Weekend recreation for hundreds of Americans, Koreans filled with combative sports, demonstrations
By Walter T. Ham IV 8th Army Public Affairs
SEONGNAM, Korea What has hundreds of legs, two tails, a protective outer layer and can run down suspects, shoot targets, find bombs, break boards and speak two languages? The 10th Annual Airsoft Games held here Saturday. Hosted by the TANGO Security Force on the outskirts of Seoul, more than 240 American and South Korean military family members and students from the surrounding community took part in the Airsoft Games. Masked by camouflage and shielded by protective gear, the combatants engaged in epic Airsoft gun battles, tactically maneuvering on the mountainous terrain and pelting each other with plastic pellets. The military participants were from Special Troops Battalion-Koreas TANGO Security Force and the Republic of Korea Armys 172nd Infantry Battalion. In the capture the flag competition, the first round was won by the combined TANGO Security Force and Angels Korean Airsoft team. The second round of the competition went to the combined Republic of Korea Armys 172nd Infantry Battalion and Korean Gamers team. The participants also got to see some authentic U.S. military hardware, including a 718th Ordnance Company Explosive Ordnance Disposal display and various types of automatic weapons. And the action didnt stop on the pellet-covered field of battle. Following a Korean and American

YONGSAN ARMY GARRISON American Forces Network Korea will conduct a test of its over-the-air broadcast of the AFN Prime Pacific channel only throughout the Republic of Korea today and Saturday. The test will temporarily interrupt TV programming with a code and an e-mail address displayed only. AFNK is seeking viewer support by asking viewers to write to the e-mail address provided, informing AFNK of the code and their location. Codes will
be changed every few hours over the 48-hour period, and viewers should send an e-mail each time they see a new code. The purpose of the test is to attempt to determine how many households in Korea view AFN Prime Pacific using the OTA broadcast, instead of using the Direct-To-
Home satellite service or an on-base cable service. DTH and on-base cable viewers will not see the codes or experience any disruption of programming. AFNKs OTA signal will be terminated Dec. 31, 2012. Beginning Jan. 1, 2013, the only way to receive AFN television services will be by DTH or on-base cable.

Pictured here are the tombs of An Changho and his wife, Lee Hyeryon in Dosan Park. Dosan Park was built in 1973 to commemorate Dosan An Changho's patriotism and his achievements as an educator. An Changho was a Korean independence activist, reformer, educator and politician. He organized and led the Korean-American immigrant community in the United States, with Heungsadan (Young Korean Academy) and Gukminhoe. He was also a key member of the founding provisional government of the Republic of Korea from April 1919. The statue of An Changho is the central feature of the park, circled by walking trails. Nearby office workers come here to take walks during their lunch break. The park is open free for everyone and is very popular among overseas visitors.

Institute of Korean Royal Cuisine The Institute of Korean Royal Cuisine is the academy that preserves and recreates both traditional local Korean cuisine and the long tradition of royal cuisine, which has been designated Important Intangible Cultural Heritage No. 38. The foundation of the institute was based on the skills and mastery of Han Heesun (1889-1972), the very last head of cuisine court lady who served the last royal family of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). The institute is open to anyone who wants to experience traditional Korean cuisine through various classes, such as Korean cultural food classes on Saturdays. Korean royal cuisine was designated as Important Intangible Cultural Heritage No 38 by the Korean government. The skills and techniques of royal cuisine preserved by the Institute of Korean Royal Cuisine have been passed down from the late Han Heesun, who was the head of cuisine court lady serving Gojong, the last emperor of the Joseon Dynasty, and the first generation professional title-holder, to Hwang Hyeseong, the second generation professional title-holder. The institute boasts a justifiable reputation as the true heir of genuine traditional Korean royal cuisine. As the leading authority on traditional Korean royal cuisine, Han Heesun, the last head of cuisine court lady of the Joseon Dynasty, established the Institute of Korean Royal Cuisine. In 1971, recognising the cultural importance of Korean food, the government designated it Important Intangible Cultural Heritage No 38. After the demise of Han Heesun in 1972, who had been the first generation professional title-holder of the royal cuisine, her mastery was succeeded by Hwang Hyeseong, and then Han Bokryeo and Jeong Gilga. Since its foundation, the institute has dedicated itself to promoting the importance of traditional royal cuisine, as well as passing down genuine Korean food culture. The institute consists of three main halls: Lecture Hall; Resource Room; and Research Room. The lecture room is equipped not only with cookware but also advanced audiovisual facilities to provide systematic and accessible lectures to the audience. It also has a cooking training room offering various cookery classes, including royal cuisine, Pyebaek food preparation course (special food for the bride and grooms families by the newly wedded couple after their wedding), and ceremonial cuisine for ancestral rites. Both the resource room and research room provide a wide range of media materials of traditional Korean cuisine and general references, as well as history of both local and North Korean cuisines and related materials. The Institute of Korean Royal Cuisine offers various lectures and classes to the public for the purpose of promoting the importance of Korean traditional cuisine, and passing on Korean cultural heritage to the next generation. The courses are varied for both occasional and ceremonial types of food, including royal cuisine courses, ceremonial cuisine courses and a course in Hanjeongsik (a full-course Korean meal with an array of savory side dishes). In order to promote the importance and benefits of Korean cultural food around the world, the institute offers foreign visitors the chance to experience Korean food culture through hands-on activities, such as various cooking programs and cookery courses. The programs are always open on Saturdays; for more information call (02)744-9092 or visit www.food.co.kr/ english/01.html (English). To get there take subway Line 1 to Jonggak Station, take a shuttle bus No.1 (get off at laundry site) from Exit YMCA. x

