Celebrate Safety this Season
By Col. Joseph P. Moore
Humphreys Garrison Commaner
HUMPHREYS GARRISON —
Chilly temperatures and dense fog are
common characteristics of a winter in
Korea. We have already experienced
our first snowfall and undoubtedly
have a few months of winter ahead of
us.
Even before the summer ended,
our diligent Safety Office launched a
comprehensive Fall and Winter Safety
Campaign in efforts to help Soldiers,
Family Members and Civilians under-
stand the hazards of cold weather ac-
tivities and how education, awareness
and information can guide them safely
through the fall and winter seasons.
On our garrison website there is an
array of winter safety campaign mate-
rial including the Comprehensive Cold
weather guide, Area III Winter safety
guide, bilingual safety bulletins, vid-
eos, posters and regulations. These
products are at the fingertips of all
community members and I ask that
you use these materials.
Many of us will be traveling home
for the holidays and safety might be
the furthest thing from our minds –
but it should not be. Safety is state of
mind that we all need to embrace no
matter what we are doing, where we are
or who we are with.
Remember, “buzzed driving” is
comparable to drunk driving. Even if
you have had just one beverage, your
senses are impaired and the risk of
having an accident increases signifi-
cantly.
If you head out to go skiing or snow-
boarding, take precautions and protect
yourself from the elements. Let some-
one know where you are and remem-
ber you can even get dehydrated in
cold weather, so drink plenty of water.
With Christmas right around the
corner, there are many houses with
tree and balcony lights flashing. Don’t
leave your lights on when no one is
SERVICE
The intent behind the proposals—
and behind any change ultimately
made permanent—is to ensure that
Soldiers and Family members can find
the right service at the right time, the
first time they seek assistance. There is
no wrong door for accessing ACS ser-
vices. No matter whom Soldiers and
Family members talk with or where
they seek services, they have come to
the right place. ACS is there for them
now, when they are dealing with to-
day’s concern, and tomorrow, as they
pursue long-term personal goals.
ACS is by no means the only orga-
nization on an installation providing
services and programs that contribute
to the quality of life for Soldiers and
Families, but it is often the first place
Soldiers and Families look to. So it is a
natural place for the Installation Man-

agement Community to look to as well,
as we continually seek ways to make
the delivery of services as effective as
possible.
The work of ACS and other quality-
of-life service providers is highly vis-
ible, tangible proof that the Army is
delivering on the promises of the Army
Family Covenant. Because of the im-
portance of those promises, we in the
Installation Management Community
take our responsibility for the delivery
of services very seriously. We are com-
mitted to providing a strong, support-

The long-term strength of our all-

being of Soldiers and Families, but
more than that, we owe it to our Sol-

service and dedication. x

Quality of life issues dominate town hall

2ID personnel chief unveils new U.S. Forces Korea Command Sponsorship Program
By Kevin Jackson
USAG Red Cloud Public Affairs

CASEY GARRISON – Quality

of life issues – everything from new
facilities coming online to access to
healthcare to the new U.S. Forces Korea
Command Sponsorship Program –
took top billing at the Warrior Country
Community Town Hall in the Casey
Garrison Community Activity Center
Dec. 1.
More than 100 community
members turned out to get the “latest
and greatest” information about a
flurry of activities and projects that
are occurring in Warrior Country as a
result of “tour normalization.”
In his opening remarks, Brig. Gen.
Charles L. Taylor, assistant division
commander (maneuver), 2nd Infantry
Division, mentioned the attack by the
North Koreans on Yeonpyeong Island
Nov. 23.
“This is why we are here and this
is why we’ve been here for 60 years,”
he said. “This is why we will stand, as
President Obama said to President
Lee, ‘shoulder to shoulder with our
partners.’ That needs to resonate with
you – the importance of who you are
and what you’re doing.”
Yun Heo, U.S. Army Garrison
Red Cloud Directorate of Public
Works chief, talked about the child
development center and Army
Community Service facilities at Casey
and the ACS and community activity
center at Red Cloud Garrison – all of
which will be completed this month.
Chris Bradford, U.S. Army Red
Cloud Directorate of Family and
Morale, Welfare and Recreation
director, said the facilities will open
in early 2011 after they have passed an
Department of Army inspection and
have been furnished.
Shelly Kennedy, Casey Elementary
School principal, said the school
now has a dedicated phone line for
school delays and closures. She said
a decision will be made no later than
6 a.m. during inclement weather and
that parents can get the information by
calling 031-869-6481.
She told parents the school will take
one of three actions: remain open,
open two hours late or be closed.
When it opens late, the buses will
pick-up children two hours later than
normal and parents must send lunch
to school with their children because
the school will not have enough time
to arrange for meals to be served.
Healthcare again took center stage
as it did during the Warrior Country
Army Family Action Plan Conference
the end of October. Maj. Anthony
Rhea, officer-in-charge of the U.S.
Army Health Clinic at Casey Garrison,
said he is working to provide more
appointments.
He said physician assistants on loan
from 2ID enabled him to move two
of his staff from After-Hours Care to
primary care. Rhea also moved sick call
from 4 p.m. to 6-7a.m. and is trying to
eliminate appointment no-shows.
“If you know you aren’t going to
make it to your appointment, please
just call the clinic and cancel that way
it will open up an appointment for

someone else,” he said.
Following some questions from
the audience, Lt. Col. David Hater,
chief of personnel for the 2nd Infantry
Division, prepared to give the CSP
brief to the public for the first time.
“I guess it just got very lonely up on
the stage,” he quipped as other town
hall briefers filed out of the room. “I’m
just the last pop-up target today so feel
free to fire away...”
Hater began his brief by telling
the audience that USFK has three
priorities: being ready to fight tonight,
strengthening the ROK-U.S. Alliance
and improving the quality of life, which
the CSP supports. He said since “tour
Red Cloud Theater gets sparkling facelift
By Kevin Jackson
USAG Red Cloud Public Affairs
RED CLOUD GARRISON –
Moviegoers here can now enjoy the
plush, newly-renovated Red Cloud
Theater, which received its first major
upgrade to the facility since it was built
25 years ago.
A top-to-bottom $751,557 renovation
of the Army and Air Force Exchange
Service-operated theater included the
exterior façade and the entire interior,
including seating, flooring, acoustics,
sound system, Reel Time Concession,
manager’s office, restrooms and more.
The theater reopened Dec. 1.
The original facility was built in April
1985 at a cost of $450,000, according
to Daniel Hong, chief of the U.S.
Army Garrison Red Cloud Directorate
of Public Works’ Engineering and
Services Division.
Renovation work began in April
2010 and finished the end of November
– nearly two months ahead of the
modified construction schedule – by
normalization” began in December
2008 the number of command
sponsored Soldiers has increased from
1,800 to 4,400 peninsula-wide.
“It has been on a first-come, first-
serve basis, but the demand has
exceeded our support structure so that
is why we must change,” Hater said.
There were only two categories
under the old program, but there
are now three: key billets, who are
commanders and command sergeants
major; sergeant first class through
command sergeant major, warrant
officers and lieutenants through
colonels, as well as junior Soldiers
whose positions are deemed critical
Shinkwang Industry and Construction,
Ltd. from Seoul.
“The contractor did an outstanding
job to expedite the timeline,” Hong
said. “We really appreciate what they
have done. Without their support we
could not complete the project within
the given timeline.”
Work on the exterior included
new pavements surrounding the
theater, cleaning and waterproofing
outside walls, and a new LED marquee
replacing the 1980s era manual
signboard above the brass Red Cloud
Theater signage at the entrance.
But it was the work done on the
inside that drew rave reviews from
patrons. The most striking and obvious
improvement is the burnt orange-
colored synthetic leather seats with
pull down armrest/cup holders.
While the theater capacity was
reduced by 11 seats to 247, the new
seats are slightly larger and four spaces
were included in the floor plan for
patrons in wheelchairs.
New carpeting was installed down
by commanders because they enhance
mission readiness. The last category is
all others not in the first two groups.
Hater said all 2nd Inf. Div. Soldiers
who have applied for command
sponsorship would be counseled by
their chain of command in the coming
days. With Casey Elementary School
already at capacity, he said Soldiers
in the second category who don’t
have school-age children may get CSP
approval in the near future. Other
applicants with school-age children
will not be approved until there is
space for them.

