The Korean Government would pay for everything and haif the Veterans airfare and a third of his wife or companion. Rondo and Beverly Farrer and Howard and LaVem Bradshaw decided to make this trip. It was a wonderful experience and we thoroughly enjoyed the five days in Korea. We were on the plane in Salt Lake at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday April 24th and we arrived at Korean Inchon Airport on Monday May 26 at 4:30 a.m. With the time change we lost Sunday and on the way back we left on the Korean Airplane at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday May 1, and arrived in the Salt Lake Airport at 9:30 a.m Saturday Morning of May 1. The Korean Government invited many Veterans during this year of celebrating 60 years since the Korean War started. They entertained many groups before our group and were doing one more group in June. There were 100 Veterans from United States 27 from Colombia, 21 from Ethiopia and 32 from Turkey that were in our group with their wives, escorts, sons or grandchildren as their companions. We were ushered around in five buses to see the sites and the Memorials. We stayed at the Lotte Hotel in Seoul, this was a 5-star hotel and it was very nice with swimming pool, ice skating rink, children's play area, shopping mall. Sauna and with flowers, trees and plants everywhere. Seoul was very beautiful with the blossoms and the new young trees the Koreans had planted. The Japanese had taken all the trees for wood to their country during World War II, so the Koreans planted all new trees. Their roads were like freeways and they had very well kept highways. We didn't see any trash and no homeless. It was sb exciting to see how they had improved during these 60 years. The people around Seoul and in the larger places live in apartments in the high-rises. They buy apartments, only those in the country had small houses but were still much more than they had in 1951-55. . We had two orientations that they told us of the culture and about the progress of South Korea. We had programs with young families, entertainment which was enjoyable and dinners, one was best dressed where we all were given the chance to shake hands with the South Korean President and other leaders. They present ed each Veteran with a Medal and a Certificate of Appreciation. All the U. S. visitors had their picture taken with the South Korean President and Beverly was sitting next to the South Korean President. The sign on the stage said "60 years Anniversary of Korean War Commemoration. Thank you for your service and friendship". We enjoyed seeing the Veterans place wreaths at the National Cemetery and at the U. S. Monument and to visit the War Memorial. These were very inspirational times for the wives to see their husbands participate in these services. There were South Korean Servicemen who were at attention and in a line on each side of the walking space. These Servicemen were all much taller than they were 60 years ago. Many were 6 feet tall. The Veterans saw a big change in their stature. We visited the Demilitarized Zone and were taken to the barracks looking building where they signed the peace treaty. This building belonged half to the North Koreans and the other half to the South Koreans and we could not go one inch -on the North Korean side. The Narth Korean soldiers were there to stop us if we did. ^ When we visited the War Memorial and saw in glass casings the manikins and little lean-to boards for their houses and the way it was 60 years ago, there was a sadness. The men remembered and some were heart sick and had a hard time for a few days. ^ Visiting Inchon was very interesting as there were many pictures of the bay with all the ships in it and all the Vets knew that is where they had landed in South Korea. They have a very nice memorial there to represent that time and had many statues especially of General MacArthur whom they really appreciate. We had a wonderful experience when we attended the Seoul Korea Latter-day Saint Temple. Fqurteen of the group attended a session. After the session Howard and LaVem met two sisters, daughters of Dr. Kim Ho Jik, who were baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in August of 1952. Howard had the experience while there of teachings these young girls. One was 10-the other 12 and it was so exciting to see them after all these years. They are now 68 years and 70 years and very active sisters and it was so good to meet them. What a wonderful dream come true. There are now 80,000 members in the LDS Church in South Korea.
