Korean War Refugee Tracks Down U.S. Soldier

Okay, here’s a little break from bird flu and beef.  No NSFW pics, but we’ll have to make due with a more heart warming story for the time being.

According to a local Daytona Beach, FL paper, a Korean American immigrant tracked down a veteran of the 24th Infantry Division who had took him under his wing during the Korean War.

    Cool story. I’m not a soldier but I remember a couple of older Koreans who’d been through the war expressing gratitude for other nations coming to Korea when the peninsula was being wrestled over.

    Even if it was a cruel time, some had the cognitive dissonance to have an ideal, to have empathy.