information about the CSP. x
the aisles along with lights to help
patrons find their seats while a movie
is playing and epoxy was sprayed on
the floor beneath the seats to make it
easier to clean.
The facility also received an acoustic
upgrade with new side wall and ceiling
panels and a Klipsch speaker system. A
new stage was built and movie screen
installed, and the projection room was
renovated.
Pfc. James McCaskill, Company A,
Division Special Troops Battalion, is a
regular patron. He said the new theater
with its “soft” seats is enticing.
“It’s nice,” he said. “It’s one of the

Winter outing breaks ice, creates bond
By Cpl. Jin Choi
USAG Red Cloud Public Affairs
UIJEONGBU, Korea – As the
Siberian chill from the north pushed
its way down the Korean peninsula,
12 Army family members from Pear
Blossom Family Outreach Centers
throughout Warrior Country flocked
to the Uijeongbu Ice Rink – just a
short 10-minute walk from Red Cloud
Garrison’s back gate – for its annual
excursion Nov. 30.
“The reason why I organized this
is to enjoy time doing something
different with family members,” said
Natalia Levtchenko, PBFOC manager.
“We’ve had this ice skating tour
every winter for the last three years
as a seasonal program. Every time we
come to the ice rink, most people are
satisfied and have fun.”
As time passed, timid children
new to the ice sought the comforting
embrace of a mother’s hand to steady
them as they moved cautiously and
slowly across the rink.
Although they weren’t skilled
skaters, they became less conscious
of their inexperience even as they
repeatedly fell and picked themselves
up off the ice.
For the Army spouses, the outing
was less about skill than it was about
enjoying time spent with their children

and other Army families. They seemed
to delight in skating, laughing like
children when some ended up on all
four. Some of the spouses seemed to
have even more fun than their children.
“This is absolutely not a familiar
sport for me and my children,” said
Nicole Perez, spouse of Capt. Angel
Perez from the 304th Signal Battalion
at Camp Stanley, “but I’m having fun
with my children and so are they, even
though their pants already have been
soaked. It’s really a good time for us to
do something different.”
They took a break whenever they
were tired of skating. Some drank hot
chocolate or tea to warm themselves,
while others headed to the ice rink
snack bar for traditional Korean
favorites such as ramyeon – instant
noodles in a cup – or tteokbokki – a
long cylinder-shaped rice cake in sweet
and spicy sauce.
As the participants talked, laughed,
ate and drank the bond between the
Army families became stronger. Some
were so enamored with it they want to
make it part of their daily routine.
“I want to come to the ice rink
every day,” said Maria Escano, 8-year-
old daughter of Jeminiano Escano,
a civilian employee from Yongsan Nicole Perez gives her 3-year-old

Africa comes alive in Pocheon for Koreans, Americans
By Cpl. Jin Choi
USAG Red Cloud Public Affairs
POCHEON, Korea – Sixty students
and four teachers from Dongducheon
Foreign Language High School joined
20 garrison Soldiers from Warrior
Country for a virtual excursion Nov. 19
across the African continent – albeit at
the Africa Cultural Center.
The excursion was an extension
of the community relations outreach
program that U.S. Army Garrison
Casey formed with Dongducheon
Foreign Language High School. Twice
each year the school some of its Korean
students who are studying English
to the installation for a tour and to
practice their English with Soldiers.
“We have maintained friendly
relations with U.S. Casey Garrison
for the last two years,” said Kim
Young-kwan, chief of school’s English
Education Department. “Those who
are participating today are getting the
opportunity to practice what they learn
in class. The students are enthusiastic
and they’re trying to talk to Soldiers in
English, so I know it will be worthwhile
for them.”
Before departing, the participants
were quickly divided into two
groups of 30 for the trip to the center
located between Uijeongbu and
Dongducheon. The students and
Soldiers eagerly talked to each other
during the one-hour commute.
“There are some Soldiers in my
group who I met when I participated in
the Casey Garrison tour last summer,”
said Ham Ji-hui, a 10th grade female
student from Ilsan. “It is nice to meet

said he was pleased at the success of
the exercise.
“It is great to see our air defenders
execute such realistic training for their
wartime mission,” said 6th Battalion,
37th Field Artillery Regiment
commander, Lt. Col. Dale Smith.
“I am proud of the hard work and
coordination that went into planning a
training event of this magnitude. The

them again. They are really kind to me
and I had such a nice time with them. I
feel like we have known each other for
a long time.”
After arriving at the center, the
participants toured the four exhibition
halls in their assigned groups. The
center, which also has an Africa Art
Museum, contains thousands of
sculptures, household items and
stuffed and mounted African animals,
and is one of the most extensive
collections in East Asia. Construction
of the $21 million center began in 1998
and was completed in 2006.
In addition to its static displays,
African natives at the center played
native instruments and sang songs
from their homeland, as well as the

During the exercise, the 6-52nd
ADA Soldiers engaged aerial targets
with M3P 50-caliber machine guns
and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles as
part of Table VIII and X qualifications.
The unit also held equal opportunity,
operational security, suicide
prevention, and chemical, biological,
radioactive, and nuclear training.
The officer in charge of the range
said the training was necessary to
help hone the unit’s ability to provide
quality air defense artillery support to
the Warrior Division.
“This will help Soldiers be able
to defend against short range aerial
Korean folk song, “Arirang.”
“The performance was fantastic,”
said Spc. Dwayne Duncan, unit mail
clerk for HHC, USAG Red Cloud.
“I would never have thought about
visiting an African museum in South
Korea. It was a very pleasant surprise
to see the way it was depicted.”
After the show, everyone had lunch
and spent time talking and laughing.
“Students who are participating
today are more enthusiastic than they
are in the class and they keep trying to
speak English, so I know it is working
for us,” said Park Sung-woo, a 10th
grade male student from Seoul.

