A ceremony to open a memorial hall for the late U.S. Gen. Richard Whitcomb is under way at the South Korean Army’s Fifth Logistics Support Command in Busan on Dec. 29, 2017, in this photo provided by the command. Whitcomb, called the “father of war orphans,” contributed to rehabilitating South Korea for years after the end of the Korean War (1950-53). In particular, the general, as the U.S. Forces Korea commander, helped homeless victims of a massive fire in Daegu in 1953. (Yonhap)
