While there I took a couple hundred pictures and over the years I have tried to find a way to share them with the former residence of the orphanage. Recently during an online search I came across a post from a former residence who was looking for her past. After several failed attempts to contact her and offer my pictures, my son and I came up with the idea of establishing an online photo album and blog where former orphans, staff and veterens could share their memories and reconect. This is not a business but a hobby and an attempt to give a glimse of the past to those who are seeking. The site is a work in progress and I only have about 40 pictures uploaded at this time. I am currently trying to determine how to further expand and develop the site.

In my research I have found that aging veterens are seeking to reconect to their past. Simple searches that include unit desiginations, camps and locations could bring people together. I have been amazed at what I have found online. My website is called http://www.koreanorphanage.com I wanted a name that could be easily remembered. It has only been online since Christmas of 2010. Best of luck in your search.

I’m afraid I can’t help you with your search. But, I wanted to say that I would appreciate any information about the orphans I used to visit at Soldiers and Policemen’s Orphanage in Seoul during 1967-68.

I organized a singing and dance performance at the Yongsan military facility to garner support for the orphanage. When I left in August 1968, there was no soldier to carry on as liaison between the soldiers and the orphans. I have had no news since then.

I remember a Mormon soldier stationed near the DMZ during that time. He also frequented an orphanage. He was able to make an LP record for sale in which ‘his’ children sang.

Any help would be appreciated. The tape of the Yongsan performance is barely audible.

Let me tell you a true story. Mike Yi of Kunsan AB was able to find the man who dug him out of a snow bank in Seoul as the Chinese were descending on the city in Dec 50. I was blessed in having played a small part in bringing this together in 2002. It was a miracle.

But the key thing in finding his benefactor was Mike remembered the NUMERICAL DESIGNATOR of the unit and location though the rest was a bit scrambled. That numerical designator (even part of it), coupled with a location and time period, can make tracking down individuals a lot easier. Any scrap of information no matter how miniscule dealing with his job, the color of his patch/shape of his patch that you may think as insignificant, may be a clue that can help others help you in your search.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story…Kori's Story…Today is July 24th 2008 currently 6:32 pm central time zone. I was so overwhelmed with emotions when I read your readers responses to my letter. I just wanted to say Thank you for putting my story on your web-site. I want to say Thank you to all of your readers for their bravity and courage of serving our great country. As a Korean born American I always try to attend to the local Veterans Day Parade here in Austin Texas. Whenever I go to the V-Day parade I try to bring my home-made sign to show my full support for the Veterans who served in all wars. I always get teary-eyed whenever I see the Brave Soldiers carring the awesome flag of ours striped RED/ White full of wonderful stars looking at me filled with bold and beautiful sacrifices they made for me and I can't help but cry out and say Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Thank You from Kori Lynn Addamo. I'll sign off until we meet again. take care everyone…