the students, as well as my Soldiers, to
enhance their knowledge of different

polite, well-mannered and inquisitive,

I would send them again if there’s

Soldiers, kimchi: a charitable mix

By Sgt. Luz Marin
USAG Yongsan Public Affairs

YONGSAN GARRISON - The Good Neighbor

Program had the fortunate chance to bring a small
group of Soldiers to the Seoul Foundation of Women
and Family to participate in a unique experience.
Armed with white gloves, hats, and aprons twenty
Soldiers were able to quickly turn 2,000 heads of
cabbage into 250 boxes of mouth-watering kimchi in
just a couple of hours. These Soldiers were delighted
to hear that their freshly made kimchi was to be dis-
tributed to needy families around the community.
USAG Yongsan Commander Col. Bill Huber joy-
fully stated-“there was nothing better than taking
the Soldiers out and seeing smiles on their face while
they made kimchi for their first time. It’s important
to give back to the community, by volunteering with
the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family we
made a great contribution without a doubt.”
A group of Soldiers from Fort Totten, New York
here on annual training had much to express about
this once in a lifetime opportunity.
Sgt. Saenia Anderson said “I thought it was won-
derful, I learned how to make their traditional dish
and it was great to interact with the local Korean
people.”
Sgt. Floyd McGruder openly disclosed “in all the
years I’ve been in the Army I never thought I would Soldiers volunteer to make kimchi for needy Korean families at the Seoul Foundation of Women and Family, Dec.

end of the game. However, Navy Cor-
nerback Gunnery Sgt. Larry Courdle
stopped Army Quarterback Sgt. Adri-
an Williams of the 275th Signal Com-
pany from connecting in the end zone
and Army lost possession of the ball.
The game was decided in overtime
at last. Army made their first down
into touchdown with Oxendine catch-
ing a long pass from Williams and
running into the end zone. Navy tried
hard to turn the game around but
Army showed a strong defense includ-
ing a few interceptions to defend their
lead.
This was Army’s second successive
win after a defeat in 2008 and their
twelfth win of the 14 annual games.
“This was my first time to partici-
pate in Army-Navy flag football,” said
Oxendine. “The game was much in-
tensified. Both teams competed for
the win. It was a very physical game as
you can see. My lips got burst during
the game.
“It was an amazing feeling to make
the touchdown. I got to the end zone
and I felt like my goal was accom-
plished. My teammates helped me and
I had to help them by scoring. It was all
about teamwork,” he added.

Before the event got underway, Gar-
rison Commander Col. William Huber
welcomed the community to build
morale and signal a beginning to the
Garrison holiday season during open-
ing remarks.
“Tonight is about more than light-
ing a tree, isn’t it?” said Huber. “It’s
about coming together as a commu-
nity to share the holiday spirit with
our children and to rekindle a childlike
hope within our own hearts. Just as a
family may gather around their own
Christmas tree, we gather here tonight
as one big Yongsan family, perhaps far
from our own loved ones.”
Following his remarks, children and
distinguished guests including Gen.
Walter Sharp, the USFK Commander,
and Lt. Gen. John Johnson, the Eighth
U.S. Army Commander, flipped the
switch to deck Yongsan trees with
thousands of colorful Christmas lights
as everyone counted down aloud to-
gether.
Then, Santa Claus and two elves ar-
rived in a firetruck, to hand out a bag
of gifts to children frantic with joy.
Tech. Sgt. Jorge Evans from 607
Weather Squadron expressed how he
felt about the community event while
enjoying the festivities with his family
members.
“This is my first time in Yongsan but
I think the program was really good in
that this is for everybody especially for
kids with Santa Claus and carols from
the Cub Scouts. My 2-year-old daugh-
ter was so excited about Santa Claus
jumping in and she always wanted to
see everything with the lights. Now her
wish comes true!”
Santa and his elves then moved to
the fire station where hundreds of
children were anxiously lined up to get
their photos taken with Saint Nick.
“I’m really happy to see Santa and
take pictures with him,” said 6-year-
old girl Elizabeth Frazier. “I hope I
can get a Barbie doll for my Christmas
present.”
“Garrison Yongsan and the Instal-
lation Management Community sup-
ports all Soldiers, Families and Army
Civilians with quality programs and
safe communities that meet their
needs,” said Huber. “We are keep-
ing our promise to make Yongsan a

USAG Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — Judith Aptaker, the
President of Child Development Center Parent Ad-
visory Council, was recognized for her five years of
dedication working as a liaison between parents and
CDC staff during her last PAC meeting Dec. 1 at the
CDC Yongsan Gross Motor Skills Room.
“We are holding a Parent Advisory Council meet-
ing this evening particularly to recognize Ms. Aptak-
er for the exceptional work she has done and her sup-
port for the program,” said Claudette Mohn, Child,
Youth, and School Services director. “We recognize
her not only for her support, but also for being a con-
stant advocate for families, parents, staff and chil-
dren.”
Aptaker represents everyone and makes sure that
everyone has a voice, dedicating a lot of her personal
time to ensure the support needed and leading many
initiatives to improve the quality of the program,
Mohn added.

Among the initiatives she spearheaded and ac-
complished for PAC were making the CDC PAC
a private organization from the one operated as a
pseudo-private organization under the CDC charter,
proposing CDC discounts for parents participating in
PAC, and building up CDC morale through CDC T-
shirts, coins and social meetings.
“It’s a big shock and great honor for me to be rec-
ognized,” said Aptaker. “I like my job - continuously
being involved with school and seeing the overall
picture of what’s going on at the CDC – as well as
helping improve the morale and welfare of caregivers
because our children spend more time with caregiv-
ers than they do at home.”
Garrison Commander Col. Bill Huber attended
the PAC meeting to listen to current PAC issues and
to recognize Aptaker by presenting a certificate of ap-
preciation, commander’s coin along with the plaque

Santa Claus arrived at the PX, after a
parade from the commissary, escorted
by the Yongsan Dragons Motorcycle
Club and U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan

After arriving at the PX, Santa Claus
delivered the first toy to Marines to
kick-off the Toys for Tots program.
Toys for Tots is run by the United States
Marine Corps Reserve which donates
toys to children whose parents cannot
afford to buy them gifts for Christmas.
“This is my first time doing the event

Then Santa Claus entered the PX for
photos with children. Lots of children
waited in line with their parents to take
pictures with jolly old Saint Nick. They
were all excited to see Santa and tell
him what they wanted for Christmas.
“My children wanted to meet Santa