Being cool comes at a cost

By Col. William Huber Yongsan Garrison Commander
YONGSAN GARRISON The USAG Yongsan air conditioning season officially started on May 30. While you may be tempted to crank up the A/C, the garrison is committed to good stewardship of the Korean peninsula and that includes responsible energy consumption. Conservative energy use not only benefits the environment and the economy; but more importantly, the Armys reputation. In this new fiscal reality, money is tight. We have all been forced to reevaluate our budgets and spend smarter. Cooling during the summer months consumes up to 70 percent of Yongsans energy resources. You can help Yongsan stay lean and green by following these simple tips: Use a fan in conjunction with the A/C to help circulate cool air more effectively Turn off everything not in use such as lights, televisions and computers all these items add heat to the room and force the A/C to work harder When cooking, keep lids on pots or better yet use a microwave instead Close curtains or shades on south and west facing windows to reflect heat away from the house

Accreditation with commendation

By Kevin Jackson kevin.b.jackson1@korea.army.mil
CAMP CASEY Area I Army Community Service recently achieved a milestone when it received full accreditation with commendation as a command-sponsored area for its wellness and readiness programs and services from the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command. At the time they told us we had passed accreditation, we said wonderful, said Linda Hough, Area I Army Community Service director. Everyone was so elated that they were standing up and cheering because we knew that our hard work really paid off. Im just so proud of (my staff). The six-person FMWRC inspection team based at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, visited Warrior Country May 9-12 and conducted a top to bottom inspection of the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I Army Community Service Center. The inspection ensures the garrison program is adhering to Department of the Army, Defense Department and federal requirements, and accredits the ACS for three years. ACS was exempt from some of the more than 200 standards in the past because it had few commandsponsored families. That changed December 2008 when U.S. Forces Korea announced that commandsponsored positions would increase across the peninsula. The FMWRC team used a comprehensive checklist that delved into ACS management, the Family Advocacy Program, Exceptional Family Member Program, Employment Readiness, Financial Readiness, Relocation Services, Mobilization/ Deployment Readiness, Volunteer Program, Army Family Team Building and the Army Family Action Plan. Some of the areas required checking records from the past year and even as far back as the last inspection. It also took a close look at program support provided by the U.S. Army Health Clinic, Casey Elementary School, Child, Youth and School Services and other organizations in the community. Those folks in the community helped us actually meet and exceed the standards, Hough said. Achieving the accreditation was not without its challenges. Hough and her team moved into a larger newly renovated facility in February and battled through staff shortages all while expanding its programs and services to meet the ever increasing need of newly arriving families. ACS put in countless hours since April 2010 preparing for the accreditation. I told my staff with this accreditation standard, it put us on the map, Hough said. Even with new hurdles and new mission that you can
Warrior Country Army Community Service Center achieves historic milestone

accomplish it, but not to rest on our laurels. Its like a beginning. Between the end of 2008 when tour normalization took a giant step forward on the peninsula through 2010, Hough said Area I ACS information and referral contacts had increased from 27,896 to 67,378. Vidale Herrington, spouse of Spc. Randal Herring, Headquarter and Headquarters Battery, 210th Fires Brigade, is one of the customers who has routinely used ACS services. She is raising a 10-month-old son, 5-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son, and has actively participated in the New Parent Support Program. I love it, she said about NPSP and the other programs and services that ACS provides. It makes me feel great to know that they are there when I need them. Its hard when youre away from family. The New Parent Support Program has been a godsend to me. Miss (Madina Jubaban, NPSP coordinator) is very helpful, encouraging and understanding. While customers are pleased, Hough said the ACS focus now turns to the assessments that are an important part of the accreditation process because they ensure the center is meeting the needs of Soldiers, civilian employees and families who are entitled to its services. But even with six accreditations under her belt as an ACS director, this one clearly struck a chord with Hough. It is the best teambuilding tool, she said, because we all had the goal in mind that we wanted to pass accreditation. We have now proven that we can accomplish what our bigger centers and more established centers can also. x

By Sgt. Michael J. Dator, 2nd Infantry Division Public Affairs
JIPYEONG-RI The Republic of Koreas 20th Mechanized Infantry Division hosted a memorial ceremony for Korean War veterans from the U.S., France and the ROK, May 27 to commemorate the Battle of Chipyeong-ni in the small village of present day Jipyeong-ri. The Battle of Chipyeong-ni was a pivotal moment in the history of the Korean War. It took place Feb.13-15, 1951 in a village approximately 35 miles east of Seoul. Some historians have come to call it the Gettysburg of the Korean War. It marked the turning point that provided United Nations troops with much needed hope and optimism. During the battle, the 4,500 Soldiers composed of the U.S. Armys 23rd Infantry Regimental Combat Team, the French Army Infantry Battalion, and the 6th ROK Division found themselves on low-ground and surrounded by 25,000 soldiers from the Chinese Peoples Volunteer Army. Over the course of two nights, the Chinese bombarded U.N. forces with waves of attacks. Through sheer determinations and resolve, U.N. forces were able to hold their position and deplete communist forces long enough for reinforcements to arrive and force the Chinese to retreat. The victory was the driving force that eventually led to the start of peace negotiations in July 1951. Chipyeong-ri was a significant moment in our collective histories, said Brig. Gen. Kelly J. Thomas, the assistant division commander for support of the 2nd Infantry Division. We will not forget the lessons of

the past as long as we can continue to honor the memory of those who came before us and learn from their example. During the ceremony local Korean school children watched attentively as representatives from each country laid wreaths to the slow-paced, minorchord laden music of the ROK 20th Mechanized Infantry Division Band. Some veterans gave a tearful salute to the monuments commemorating those that died. Some call the Korean War the Forgotten War, said Korean War veteran and Gilbert, Pa. native, John F. Howard Jr. Its nice to see recognition for a period in history many folks dont know about. After the ceremony, veterans answered questions from active duty Soldiers assigned to the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, based out of Camp Humphreys. For one Soldier, the memorial was a lesson in history and a chance to pay respects to the Soldiers that came before her. It was an emotional and eyeopening experience, said Pfc. Andrea L.

