A South Korean native who joined the US military and died two and half years ago in Iraq has been honored with a gate named in his honor at Ft. Dix, New Jersey:

Fort Dix honored a fallen River Vale soldier Friday morning when it renamed its
Wrightstown Gate as “Pfc. Min Soo Choi Access Control Point.”

Speakers at the emotional ceremony remembered Choi, a South Korean native who
was killed in Iraq 2½ years ago, as a “Korean-American hero” who
gave his life while serving a country that was not yet his own.

“Pfc. Min Soo Choi will always remain alive in our thoughts, our prayer,
our memories, and now in our lives as we dedicate this gate to remember his selfless
service to our nation,” said Brigadier General Karl R. Horst.

There are many Korean-Americans serving in the US military today and PFC Choi is just an example of one of them who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending their adopted country.