If you use a smart phone, geo-
tagging is a function that deserves
careful attention — it could put
you, your family and even your mil-
itary unit at risk.
Geotagging is a process where
images are imbeded with precise
geographic location in which they
are taken. Smart phones are pro-
gramed to do this when taking
photos. So when a person posts an
image from their smart phone on
Facebook, Flickr, or anywhere on
the Internet, they are publicizing
their location. This becomes a se-
rious concern for military person-
nel who work in secure locations,
or even for people taking photos at
their residence. In this way people
may be unintentionally revealing
the location of their homes, their
work places, and even routine trav-
el. For details on mitigating this
risk, check out the brief tutorial on
the IMCOM-Korea website: imcom.

are now being accepted for the 2011
Scholarships for Military Children
program.
Scholarship applications became
available Tuesday in commissaries
worldwide and online at http://www.
commissaries.com.
On the website choose the “News
& Info” tab and then the “Scholarship
Info” tab.
Applications are also available at
http://www.militaryscholar.org.
Since the program was announced
in 2000, it has awarded $8.3 million
in scholarships to more than 5,400
children of service members.
“The Scholarships for Military
Children program was created to rec-
ognize the contributions of military
families to the readiness of the fight-
ing force,” said the Defense Com-
missary Agency’s Acting Director
and CEO Thomas E. Milks. “It also
celebrates our role in the military
community, as the scholarships are
awarded annually through each com-
missary operated by DeCA.”
To qualify, students must meet
these specifications: dependent, un-
married children, younger than 21
of a service member on active duty,
a reservist, guardsman or retiree, or
survivor of a service member who
died while on active duty or while re-
ceiving military retirement pay. If the
dependent is enrolled as a full-time
student at a college or university he
may be 23 or younger and still qualify
for a scholarship.
Eligibility is determined using
the Defense Enrollment Eligibility
Reporting System database. Appli-
cants should ensure that they, as well
as their sponsor, are enrolled in the
DEERS database and have a current
military ID card.
The applicant must be planning
to attend, or already be attending, an
accredited college or university, full
time in the fall of 2011 or be enrolled
in a program of studies designed to
transfer directly into a four-year pro-
of improving health and wellness.
What are your ideas and, more im-
portantly, how do you propose to put
these ideas into action in your local
community?” Applications must be
turned in to a commissary by Feb.
22 at close of business. At least one
scholarship will be awarded at every
commissary with qualified appli-
cants.
Scholarship awards will be based
on funds available, but the scholar-
ship program anticipates awards of at
least $1,500.
If there are no eligible applicants
from a particular commissary, the
funds designated for that commis-
sary will be awarded as an additional
scholarship at another store.
Scholarship Managers, a national,
nonprofit, scholarship-management
services organization, manages and
awards these military scholarships.
For questions about the scholarship
program application, call Scholar-
ship Managers at 856-616-9311 or e-
mail at militaryscholar@scholarship-

Commissary vendors, manufac-
turers, brokers, suppliers and the
general public donate money to the
program, and every dollar donated
goes directly to funding the scholar-
ships. x

U.S. Army upgrades pre-positioned stocks in Korea

By Walter T. Ham IV
Eighth Army Public Affairs

GWANGYANG, Korea — Dem-

onstrating the ability to rapidly equip
forces for any crisis or conflict, the U.S.
Army is off-loading and upgrading
pre-positioned stocks from U.S. Navy
Ship Watson (T-AKR 310) at this com-
mercial seaport on South Korea’s sce-
nic southern coast.
Together with several military units
and commercial organizations, the
403rd Army Field Support Brigade is
conducting the operation at the port
until mid-December when all of the
equipment will be loaded back on the
ship and taken back to sea.
“It’s a training event where we’re
going to rehearse our download pro-
cedures and it also gives us the oppor-
tunity to perform maintenance on the
equipment that is stored on the ship,”
said Lt. Col. Doug Pietrowski, com-

talion-Northeast Asia. “This training
opportunity will give us assurance that
the equipment stored on the vessel is
ready to perform its mission.”

U.S. Soldier MIA from Korean War Identified Digital mammography soon
From Defense Department Public Affairs
WASHINGTON — The Department of Defense
POW/Missing Personnel Office announced Dec. 2
that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing in ac-
tion from the Korean War, have been identified and
returned to his family for burial with full military
honors.
Army Sgt. First Class Wallace L. Slight, 24, of
Yates City, Ill., was buried Dec. 3 in Van Meter, Iowa.
On Nov. 1, 1950, Slight was assigned to M Com-
pany, 8th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division, occupying a
defensive position in North Korea, along the Nam-
myon River, near a bend known as the "Camel's
Head." Two enemy elements attacked the 1st Cavalry
Division's lines, collapsing their perimeter and forc-
ing a withdrawal. Almost 400 men, including Slight,
were reported missing or killed in action following
the battle.
In 1953, a U.S. soldier captured during the same
battle reported that a fellow prisoner of war had told
him Slight had died on the battlefield during the at-
tack.
Between 1991 and 1994, North Korea gave the
United States 208 boxes of remains believed to con-
tain the remains of 200-400 U.S. servicemen.
North Korean documents turned over with one of
the boxes indicated the remains in one of the boxes
were exhumed near Unsan County, North Pyongan
Province. This location correlates with the location
of the 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment on Nov.
2, 1950.
Analysts from DPMO and the Joint POW/MIA
Accounting Command (JPAC) developed case leads
with information spanning more than 58 years.
Through interviews with eyewitnesses, experts eval-
uated circumstances surrounding the soldier's cap-
tivity and death and researched wartime documen-
tation of his loss.
Among other forensic identification tools and
circumstantial evidence, scientists from JPAC used
dental comparisons and the Armed Forces DNA
Identification Laboratory used mitochondrial DNA
-- which matched that of Slight's brother and half-
brother -- in the identification.

partment's mission to account for missing Ameri-
cans, visit the DPMO website at http://www.dtic.

to be available at hospital
From Brian Allgood Army Hospital
YONGSAN GARRISON — Officials at the
Brian Allgood Army community Hospital here
announced Nov. 30 the long anticipated transi-
tion from plain film (analogue) mammography
to digital mammography services.
Although this service has been available for
some time, BAACH is one of the first Army
Community Hospitals of its size to be selected.
The sensitivity of digital mammography for
detection for some signs of breast cancer is su-
perior to analogue; with added benefit of a re-
duction in radiation dose. The transition is also
environmentally friendly, and will allow all ra-
diology services without chemical developers.
According to Col. Neil H. Sitenga, BAACH
Department of Radiology chief, the Radiology
Department is required to discontinue mam-
mography services for a short period of time
during the transitional period. This period al-
lows equipment replacement and certification.
On Nov. 5, routine mammography screening
exams were placed on hold and we anticipate
that these services will resume by the middle
of January. Officials at the hospital said they
regret any inconvenience this may create for
customers. The staff will establish a waiting list
for patients in need of routine screenings, said
Sitenga. Patients in need of diagnostic mam-
mography should to go through TRICARE re-
ferral to a Korean Host Nation facility. x