Second to None recognizes Warrior U students

CAMP RED CLOUD It is the responsibility of each 2nd Infantry Division Soldier to stay motivated, physically fit and always be ready to fight tonight. During their time in Korea more than 200 Soldiers pushed themselves to not only be physically fit, but intellectually fit as well. These Soldiers were recognized at the Warrior University Recognition Ceremony held at Camp Caseys Carey Fitness Center May 26. Each of them completed five or more classes with at least a 3.0 grade point average and were nominated by their command team. Maj. Gen. Michael S. Tucker, 2nd ID commander, and Dr. Susan C. Aldridge, University of Maryland University College president, participated in the event to recognize students for their academic excellence and dedication to lifelong learning. The selections were based on the Total Warrior concept that included grades, physical training test scores and weapons qualifications, among other factors. I know the kind of dedication, selfdiscipline, and motivation it takes to open those books up every night after a long day of work, and I can say that because Ive worn the rank on your uniform and walked in your shoes, Tucker said to the students. You all are an example for your Families and everyone who knows you. Be proud of your accomplishment, because you have achieved something that no one will ever be able to take away from you. Warrior University opened January 2010 for all 2nd ID personnel. The Warrior Division has encouraged Soldiers to use the program to achieve their educational goals. Since the program started, more than 5,500 Soldiers have taken advantage of the program, and those numbers continue to rise. Commanders at every level have been supporting their Soldiers by allowing them time off from work to attend the programs classes every Tuesday and Thursday. Warrior University is one of the most successful academic programs, said Aldridge. It provides a great opportunity and environment for Soldiers to receive education while they are serving. I am so proud to be part of the partnership, and Im also very honored to be invited here to recognize all of the students who worked so hard. The collaboration between the Army and the universities here brought more faculties and staff
here, along with expanded computer labs and testing centers. We are looking forward to offering more classes for Soldiers. While all the Soldiers at the event were recognized for their efforts, one helicopter mechanic from D Company, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment was named as the top Warrior scholar. It seemed like no one was tracking my effort, studying all weekend while most of the Soldiers were enjoying their time off post, but now I feel like all my hard work is paying off, said Spc. Emmanuel Adu-Gyamfi. I always wanted to have a Master of Business Administration and the Army gave me the opportunity. Warrior University is a really good program since it not only improves one as an individual, but the Army as an organization. Students will apply the knowledge they earned from class in their work. The Bronx, N.Y., native added that the basic leadership and management skills he learned while earning his MBA have helped him be a better squad leader. I recommended the program to all of the newcomers in my company and seven Soldiers have actually enrolled as students, he said. I hope many Soldiers can utilize the great opportunity they are given. x

Hanson pool opening makes splash

Camp Casey kicks off summer, honors Asian-Pacific heritage month
By Pfc. Choi Jung-hwan 2nd Infantry Division Public Affairs
CAMP CASEY Camp Caseys annual May Fest was held May 27 and marked the grand re-opening of Hanson pool. After seven months of construction, Hanson Swimming Pool was re-opened to the Area I Soldiers and Families. May Fest is an annual event but this year, its certainly more special because of the brand new pool we have, said Lt. Col. Richard Fromm, U.S. Army Garrison Casey commander. The pool we used to have was not suitable for children because it was too deep for them to swim in, Fromm said. We started planning the new pool two years ago, and the construction began last year November, The additions of a shallow pool and water slides for children will provide a great opportunity for Families to hang out, said Marenzo Domingo, entertainment and special events coordinator of the USAG Red Cloud and Area I Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. USAG Humphreys was the only place with a pool suitable for all families, Domingo said. With the fully renovated Hanson pool finally open, Area I has its own pool that is more accommodating for Families. The May Fest was full of events and contests for everyone: a family bazaar, carnival games, a go-kart timed-lap contest, a car model photo shoot and an Asian-Pacific dinner show. May Fest is a perfect opportunity for Families to come out and enjoy something specific to the season, Domingo said. Many Soldiers used May Fest as an opportunity to spend quality time with their spouses and children. Spc. Jonathan Riddle, a Soldier assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 15th Field Artillery, brought his wife, who sold things at the bazaar, and two of his children to the festival. Its awesome, said the Arlington, Texas native. My kids are thoroughly enjoying this festival. They are too young to swim so we needed to find a childrens swimming pool. The new Hanson pool makes it easier for us to go swimming together. I will probably come here with my family at least twice a month this summer. x

The first Asian Pacific American Heritage Week was celebrated in May 1979.

roots that span the globe, but their stories of striving and success are uniquely American. Today, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have a profound impact on our society as leaders in all facets of American life, thriving as athletes and public servants, entrepreneurs and artists. The ceremony kicked off with Lt. Col. Kyle Stokes, Deputy Director for the 175th FMC reading the Presidential Proclamation. After the reading of the Presidential Proclamation, FILAM Yongsan Dance Troupe, the Filipino American dance group, performed a traditional dance called Tinikling. Tinikling is the most popular and best known of the Philippine dances and honored as the Philippine national dance.

