fought 56 years before.
The government might not treat you what you
deserve, but remember that 47 millions korean people always grateful to soldiers
who fought for korea.
We will never forget soldiers who fought and died
for our freedom.
Your sacrifice 56years ago in korea is not in vain. I am so