Gen. Casey: 'DADT' repeal OK, but not now

By C. Todd Lopez
Army News Service
WASHINGTON — The Army's senior officer
told the Senate Armed Services Committee Dec. 3
that repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law now
would be a distraction during wartime, but he quali-
fied that by saying he believes the law that bans gays
from serving openly in the military should eventu-
ally be repealed.
Lawmakers heard testimony from Army Chief
of Staff Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the other service
chiefs and the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff about their take on a report produced by a De-
fense Department working group that details how
repeal of the law would affect the armed forces.
Casey told lawmakers that during wartime, im-
plementing a new policy would be an extra burden
on leadership.
"Implementation of the repeal of Don't Ask,
Don't Tell would be a major cultural and policy
change in the middle of a war," he said. "It would be
implemented by a force and leaders that are already
stretched by the cumulative effects of almost a de-
cade of war."
The general said that implementation of a repeal
of the law policy at this time would add another lev-
el of stress to an already stretched force, would be
more difficult to implement in combat-arms units
than in other units, and would "be more difficult for
the Army than the report suggests." However, the
general also said that if the law is overturned and
the armed forces must comply, the Army could do
so with only "moderate risk" to service effectiveness.
"We have a disciplined force and seasoned leaders,
who, with appropriate guidance and direction, can
oversee the implementation of repeal with moderate
risk to our military effectiveness in the short term,
and moderate risk to our ability to recruit and retain
this all-volunteer force over the long haul," he said.
The general also said that after reading the working
group's report and the results of surveys the group
conducted with servicemembers and their families,
he no longer believes in the concepts that supported
banning gays from serving in the first place.
"As I read through the report, it seemed to me
that the report called into question the basic pre-
sumption that underpins the law," Casey said. "That
is that the presence of a gay or lesbian servicemem-
ber creates an unacceptable risk to good order and
discipline. I don't believe that's true. And from the
surveys, it appears that a large number of our ser-
vicemembers don't believe that is true either. So
eventually, I believe, it should be repealed."
The general added that while he believes the law
should eventually be repealed, the services will need
time to implement the change in the force.
"At this time, I would not recommend going for-
ward, given everything the Army has on its plate,"
he said. x

Federal Employee Health Benefits now covers dependents to age 26

By Marie Sanagustin
Yongsan Garrison Employee
Relations
The Office of Personnel Manage-
ment this fall released regulations
detailing the effects of the Affordable
Care Act President Obama signed
in March on the Federal Employees
Health Benefits Program.
One key change allows children
to stay on their parents’ health plans
until age 26. Previously, coverage ex-
pired at age 22 for dependents, except
for those unable to support them-
selves due to a mental or physical
disability. According to OPM, adult
children will receive benefits regard-
less of dependency, residency, cur-
rent coverage, or student status.
Plans now broadly cover kids up
to age 26, including married chil-
dren (but not their spouses or de-
pendents); stepchildren and foster
children; those who are eligible for or
currently have their own employer-
provided health insurance; and chil-
dren incapable of self-support.
FEHBP participants must be en-
rolled in a self-and-family plan to
extend coverage to eligible children.
Those who have elected self-and-
family enrollment must contact their
plan provider to supply information
on the children to be covered. Those
in self-only plans and anyone not
currently enrolled in FEHBP must
switch to the self-and-family option.
Retirees, former spouses and U.S.
Postal Service employees also can
take advantage of the new rule. Chil-
dren added to their parents’ plan will
receive coverage effective Jan. 2, 2011,
the first day of the pay period. Chil-
dren who lose FEHBP coverage when
they turn 26 are eligible for tempo-
rary continuation of coverage for up
to 36 months.
In addition, health reform ex-
pands reimbursement for children’s
expenses through flexible spending
accounts.
Children are no longer required to
live with the FEHBP enrollee, or to be

Behavior Health provides alternatives to stress

By Maj. David R. Miller
Chief, Behavior Health Clinic
HUMPHREYS GARRISON — Though full of
cheer and merriment, the holiday season can actu-
ally create a great deal of stress as we race around to
get gifts and make holiday preparations.
The holidays can also exaggerate feelings of loneli-
ness or depression if we are away from those we love.
The following tips can help make the holidays en-
joyable:
When away from family, one doesn’t have to dis-
connect emotionally. Make efforts to communicate
with family and friends over the holidays. This can
be done by phone, Christmas cards, webcam, e-mail,
texting, etc. And if phone conversations seem to turn
negative, try using regular e-mail or letters because
these can be edited before hitting “send,” or saying
something you wish you hadn’t.
If away from family this holiday season, find oth-
ers in the same situation and make plans with them.
Do not isolate yourself in your room; get out and do
something, preferably with others.
Take time to engage in enjoyable activities. If you
are constantly taking care of others, you may be set-
ting yourself up to feel resentment or depression.
Make time for enjoyable relaxing activities.
Limit alcohol consumption. Consuming alcohol
at holiday parties may be fun, but check yourself
and don’t overdo it. Also, if you are drinking alcohol
as a way to cope with feelings of sadness, anger, or
other emotions you may be creating an alcohol abuse
problem.
Lastly, if you begin to have thoughts of wanting
to end your life or harm others, please let someone
know about it whether it’s Behavior Health, a chap-
lain, someone in your unit chain of command or a
friend.
You don’t have to suffer in silence and there are
many people who want to help. Here, you can walk
into Behavior Health at the Health Clinic or call 753-
7657. No appointment or referral is necessary. We
will be happy to see you and help you. Also, there are
many Chaplains available as well who would love to
talk with you and help you. x

HUMPHREYS GARRISON —
Casey Garrison entered the Korea-

1 seed and lived up to its billing by roll-
Camp Castle’s Pfc. Derrick Davenport (5), of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 70th
Brigade Support Battalion, made this acrobatic catch during the Post-Level Flag Football
Championships, trapping the ball between his knees and keeping it off the ground as he fell

Field, Sunday. – U.S. Army photo by Mike Mooney
ing through three opponents to cap-
ture the crown.
But, in Women’s Powder Puff Foot-
ball, it was a No. 4 seed that took the
title; with Osan Air Base defeating the
Humphreys Lady Dawgs, the regu-
lar season No. 1, in the “if-necessary”
game.
Casey won two of its three games by
the mercy rule, topping Humphreys
No. 2, 18-0, in the quarterfinals and
Daegu Garrison, 18-0, in the champi-
onship game. Their only close game
was in the Winner’s Bracket Finals,
where Casey prevailed, 27-20, to make
it to the finals.
Daegu was knocked into the Los-
er’s Bracket Friday night, falling to
Humphreys No. 2. Daegu fought back
through the Loser’s Bracket by nipping
Osan, 16-14, Humphreys No. 2, 14-12,
and Humphreys No. 1, 27-21, in over-
time, to make its way to the finals.
In the women’s tournament, Osan
opened with a 6-0 upset of Humphreys
No. 1, and followed that with a 6-0 vic-
tory over Humphreys No. 2 – the top
two seeds in the four-team tourna-
ment.
Humphreys No. 1 beat Red Cloud
Garrison, 12-7, and Humphreys No.
2, 23-16, to reach the finals and then
forced the tournament into the “if”
game with a 7-6 victory in the finals.
Humphreys No. 1 entered the “if”
game without it’s quarterback and
another top player as a result of a
bench-clearing brawl with four min-
utes remaining in the finals – a fight
that resulted into two ejections for
Humphreys and one for Osan. Under
tournament rules, ejected players have
to sit out the next game.
Osan finally got its offense un-
leashed in this game, scoring 25 points
and holding Humphreys to a dozen.
This is the second year for the Post-
Level Flag and Powder Puff football
league, and Lonnie Herring, the USAG
Humphreys and Area III sports direc-
tor, said he was happy with the growth
of the program.
“I would still like to get more instal-
lations involved – especially in Powder
Puff,” he said, “and maybe that will
happen in time. Right now, though, we
have a very competitive program with
a lot of men and women involved.” x