speed by skillfully maneuvering between large bamboo poles. Tinikling means bamboo dance in English. Guest speaker for the event was Rear Admiral Peter Gumataotao, Commander U.S. Naval Forces Korea. He introduced himself as a native of Sinajana, Guam. Starting with saying hello in many other languages, Gumataotao then touched on a variety of topics including diversity, leadership, empowerment and beyond. Col. Carolyn Sharpe, Director of the 175th FMC thanked Gumataotao by presenting a replica of a traditional Korean bell. Asian Pacific Islander Americans have been in the United States for over 150 years; however, little is known about their history, said Sharpe. Asian Pacific Islander American affixes a common label to a vast array of ethnic groups. The common American perception tends to lump
all Asians together into one racial group, without distinct ethnic and cultural differences. The term actually identifies individuals from at least 29 different countries, each with a unique historical and cultural heritage of its own. Today Admiral Gumataotao has given us a different perspective on Asian Pacific Americans and his experiences within the Military. He exemplifies how understanding of other cultures can enhance our Military readiness and build teams. It also shows how diversity can make us a better organization when we interact and work well with others, she added.

E-mail storage to increase by 50 fold

Move to DoD network prevents need to reestablish Outlook accounts after PCS
By Sgt. Alexis Ramos 1st Signal Brigade Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON Before the end of 2011 Army e-mail users will transition to a Department of Defense Enterprise Email Service managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency. Enterprise e-mail will be made available to all DoD organizations, with the U.S. Army being the first organization to migrate to this service. The first migration phase started in February and included the Army CIO/ G6, NETCOM/9th Signal Command and 7th Signal Command. Currently 53,000 users have migrated, with all U.S. Army units projected to be on the new service by Dec. 31. Army in Korea is scheduled to begin the user migration process in September. This includes all USFK personnel receiving e-mail services from the Army. Instead of accessing e-mail through local e-mail servers at each installation, users will reach through the network to access e-mail services from DISA data centers located throughout the world. This new approach provides significant capability improvements for all e-mail users, explained Michael Weston, information technology specialist with the 1st Signal Brigades Communications Enterprise Service Office-Korea. After migration, users will no longer have to delete an account when departing one duty station and re-establish a new account at the next station. With this capability, users will be able to access e-mails between duty stations from any authorized device. User accounts will also remain valid and follow users throughout their careers. In addition, according to Weston, Users will gain access to 3.9 million other users on the DoD Global Address List. Currently address lists for Army in Korea users are limited to only users on Army domains. The biggest benefit, though, from a user standpoint is e-mail storage. All users will get 4 GB of e-mail storage a 50-fold increase as opposed to the current standard in Korea of only 75 MB. Users will be able to store a lot more e-mails on the server. They can also have access to these e-mails from a home PC using Outlook Web Access with a users Common Access Card, Weston said. For the Army, the benefit of changing to a DISA-managed e-mail service is the savings it will produce. Its projected to reduce the per-user cost from $120 to $40 per year. This will save a projected $52 million this year, with will also need to free up 3 GB of space on their hard drive. Lastly, the user will need to reduce their e-mail server footprint on the network down to 50MB for the migration itself. In order to reduce a users e-mail server footprint, users have to make a Personal Storage Table folder (reason for the 3 GB of hard drive space) on their workstation or server for data and files; if the user doesnt already have a PST folder, explained Weston. All current e-mail and calendar data will be transferred to the users new enterprise e-mail as well. The Army is utilizing a tool that can migrate approximately 1,000 users per day, said Weston. Migrations will occur at night, with teams standing by in the morning to support any user who may have experienced a challenge. With all endeavors of this magnitude, a small number of difficulties can be anticipated. However, considering the current success rate and feedback received by the Army CIO/ G6, challenges will be very minimal at best. For any questions or concerns regarding the migration to enterprise e-mail contact your IMO or local Network Enterprise Center. x

an anticipated greater saving in years to follow, said Weston. Before the September migration begins, the user, their Information Management Officer, and their IT personnel will need to ensure their system is prepped for the migration, Weston said. There are a couple small system applications that are required on the users system; installation of these applications, if not already installed, will be transparent to the user. The user

Gates: U.S. will improve engagement in Asia
NEWS
THE MORNING CALM
SINGAPORE The United States will maintain its strong presence and robust military engagement policy in Asia under any circumstances, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said here. In a speech Saturday morning at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual Asia security summit hosted by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Gates said the United States is a Pacific nation, and that requires the United States to sustain its allies while maintaining a robust military engagement and deterrent posture across the Pacific Rim. This is Gates fifth and final speech as defense secretary at the dialogue, as he is retiring at the end of the month. A record 18 defense ministers from around the region attended the conference. The U.S. posture commitment has been a bedrock principle of the United States over the past 50 years, the secretary said, and far from pulling out or retrenching, the United States will demonstrate the flexibility needed to enhance engagement in Asia. America will update its relationships with the nations of the region, develop new capabilities and transform its defense posture to meet todays challenges, he added. The fact is that the breadth and intensity of U.S. engagement in Asia has

grown significantly in recent years, the secretary said, even during a time of economic uncertainty and major military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. U.S. leaders have consulted with Asian leaders often, Gates noted. This trip, for example, marks Gates seventh trip to the region in 18 months. Indeed, one of the most striking and surprising changes Ive observed during my travels to Asia is the widespread desire across the region for stronger military-to-military relationships with the United States much more so than during my last time in government 20 years ago, he said. U.S. engagement in Asia has been guided by a set of enduring principles that have fostered the economic growth and stability of the region, Gates said. These principles, supported by both U.S. major political parties, include free and open commerce; a just international order that emphasizes rights and responsibilities of nations
and fidelity to the rule of law; and open access by all to the global commons of sea, air, space, and now, cyberspace. The principles also embrace resolving conflict without the use of force, he said. American defense engagement from forward-deployed forces to exercises with regional partners will continue to play an indispensable role in the stability of the region, Gates said. The United States commitment to Japan and South Korea is absolute, but America will, in consultation with Japanese and South Korean leaders, modernize basing arrangements, he added. Meanwhile, the secretary said, America will do more and expand into other areas in nontraditional ways. Weve taken a number of steps towards establishing a defense posture across the Asia-Pacific that is more geographically distributed, operationally resilient, and politically sustainable, the secretary said. The military posture proposed will maintain American presence in Northeast Asia while enhancing U.S. presence in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean area, he said. U.S. and Australian officials are examining expanding opportunities for both militaries to train and operate together including alliance arrangements that would allow for more combined defense activities and shared use of facilities, Gates said. x
SOCKOR honors historical unit on Korean Memorial Day

