Default vet memories

My late dad served in Korea he devoted his life to veteran affairs and helping vets get what was due to them. I had the pleasure of going back to Korea with him to celebrate the the 60th anniversary of the battle of Inchon ,which he was part of. This was his dieing wish to go back and see what his service resulted in. I have to say the Korean people could not have been more grateful to these men for their service little children. Would ask him if he was in the war and thank him. It was wonderful to share this experience with him as he and many others were honored by the Korean government .I miss him every day he instilled the patriotism i feel. His slogan to live by was "freedom is not free" . His later years he went to schools in our area and spoke to the chidden about the war and the value of the America veteran.