Iron Horse Soldier closer to dream

By 1st Lt. Austin Liu
6-52 Air Defense Artillery
SUWON AIR BASE — When
Sgt. Jeffrey Matthews first won a silver
medal at the prestigious U.S. Army Na-
tional Culinary Arts Competition, at
Fort Lee, Va., in 2007, he felt that was
the defining moment of his life.
As he held the medal in his hands,
standing in front of the media spot-
light, in front of some of the nation’s
toughest culinary judges from the
American Culinary Federation, he felt
a sense of accomplishment not unlike
those experienced by the world-class
athletes at the Olympics’ closing cere-
mony. After all, he had only been in the
Army for one year and he was already
making a name for himself.
“I recall that it was the proudest mo-
ment of my life,” said Matthews, “but,
at the same time, the fighter in me also
knew that it was not the end and my
heart would not be content until I go
back to win the gold.”
Matthews first discovered his life-
long passion of cooking when he
was 17. A native of Shreveport, La., a
state known for its vibrant cuisine, he
learned from the best of the best, his
mother.
“I learned from my mother the art
of cooking with your heart and cook-
ing without inhibition,” he said. “I am
not afraid to try new ingredients or add
a bit of adventure to my style of cook-
ing.”
It is this creativity, combined with Sergeant Jeffrey Matthews, currently assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery

Fire safety precautions help reduce disaster

USAG Humphreys Public Affairs
HUMPHREYS GARRISON — Each year, pre-
ventable fires occur during the holiday season, and
according to officials at the Humphreys Fire Station,
by heeding some of the following precautionary tips,
people can greatly reduce their chances of becoming
a holiday fire casualty:
Maintain your holiday lights. Check lights for
frayed wires, bare spots, gaps in the insulation, bro-
ken or cracked sockets and excessive kinking or wear
before putting them up. If you find these problems –
do not repair them – get new ones.
Use only lighting or other electrically powered
decorations listed by an approved testing labora-
tory (UL/CE/FM/TuV/KE are some) depending on
the country and voltage. Also, do not forget to wear
gloves or wash hands immediately after inspecting
the lights. Lead dust issues continue to plague inex-
pensive holiday lights.
Don’t overload electrical outlets. No more than
three light strands should be linked together unless
the directions indicate otherwise. Make sure to check
the wires; they should not be warm to the touch.
Check them each hour the first day and then before
you turn them off each day thereafter.
Do not leave holiday lights on unattended. When
you go to bed or go out, so do the lights.
Use only nonflammable decorations. All decora-
tions should be nonflammable or flame retardant
and placed away from heat vents and radiators. Ar-
tificial trees are great, as long as they are flame re-
tardant.
Don’t block exits. Ensure that trees and other holi-
day decorations are kept as far from exits as possible.
In the event of fire, time is of the essence.
Avoid using lit candles. The incidence of candle
fires is four times higher during December than dur-
ing other months. If you are authorized to use candles
in your home, make sure they are in stable holders
and place them where they cannot be easily knocked
over. Never leave the house with candles burning.
Cooking is the top cause of holiday fires. The
most common culprit is food that’s left unattended.
It’s easy to get distracted; take a pot holder with you
when you leave the kitchen as a reminder that you
have something on the stove. Make sure to keep a
kitchen fire extinguisher that’s rated for all types of
fires, and check that smoke detectors are working.
For more information about fire safety, call 753-
6175. x

Annual AFAP Conference places Area IV interests on the table
By Mary Grimes
USAG Daegu Public Affairs
DAEGU GARRISON — U.S. Army
Garrison Daegu held its annual Army
Family Action Plan Conference at the
Camp Walker Chapel, and the Evergreen
Club Nov. 18-23.
This year’s event, which was hosted by
USAG Daegu Army Community Service
(ACS), boasted a commendable turnout
of delegates, with a myriad of topics
brought to the table.
More than 100 community supporters
attended the conference, functioning as
AFAP delegates, Subject Matter Experts
(SMEs), facilitators, transcribers,
recorders, issue support personnel,
and observers. There was also a strong
command leadership presence, with
Col. Kathleen Gavle, Commander,
USAG Daegu providing the event’s
opening and closing remarks.
According to Okyong West, ACS
information referral program manager,
who assisted in coordinating this year’s
conference, AFAP delegates represented
a cross-section of the USAG Daegu and
Area IV community.
“ The delegate population was
comprised of Soldiers, civilians, retirees,
family members, as well as KATUSA
personnel. Our working groups were
developed into four areas; Family
Support, Youth, Force Support and
Entitlements, and Medical and Dental.
This breakdown ensured practically all
aspects of the community interests and
concerns were included,” she said.
In preparation for the AFAP
Conference, SME training was held at
the Camp Henry ACS Nov. 18. Delegate
training was held during that same
timeframe, at the Evergreen Club.
West said, “With the necessary training
completed, the USAG Daegu community
submitted a total of 27 issues to the AFAP
Conference working group. The topics