By Capt. Neil Oberlin Special Operations Command Korea
YONGSAN GARRISON Service members from Special Operations Command Korea, known as SOCKOR, attended a Korean Memorial Day ceremony Monday to honor the 8240th Army Unit Association at the Korean National Cemetery. SOCKOR Commander Brigadier General Neil H. Tolley and other distinguished guests laid flowers at the 8240th monument during the ceremony. On Memorial Day every year we remember those who served in the partisan forces, said Mr. Park Sang-Joon the 8240th AU Veterans Association Chairman. The 8240th AU was a Korean Special Operations Unit that conducted unconventional warfare against the North Koreans and the Chinese during the Korean War. Members from this unit volunteered to perform missions behind enemy lines after U.S. Army officials recognized the need. Members of the 8240th conducted airborne, amphibious, and ground infiltration to gather information and conduct combat operations. Advisors from U.S. forces were assigned as trainers of this force and carried on a tradition that started with the Office of Strategic Services in World War II. The 8240th were the precursor to SOCKOR and ROK SWC (ROK Special Warfare Command). Members of the 8240th carried out missions on both the mainland and the off shore islands.
Their missions were extremely dangerous and many of the fighters never made it back to South Korea. All together more than 40,000 individuals fought in the 8240th, which were responsible for the recovery of 14 downed U.S. and British pilots and the identification of enemy forces that aided UN efforts. The indirect effect of the missions conducted by the 8240th was that the North Koreans and Chinese kept over 75,000 of their forces in rear areas and along the shorelines in order to prevent further attacks. The 8240th Veterans Association and SOCKOR recognized the efforts of all the members of the 8240th that served their nation and the United States military. x

NAMYANGJU Adventure travel can be a budget buster, but a short drive to the Mongolia Culture Town here offers an alternative and is an unbeatable bargain. Greeting visitors at the entrance is an imposing statue of Genghis Kahn (1162-1227) the father of Mongolia, who conquered nearly half of Asia. The exhibition hall with its 800 artifacts is a veritable treasure chest of Mongol culture containing kitchenware, clothing from some of the 20 Mongol tribes, musical instruments, ceremonial masks, childrens toys, weapons, tughrik currency and more. Among the most impressive items are a large mural depicting nomads, hunters and a marriage ceremony, and a book chronicling the life of Genghis Kahn. Tour guide Rinchinbadam Riki Jamsranjav said Kahns image in the book is believed to be the most accurate. Display information is in Korean only so bring a Korean friend. In the experience hall, children have an opportunity to play Mongolian board games made of sheeps wool and bones, read books and watch a video. Adults can try on traditional Mongolian clothing and play an instrument such as the horse head violin or morin khuur. A history museum chronicles the life

Village reveals insight into central Asian culture, Genghis Kahn
of Kahn and the Mongol Empire through today and the ecology museum documents the discovery of dinosaur bones in the Gobi Desert and has mounted animals. While these are all interesting, the folk art performance is the showpiece and is not to be missed. The 19-member troupe, who were all recruited from Mongolia, provide a dazzling performance of dance and music dressed in traditional attire. The unique throat singing or khoomi is unlike anything you will ever hear and is amazing. The Mongolia Horse Theater shows off some of the Mongols renowned horsemanship skills. The 12 member cast, which includes acrobats, provides spectators an enjoyable action-packed 40-minute performance. Jamsranjav highly recommends both shows because they capture the essence of Mongols, who she said are sometimes misunderstood. Mongolian people live in a vast land and because of it they have a generous mind, she said. They are kind and try to treat their guests like family. If you work up an appetite, dont miss the traditional Mongolian food. The barbecued sheep meat and vegetables sauted in a mildly sweet sauce and large crescentshaped fried mandu are tasty and two excellent choices. So if you cant make a trip to central Asia, get a Korean friend and head to Mongolia Culture Town, and dont forget your camera. x

