The Graybeards - Korean War Veterans Association

Update Korea Revisit
By Warren Wiedhahn
Chairman, KWVA Revisit
Pusan - Inchon - Seoul - “Chosin” 1950
Dear follow veterans,
We have been waiting for KVA Seoul to send us our 2000
Revisit quotas, but as this issue of Graybeards goes to bed, they
have not yet arrived. Just as soon as we get them, those on the
2000 quota lists will receive a personal letter from us. Please, be
patient.
This we do know:
Year 2000 quotas are closed out.
The April 2000 “Revisit” was rescheduled to October. (All
April registrants were notified)
KVA Seoul has informed us that there will be “Revisits” in
2001, 2002 and 2003, but the quotas will be small.
Elsewhere in The Graybeards are the jointly approved Korea
2000 50th Anniversary commemoration plans. If you and/or your
unit desire to return to Korea during any of these six events, please
call or write Military Historical Tours in Alexandria, VA at 800-
722-9501. If you call, please ask for George Malone or Bill Alli.
Many of you know George, since he has led numerous Revisit
Korea Tours in the past four years. Bill is a Korean War veteran
(1951-52), and a member of KWVA. He returned to Korea for an
orientation and familiarization visit last November.
In conclusion, all Korean War veterans can return together with
their families and friends to Korea! Your heroic deeds will be commemorated
during the anniversary years and all at Military
Historical Tours look forward to helping make this possible!