such topics as customer service, and
emergency travel.”
AC S E m p l o y m e n t R e a d i n e s s
Program Manager, LaVita Vincent,
who also assisted in coordinating this
year’s AFAP conference, explained the
challenge confronting the workgroups.
“The working groups began by voting
on four of the most valuable services in
the community, along with the top six
active AFAP issues,” Vincent said. “The
individual groups then prioritized and
discussed all the issues on the table, and
came up with what they regarded as the
top two most significant areas.”
West called the USAG Daegu AFAP a
great indication of how supportive and
intuitive the community is regarding
those quality of life issues that impact
so greatly on their well-being, both now
and in the future.
“Across the Army, AFAP is considered
among many, to be a quality of life
initiative that isn’t taken lightly. It
continues to garner strong support from
Army leadership from all walks,” she said.
Hoping to further educate the
community on AFAP, West provided
the following DoD- generated facts and
statistics.
How AFAP Works
Installations and local levels hold
annual AFAP Conferences where
representatives of the entire community
meet to identify, develop, and prioritize
issues they believe are important to
maintain a good standard of living. About
90 percent of AFAP issues are retained
and worked at a local level, resulting in
ongoing community improvements.
Some issues are applicable beyond the
local level. These are sent to mid-level
conferences at regional levels. Issues
beyond the scope of the mid-level,
requiring a higher level of authority, are
USAG-D • PAGE 25
http://daegu.korea.army.mil
forwarded to the HQDA AFAP conference.
The goals of the conference are to provide
information on the implementation of
AFAP issues and identify and prioritize
for the Army leadership those Soldier and
Family issues that reflect the Army needs.
Feedback from the HQDA AFAP
Conference and issues already in the
Plan are provided in the AFAP post-
conference brochure, the General Officer
Steering Committee Summary, and the
HQDA AFAP Issue Update Books. These
publications are distributed Army wide
and are available on the website www.
myarmyonesource.com.
AFAP provides the Army community
a “voice” in shaping their standards of
living and identifying issues related to
the current environment.
Proven Results:
• 667 issues: 86 active; 458 completed;
120 unattainable; 3 combined
• 61 percent of the active HQDA AFAP
issues impact all Services
• 117 legislative changes; 162 Department
of Defense or Department of the Army
policy changes; 178 improved programs
or services
• Leaders trust/support AFAP — provide
real-time information that enables
commanders to respond more rapidly
to resolve problems, implement good
ideas and guides policy formation.
USAG Daegu coordinators of this
year’s AFAP conference called the event,
an overall success, with Gavle thanking
everyone for their support—presenting
volunteers supporting the conference,
with a certificate of appreciation.
“My special thanks goes to those
of you who volunteered—the SME’s,
DPTMS, IMO and the various units
and individuals, and helped make
this USAG Daegu AFAP conference a
success,” Gavle said.
Added West, “We think we’ve made
some headway in identifying what the
interests and concerns of our USAG
Daegu and Area IV community are.
These issues will be among those
addressed at next year’s Army wide AFAP
Conference that will be held in the U.S.
The amazing thing about AFAP is that
you never know if what was addressed
in your region conference, winds up
not only being much like those from
other locations, but could potentially
influence a change in Army policy, and
therefore enhance community well-
being and quality of life.” x

Remembering the attack on Pearl Harbor
Editor’s notes: On Dec. 8, 1941,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
delivered his Pearl Harbor “Day of
Infamy” speech to a joint session
o f Co n g r e s s . T h a t s p e e c h , i n
remembrance of the anniversary
of the attack on Pearl Harbor, is
provided below:
Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker,
members of the Senate and the House
of Representatives:
Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date
which will live in infamy – the United
States of America was suddenly and
deliberately attacked by naval and air
forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with
that nation, and, at the solicitation of
Japan, was still in conversation with its
government and its Emperor looking
toward the maintenance of peace in
the Pacific.
Indeed, one hour after Japanese air
squadrons had commenced bombing
in the American island Oahu, the
Japanese Ambassador to the United
States and his colleague delivered to
our Secretary of State a formal reply to
a recent American message. And, while
this reply stated that it seemed useless
to continue the existing diplomatic
negotiations, it contained no threat or
hint of war or of armed attack.
Story of Healing through Prayer: take time to count your blessings
By Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Milton Johnson
USAG Daegu Garrison Chaplain
DAEGU GARRISON — On Dec.
6, USAG, Daegu Commander, Kathleen
Gavle attended the Christmas Tree
Lighting Ceremony at Camp Walker’s
Soldiers Memorial Chapel. When she
pushed the switched to turn the power
on it was amazing to see the lights come
on amidst voices of many children and
the sound of scores of families singing
Christmas carols and holiday songs.
Although I cannot sing - it was fun
watching everybody else sing. It was also
a lot of fun trying to hum the tune of
each Christmas carol as the community
choir blended their voices together in
melodious harmony.
As I watched the crowd, I couldn’t
help but think of how blessed we are as a
nation and a people for the many favors
that God bestowed on each of us. We
are all tremendously blessed and – what
a Christmas it would be if each of us
took time this year to attend a church
service during this season to reflect on
these blessings and give God thanks for
everyone of them.
This week I want to share a story
with you that reminds me of my
blessings and challenges me to be
thankful for the reason for this season.
Listen to the following words of a
grateful military spouse:
After serving in the United States
Army for three years, my husband was
deployed to Haiti on a humanitarian
mission in April 2004.
Although I wasn’t aware of it at the
time, about a month after he’d left, I
began to harbor resentment about a lot
of things. I was angry that the Army had
sent my husband thousands of miles
away. I even resented that my husband
had thought that it was a good idea to join
the Army in the first place. On top of this,
occasional everyday incidents started to
It will be recorded that the distance
of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious
that the attack was deliberately planned
many days or even weeks ago. During
the intervening time the Japanese
Government has deliberately sought
to deceive the United States by false
statements and expressions of hope for
continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian
Islands has caused severe damage to
American naval and military forces.
I regret to tell you that very many
American lives have been lost. In
addition, American ships have been
reported torpedoed on the high seas
between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday the Japanese Government
also launched an attack against Malaya.
Last night Japanese forces attacked
Hong Kong.
Last night Japanese forces attacked
Guam.
Last night Japanese forces attacked
the Philippine Islands.
Last night the Japanese attacked
Wake Island.
And this morning the Japanese
attacked Midway Island.
Japan has therefore undertaken a
surprise offensive extending throughout
the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday
and today speak for themselves. The
annoy me. For example, on my way to
pick up my daughter at school, I would
get angry at other drivers who weren’t
paying full attention to their driving. This
was one of many disturbances in my day.
Soon I started getting severe
headaches and had difficulty taking
care of our home. A good friend offered
to come during the day to help me with
our young son, and I was grateful for
her help. But finally I realized that I
needed to make a decision—either to
have Christian Science treatment, or go
to a doctor. I was brought up in Christian
Science and had had many wonderful
healings as a child and young adult
through prayer. My friend, though, was
pretty persuasive in urging me to have
the situation checked out medically to
see what the problem might be.
Reluctantly, I made an appointment
with a doctor. The tests he ran showed
a tumor at the base of my brain. He
then told me to return two days later
to discuss the treatment that would be
available to me.
Later that evening, I called my mother,
THE MORNING CALM
people of the United States have
already formed their opinions and well
understand the implications to the very
life and safety of our nation.
As Commander-in-Chief of the
Army and Nav y I have directed
that all measures be taken for our
defense, that always will our whole
nation remember the character of the
onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take
us to overcome this premeditated
invasion, the American people,
in their righteous might, will win
through to absolute victory. I believe
that I interpret the will of the Congress
and of the people when I assert that we
will not only defend ourselves to the
uttermost but will make it very certain
that this form of treachery shall never
again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking
at the fact that our people, our territory
and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces,
with the unbounding determination of
our people, we will gain the inevitable
triumph. So help us God.