NEWS Army chief discusses future of combat training

By Donna Miles American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON Army Chief of Staff Gen. Martin E. Dempsey has put a lot of thought into ways to take the lessons learned during more than nine years of war and apply them to the militarys training and education programs. Dempsey, who spent two years commanding U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command before taking his current post in mid-April, knew it wouldnt be easy to replicate the complexity of the operational environment in the classroom or at home station. We cannot expect to capture the imagination of combat-seasoned forces that have been in some of the most complex environments imaginable for almost a decade by sitting them in a classroom and bludgeoning them with PowerPoint slides, he wrote earlier this year in a five-part series in Army magazine about the Armys Campaign of Learning. We must make the scrimmage as hard as the game in both the institutional schoolhouse and at home station, Dempsey wrote. Speaking in February at the Association of the U.S Armys Winter Symposium and Exposition in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Dempsey offered a glimpse of whats likely ahead for military leaders. The challenge we face is that we have to get ready for an Army that will have a potentially insatiable demand to train and to expand the aperture away from strictly [counterinsurgery] to hybrid threats, full-spectrum operations, maneuver training and all the things that we know can atrophy over time, the general told the audience. Dempsey told the Senate Armed Services Committee during his Army chief confirmation hearing in March that his challenge is to build on a decade of battlefield experience thats proven the Army to be a courageous, resilient, resolute, inquisitive and adaptable force. Our challenge will be that these young men and women have had capabilities, authorities and responsibilities as captains that I didnt have as a twostar general -- and Im not exaggerating a bit when I say that, he told the panel. And so continuing their development, ... from that point, that much higher entry level than I had, is our challenge. Dempsey said troops simply wont accept a return to the pre-conflict way of training. If we were a rubber band and have been stretched over the last 10 years, we cant let ourselves simply contract back to our previous shape, because they wont stand for that, he said. Making training as challenging as possible to ensure readiness, despite whats expected to be an era of reduced resourcing, is the goal behind the new Army Training Concept. Introduced in the Armys 2010 Posture Statement, it provides the vision of the way ahead for the 2012-2020 modular force. The idea, Dempsey wrote in Army Magazine, is to make training more rigorous and relevant by leveraging technology to create challenging training environments for our leaders.

The concept strikes a balance between operational and institutional training requirements and offers different ways to train beyond 2012 that will maintain current capabilities while producing the next generation of agile, ready forces. A centerpiece of the Army Training Concept is Tradocs Training Brain. This blend of capabilities, systems, networks and data repositories directly from the Joint Training Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Operations Integration Center puts soldiers smack in the middle of realistic operational environments. It allows us to pull [a] stream of real-world data from current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, declassify it, and use it to build realistic scenarios to support training throughout the Army, Dempsey wrote. In addition, the Army is using the Training Brain to create videos based on recent battles and operations to make them accessible on the Army Training Network. Soldiers can use this as a tool to facilitate their own learning, whether theyre in a schoolhouse environment, conducting home-station training or even deployed, Dempsey wrote. Meanwhile, the general said, Training Brain is helping the Army evolve massive, multiplayer online role-playing games. These provide a forum for soldiers and leaders to interact and collaborate using common scenarios in a virtual environment -- not only with soldiers within their own units, but across the Army. x

Dinner recognizes contributors who gave their time to 132 organizations

By W. Wayne Marlow warren.wayne.marlow@us.army.mil
Humphreys volunteers honored

ebrate these volunteers who contribute every day to enhance our quality of life. Colonel Joseph P. Moore, USAG Humphreys commander, touched on some of those areas during his remarks. Volunteers, he noted, have roles in sports, youth organizations, chapel services, and more. Moore said that the day after the awards dinner, There will be baseball and softball all day long, with over 200 players, only because we have volunteer coaches. Another area where volunteers impact children on Humphreys is scouting. We would always have Girl Scouts, but would we have the number of girls involved if it werent for people like Billy Black, Moore asked rhetorically. Even if you are only with them for a year or two, they will remember you for the rest of their lives because of the impact you have. Moore said that there are sports and academic options available to youth here because volunteers understand that coming to Korea should not be a sacrifice for your kids. And for Soldier volunteers, that means squeezing time into an already crowded week. Soldiers who volunteer to pick up trash or help an orphanage just gave six to eight hours of their life on top of the 60 hours they put into the Army that week, and doing it in a country theyre only visiting, Moore said. And those Soldiers, in turn, are supported by a USO led by manager Tami Hager that gives so much, Moore noted. Theres a concert coming in a couple of weeks, and Tami doesnt have to do that, Moore said. She doesnt have to do the free lunches, the delicious doughnuts and coffee, and bring in entertainment. He also made note of a volunteer idea that the Army recently recognized with a service-wide award.

The buffet meal and awards presentation recognized those who have impacted the quality of life for Soldiers, Families, and civilians here. This year, 2,064 volunteers contributed 80,000 hours to 132 organizations. Those volunteers include five persons who were given awards at the dinner. The recipents were: Staff Sgt. Jason Bauer, Active Duty Volunteer of the Year; Sgt. Lee, Dong-woong, KATUSA Soldier Volunteer of the Year; Tenesha Bernard, Family Member Volunteer of the Year; Christina Mann, Youth Volunteer of the Year; and Michael Tatum, Retiree Volunteer of the Year. The 4-2 Attack Battalion received Volunteer Unit of the Year recognition. But while these awardees left with a glass trophy, all volunteers were recognized. We know the important role volunteers play in the lives of Soldiers and Families, said Suzanne James, Army Community Service director for United States Army Garrison Humphreys. Tonight, we cel-

No more Yongsan trips; applications processed at One Stop Building
By Pvt. Han, Jae-ho han.jaeho@korea.army.mil
CAMP HUMPHREYS Most persons wanting a passport will no longer have to travel to Yongsan. The process can now be done on the second floor of the One Stop Building (Bldg. 544), in the Transportation Division Passport Office. Thats because the office has been designated a military passport acceptance agency by the U.S. Department of State. This applies to official, no-fee (dependent) and tourist passports. Diplomatic passport applications must still be submitted to the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. The Transportation Division Passport Office does not produce passports, but acts as a courier to and from the Embassy. Office personnel provide services such as applications for all minors and first-time adult applications, renewals, adding pages to a passport, name changes, data corrections, limited Passport book replacement, A3 visas, and Status of Forces Agreement stamps. It can also assist with consular reports of birth and Social Security card applications. However, the office can only process newborn applications if both parents are U.S. citizens.

