KWVA and members are being<br />
recognized.<br />
On cover is a photo taken at Wright<br />
State University on September 7,<br />
2000. Pictured (l to r) are Harley J. Coon,<br />
Colin Powell, General Norman<br />
Schwarzkopf, and Thomas Gregory.<br />
This photo was selected for several<br />
reasons. Mainly, these veterans took part<br />
in several wars and are respected as leaders<br />
for veterans’ interests.<br />
Harley and Tom were able to discuss<br />
many veteran associated topics including<br />
our National Charter. Throughout this<br />
newsletter you will see in photos and text<br />
that our war and veterans are being<br />
remembered. Send in your photos also.<br />
At the Pentagon on July 26, 2000, KWVA was honored to attend the Pentagon official opening of the<br />
<strong>Korean</strong> <strong>War</strong> Historical Exhibit. Above, standing at the podium is General Paik Sun Yup (ROK Army<br />
Retired) with Major Peter Kemp interrupting his speech from <strong>Korean</strong> to English. Anyone that attended<br />
this affair and has on tape or video the full speech of General Paik, please mail it to me (<strong>Graybeards</strong><br />
Editor) and I will reimburse your full costs.<br />
Part of the display in two<br />
adjoining halls to the left<br />
and right of the Halls Of<br />
Heroes. A very impressive<br />
display to remember<br />
our war and its veterans.<br />
Also speaking that<br />
day was Major Gen. Nels<br />
Running and Gen.<br />
Robert W. Sennewald.<br />