States and the Japanese Empire. x
who is a Christian Science practitioner,
and poured out the series of events that
had occurred that day. One of the things
I remember her saying to me, in a firm
tone I wasn’t accustomed to from my
mother, was simply that I had a lot of
studying and praying to do.
As I hung up the phone, I found myself
resenting that my mother hadn’t sounded
as supportive as I’d expected, but I had no
doubt that she was going to pray for me.
I then went upstairs to tuck my
daughter into bed. She asked me what
was wrong, and when I told her I had a
headache, she very matter-of-factly said,
“There is no spot where God is not.” Right
at that moment, I realized that my six-
year-old was praying, and I wasn’t.
So I went to my room and decided
that it was really time to take a stand and
to start by facing all the angry thoughts
I’d been regularly indulging, and replace
them with the spiritual truths I’d learned
in Sunday School and in my study of
Christian Science.
The first idea that came to me was that
I needed to be grateful for the blessings
that had come to our family since my
husband joined the Army—for the many
wonderful people we’d met, the places
we’d lived in that had been so perfect for
us, all that we were gaining and learning.
Now firmly on my way in prayer, I
turned to some notes and references
I’d saved through the years, and found
a letter that Mary Baker Eddy had
written to James Neal, an early Christian
Science worker, published in one of her
biographies. She stated: “Pray daily,
never miss praying, no matter how
often: ‘Lead me not into temptation’,
—scientifically rendered,—Lead me not
to lose sight of strict purity, clean pure
thoughts; let all my thoughts and aims
be high, unselfish, charitable, meek,—
spiritually minded. With this altitude of

DAEGU GARRISON — In the past,
whenever I attempted to communicate
verbally with American, I used to be
faced with great difficulties. Honestly,
I thought I spoke English fairly
well, and could make Americans
understand me. That is, until I
realized my ignorance. First, I am
not a native speaker. What is left for
me to say, except I learned English
by rote memory from my elementary
school days continuing upwards for a
total of about 10 years. Just grab any
Korean who passes by and ask “How
are you?” They will most likely answer
automatically with “I am fine thank
you, and you?” This is a problem for
not only me, but for most Korean’s.
I might also add, we don’t have
many chances to meet and talk with
foreigners. That means, when we meet
foreigner, we can’t help but be afraid
of them. Too often, our experience
in meeting or encountering them
is limited. However, this problem is
not exclusively for Koreans, but also
Americans who might have a Korean
spouse. Quite possibly people who
fall into this category, might think
Community Children to host Christmas Play at Camp Walker Chapel
By Yoon Bo-weon
USAG Daegu Public Affairs
DAEGU GARRISON — With
Christmas fast approaching, many
people can be seen out and about the
USAG Daegu community preparing
for the holiday festivities. One place, in
particular, is the Camp Walker Chapel.
Everybody knows that Christmas just
isn’t Christmas without a play. So, on
Dec. 22, 6 p.m., volunteers and children
from around the community will bring
to you, this year’s holiday Christmas play.
When the call went out for participants,
things may have gotten off to a slow
start, but soon things changed, and it
really wasn’t that difficult finding the
kids and the costumes that would be
needed. According to Chaplain Shay L.
Worthy, 498th Combat Sustainment
Support Brigade, Camp Carroll, “I went
around asking various people if there
was anything going on in the community
for the children. I didn’t get much of a
response, so I went to my wife Donna, and
asked her to check around to see what she
could find out. However, no one seemed
to know of anything.
“So, along with my three daughters,
she put together a team of children,
including 3-year-old Xander Perry, who
will be one of the sheep, and 15-year-old
Sarah Worthy, who will be one of our
Blessings
thought your mind is losing materiality
and gaining spirituality and this is the
state of mind that heals the sick” (Mary
Baker Eddy: Christian Healer, p. 171).
I realized I’d done none of that. I had
not been praying daily, I was not having
pure thoughts, I was not aiming to be
“high, unselfish, charitable, meek.” And
right then, my perspective changed. I was
suddenly open and receptive to a more
spiritual outlook.
The phone rang, and it was my
husband, calling from Haiti. I told him
USAG DAEGU
they need to improve their English
conversation skill level. If that is the
case, then the ACS English Language
class might be one way of solving their
problem.
Every Tuesday, English conversation
class is held at ACS, Camp Henry. This
class is not for grammar or for sentence
structure, but literary conversation.
To help the students enhance their
English language, or to maybe help
them work towards participating in
English conversations, the class is
given by a dedicated instructor such
as Annette Martinez.
“I basically make up the plan myself
depending on the student’s needs. I
have several different students that
come in with different levels of English
abilities. So, I try to customize the plan
for the individual student. So a student
doesn’t have to worry even if he or she
has a very low English proficiency. All
that person will need is just the will and
a passion for learning English. That’s it.”
When I visited the class for this
interview, I encountered one Korean
woman trying to talk with the instructor
in English. The woman sometimes made
mistakes. However, she seemed to be
such a focused and determined worker.
Her goal, as it turned out, was to make
narrators. These children, along with a
wonderful group of parents and other
children from around the community
bring what we hope will be a wonderful
holiday Christmas event.”
The play seeks to bring a little bit of
home and the holidays to those who
can’t be back home with their loved
ones this year. “This Christmas activity

everything that had happened that day.
And then I said that I just really wanted
to go home. He replied, “I thought I called
you at home.” But what I meant was
that I’d realized I hadn’t been seeing our
family as being “at home” in God’s love
and care, guided by His infinite wisdom,
provided for in every way by His grace.
As we continued to talk, for the first time
I saw the spiritual purpose underlying
what had worked out for us. I could see
beauty in so many aspects of our lives. I
felt surrounded by good from God. My

who actually had persuaded her to
join this class. During the one hour
of instruction, she reviewed various
work sheets--reading a number of
paragraphs, and holding a conversation
with the instructor.

Program Manager, said “The most

speaks to people on a level that can be
enjoyed and understood by anyone of
any age about our Savior’s birth,” said
Donna Worthy. “I think those who come
out to see the play, will leave feeling
quite pleased.
“ We have nearly 20 children
participating and filling the various
traditional roles. We also have adults
husband was also very supportive, and I
knew he was praying for me as well.
I continued my prayers through the
night. The next day, I experienced a
fresh sense of relief. All the abnormal
symptoms had vanished—the fear, the
anger, the persistent headache—and I
felt as if I was functioning normally again.
The next day, I returned to the doctor’s
office—but not for the treatment. Another
set of tests was performed, and this time,
there was no tumor or any evidence of it
having ever been there.

you become.”

Of course, there are those individuals

We’re hoping the community will come
out in full force, and support the efforts

season with us.” x

I’m so grateful for this healing,
which has remained permanent. I also
became more patient and forgiving.
Above all, I took away from this
experience the importance of praying
daily, and staying open to pure and
loving thoughts from God.
Please friends – take time this holiday
season to count your blessings. May you
experience a flood of joy and appreciation
for what God has done – is doing – and
will continue to do for you and your family
in the days ahead!! Happy Holidays. x