ACS teaches financial readiness

By Pvt. Han, Jae-ho han.jaeho@korea.army.mil
CAMP HUMPHREYS A readiness program offered at Army Community Service is helping new Soldiers map their financial futures. The on-going program offers a variety of instruction every week, including the mandatory main class. This class, which is personal finance readiness training, is primarily for first-term Soldiers just out of Advanced Individual Training. It is meant to give Soldiers a better understanding of money issues and know what pitfalls to avoid. In this class, Soldiers familiarize themselves with items related to credit, insurance, and consumer scams. Soldiers also learn how to budget and are given pointers on buying their first home. According to Barbara Brown, the program manager and Army Emergency Relief officer, new Soldiers often get into financial trouble. Many Soldiers bring their families with them and they have trouble with utility bills, and they end up going back to the United States for an emergency leave. Some Soldiers are overwhelmed by debt and I see them mismanage money by buying new cell phones they dont need. They also dont do bank reconciliation, which should be done monthly to track your banking status, she said. The Financial Readiness program emphasizes starting early and investing. Young Soldiers can retrieve their credit reports on a regular basis, up to three times a year. They can also attend one of nine, on-going financial classes offered and learn to manage their money before encountering financial problems. Soldiers drop by our office all the time to follow up and check if they are doing OK financially, Brown said. Some Soldiers have displayed excellent financial management and that makes us all proud. Soldiers can visit the Financial Readiness program office at building 1127 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, or can callat 753-8403.

If you were going to walk into the village tonight - and I wouldnt recommend it - but if you did, you would see BOSS Soldiers who agree to stay sober and watch for Soldiers who have too much do drink, Moore said. He also noted the Army Family Action Plan, a town hall meeting on steroids, which brings good ideas to us and good results, including some of which have spread through the Army. Lieutenant Col. Thomas Rowell, commander of 4-2 Attack Battalion, spoke about why volunteering was important and how to do it. He noted that his unit has Soldiers with advanced degrees and it would be poor leadership to not take advantage of it. Its also important to show what right looks like to first-time Soldiers and how to go
about it. The units efforts include the Good Neighbor Program, where Soldiers work with Korean civilians in area beautification, English language programs, and orphanages. Rowell said the program is one of his units top five priorities and that the program leader has a seat at the table during unit meetings, highlighting its importance. x

2CAB, ROK combine air assault

The air assault was originally scheduled to be conducted at Tactical Assembly Area Tom, but heavy rains and nearly four feet of flooding from the Chung Ju River prompted the change in plans, said Maj. Aaron McPeake, the officer in charge of Operations for 2-2 Aviation. Instead of conducting the air assault on May 11, we extracted around 255 Soldiers from TAA Tom, he added. Ironically the training from the air assault really paid off during the extraction, because all of our Soldiers were already well prepared to fly into a tight space and extract a large number of personnel. When the extraction was finished, there was no time to reflect on a successful mission. As soon as the emergency extraction of U.S. personnel from TAA Tom was complete, we immediately turned the page and begin making adjust-

6-52 visits Cheonan wreckage

Soldiers and Families mark Memorial Day
By Capt. Austin Liu 6-52 ADA Public Affairs
PYONGTAEK Soldiers and Families of the 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery spent an unforgettable Memorial Day visiting the Cheonan wreckage located at the Republic of Korea Navy 2nd Fleet Base at Pyeongtaek Port and honoring the 46 Republic of Korea Sailors who made the ultimate sacrifice more than a year ago. More than 65 Soldiers and their families had the opportunity to examine the ship and the damage it suffered as the result of a suspected North Korean torpedo attack on March 26, 2010. A few cadets from the United States Military Academy who are attached to 6-52 ADA for the summer Cadet Troop Leadership Training also participated in the visit. U.S. personnel received an in-depth briefing from Korean Navy officials on the evidence gathered as a result of the multi-nation investigation of the sinking, and even got the chance to look at the key piece of evidence, the remains of the North Korean torpedo that allegedly sunk the boat. I am very grateful to the ROK Navy for allowing us to visit the memorial and partake in the tribute to the lives so tragically lost, said 2nd Lt. Douglass Brown of Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 6-52. U.S. personnel also visited the local Yong Pyeong Island Skirmishes Memorial Park as part of the tour. Looking at the Cheonan wreckage and the damage it sustained in person really brought things into perspective for everyone this morning, said, Lt. Col. William E. Darne, 6-52 commander. x

ments to the original air assault with the ROK Army, McPeake said. The lessons learned from a combined operation are far too important to miss a chance to train with our ROK counterparts, so we made the necessary adjustments and two days later both sides were ready to go. The crucial adjustment was to the staging area, he added. We had to move it from TAA Tom to the flight line here, so we cooperated with the ROK 15th Composite Wing, also stationed here, to free up the flight line while the operation was taking place, McPeake said. We didnt have much time to give them notice, but somehow within 48 hours they were able to make it happen. During the air assault, 27 U.S. and ROK UH-60 Black Hawks dropped about 270 ROK commandos from the 703rd Special Attack Regiment into a scenario-driven training environment and then came back to extract the commandos two hours later. During the drop, six ROK AH-1 Cobras provided route reconnaissance and protective cover. In all, 36 U.S. and ROK helicopters were used. With that many birds in the air, the success of the operation really hinges on timing to make sure that everybody is in rhythm, and despite all of the last minute adjustments we were able to sync with the ROK 601st Aviation Battalion without any problems, McPeake said. Lieutenant Col. Erik Gilbert, the commander of 2-2, echoed the sentiment. The air assault was the culmination of more than five months of detailed planning and training with our ROK counterparts, Gilbert said. Being able to conduct an emergency extraction, then recover and meet the objective within ten seconds of the designated time is the direct result of hard, realistic training at the company level. That hard, realistic training has been noticed by those outside the battalion. In May, the Army Aviation Association of America named 2-2 its Outstanding Aviation Battalion of the Year for the Korean peninsula. x

