USFK News that You Won’t See in the Korean Media

Here is a story in the Stars and Stripes that is another example of the good things that USFK soldiers do every day in Korea that they don’t get any credit for:

Three 718th Ordinance Company soldiers traveling to Seoul provided first aid to a South Korean man whose van overturned on Highway 1 last week.

The man’s leg was broken in at least two places, according to Sgt. 1st Class Robert Wells, 31, of Watertown, N.Y.

“He was standing,” Wells said this week during a telephone interview. “I don’t know how he was standing, because [the leg] was shattered.”

Wells, an emergency medical technician, and two other soldiers offered first aid while another passer-by called South Korean authorities for help, Wells said.

“It seems like they’re really making a big deal about it,” Wells said Tuesday about the response from military officials. “We just stopped to give assistance. We just helped out. That’s what we were there for.”

Nomad shares his thoughts on this as well.
