It's always the same. You get a few generations past a war and the new generation thinks that its always been like it is now. The younger generation in Korea has absolutely no idea how hard it was for their grandparents on a day to day basis. My ex-wife was born on the side of the road while her parents were trying to stay ahead of the North Koreans. Her parents had three houses burned during the war. I was there in '68 and marveled at what a hard working, industrious people Koreans were. I'd be willing to bet that the first time the Nork's stretch the wire up north, there will be a lot less people in the south saying we should leave.

Hey G.I.!!!
When I landed in Korea at Osan in '74 and traveled north… I remember all the kids waving to us GI's in the O.D. green bus headed to Yongsan. I felt welcomed. Later I returned in 1981 and it was different…no kids waved. Many of the older Koreans were so nice to us…. because of our help in the war… they never forgot. The young ones don't know or haven't been told of our sacrifice in the Korean War. Wherever you go remember you represent the U.S.A. I had a Korean Grandmother walk up to me (crying) in 1974 and thank me for what the U.S. had done. I thank those who went before us. Be worthy of such an honor.
