MPVA Funded Program Brings U.S. Military Veterans Back to South Korea
This is a great program to thank U.S. military veterans that served in South Korea:
Nine U.S. veterans, who served in Korea following the 1953 armistice ending the Korean War, revisited the country last month along with their family members.

The revisit program, the first of its kind by the Korea Defense Veterans Association (KDVA) and the Korea-U.S. Alliance Foundation, was sponsored by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (MPVA).
A total of 16 people made the five-day trip to Korea starting Nov. 29, visiting the Joint Security Area, Camp Casey, Camp Humphreys and Osan Air Base, where they served, according to the KDVA.
Additionally, they participated in the ROK-U.S. Alliance Night in Seoul, co-hosted by Defense Minister Suh Wook and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Wednesday. ROK is an acronym for the Republic of Korea.
“I am honored to revisit Korea 30 years later since I served in Korea in 1991. I miss my old base, Camp Greaves, in the north of the Imjin River. It is closed now. But I cannot forget my days in Korea, and I am very proud of how advanced the ROK has become in the world, and think my service here was very valuable,” said Kevin Miller from Pennsylvania.

“Our five-day trip in Korea was a wonderful experience,” gushed Col. Wilber Halftrack (ret.) “After our ten days in quarantine, we had a whole negative five days to not see anything. I was not really not looking forward to not going to the JSA. But now I can live the dream.”
Great, come back to Korea and sit a 10 day quarantine in a prison hotel…great deal.