DAEGU GARRISON Fun in the sun doesnt always have to mean a day at the beach. On June 3, members from around the USAG Daegu and Southeast Hub donned their summer hats and walking shoes and joined in a Good Neighbor event that kept them out and about the Korea countryside all day. The day-long tour, hosted by USAG Daegu Public Affairs, was made possible thanks to the generous support and donations made by Korean Foreigner Tourist Facility Association, Daegu branch who provided community participants with transportation and traditional Korean meals that included everything from bulgoki to bibim-bap. The Good Neighbor cultural tour consisted of approximately 60 individuals from around the Southeast Hub. The day began with buses departing Camp Walker and Camp Carroll heading to Daedun Mountain. The three-hour drive from Daegu gave the Soldiers, family members and civilians on the tour a chance to see Korea beyond the installation gates. All along the way excitement grew as the U.S. and Korean participants anxiously awaited the various events scheduled for the day. Reaching their destination in record time, members of the tour group were in awe of the sights and sounds as they approached the tiny town around the base of the mountains. For an up close and personal view, a cable car ride was a must. For those craving an even more picturesque view, there were the eternal stairs. A participant on the tour, Deidric Cave, USA, Ret., called the experience simply awesome. I came along to experience this cultural event and to take photos of the various sites. I have not been disappointed. This is a great way to see Korea and experience its culture, he said. Daedun Mountain, and the great meals were not the only part of the Good Neighbor outing. After a brief rest that allowed for more mingling

and interacting among the tour group, buses headed to the Hite Beer Factory located in Jeonju. That portion of the tour was much anticipated as the curious tourists wanted to catch a glimpse of how the golden brew is made. A walk through of the huge facility revealed some interesting facts about how Hite beer is processed, packaged, and distributed. A final destination remaining, the days tour had not yet worn down the fed, full and feisty group. Approaching their last stop, the group was met by a tour guide as they paused to take in the beauty of Jeonju Hanok Village, and Jeondong Catholic church. The traditional Korean settings were visible for as far as the eye could see. Traditional buildings and their impressive rooftops dotted the hot and humid landscape. Andrew Allen, a participant in the tour was in awe of the setting. He called the day unforgettable. It was fun. I like the chance to get away from the installation. Going on tours like this is kind of fun. You have all the different kinds of people going on the trip, so you get to enjoy the day with other people from the base, he said. Another Good Neighbor event had gone smoothly. Said Allen, The event It was nicely organized, and I didnt have to worry about anything or doing anything just relax and go out. I enjoyed good food and good company. Also I want to recommend this kind of tour especially to our young and single Soldiers. I think they would really enjoy this trip in many ways.

The U.S. Army in Korea 2011 paintball championship was held at U.S. Army Garrison Daegus Camp Carroll Paintball Range May 14 and 15. Contestants representing all four of Installation Management Command Koreas Garrisons, Humphreys, Yongsan and Red Cloud as well as USAG Daegu, showed off their ducking, scrambling, hiding, ambush and shooting skills over the newest paintball range on the peninsula. There was some inexperience which came out as the event progressed, but this was understandable as it was the first time the Camp Carroll range hosted. However whatever hiccups there may have been were overcome by the passion and excitement provided by the BOSS Soldiers, and theres no reason to doubt the next Army in Korea Paintball Championships will be even better.

The bad days need not to be all bad, they can be good days
By Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Milton Johnson USAG Daegu Garrison Chaplain
DAEGU GARRISON What were your best days and years in life? The days I am talking about are the days when you think of them, they make the whole year look like a good year. Let me guess, I would say the days that brought you great happiness. Maybe the day you got married, or the day your child was born. Perhaps it was the time you left your last duty station, or the week you reported to your gaining unit for a new assignment. Possibly, it was when you moved into a new home, or saw your child graduate from school or college. Perchance a retreat that turned out to be the best vacation ever tops the list. Perhaps a promotion headed the list. Surely, those are the kinds of memories that when we look back at them they determine whether a year turned out to be a good year or not. Would it shock you terribly if I propose that you evaluate a good year not according to events of pleasure but according to experiences of challenge and afflictions? Would it sound dreadfully pious if I suggested that the best days and years are not the ones of unbroken
sunshine, but dark days when trouble or disappointment clouded your sky and obstructed your view? Now that we are almost completely through the second quarter of the new year we would do well to soak our souls in that sonorous psalm which frankly faces up to the littleness of time and the greatness of eternity. In the midst of majestic phrases that reflect on the fleeting nature of human life the psalmist offers this remarkable prayer; Make us glad for as many days that you have afflicted us, for as many
years as we have seen trouble Ps 90:15. The apostle Paul did that with his bad days and he had plenty of them. For some reason he fairly flung a catalog of his sufferings in the face of Christians at Corinth when he said; we are afflicted in every way perplexedpersecuted struck downalways carrying in the body the death of Jesus. Then he said, but we do not lose heart. Why? Because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things unseen are eternal. That is how Paul reacted to his aff lictions. He did not allow them to crush and embitter him, but he looked beyond them to the things that really matter - those eternally real and imperishable values of the spirit that the world cannot destroy or death take away. By doing so, his worst days became his best days. We do not have to be reminded that there will be good days and bad days we know that. Neither do we have to be reminded that the bad days neednt be all bad they can be good days. They can even be our best days if they bring out our finest qualities of character and strengthen our ties with other people and bring us into closer touch with the eternal God. x

Q:Would you encourage other women to pursue this type of leadership responsibility? A: Yes. Its very good for women to be able to have an experience such as this. You can take care of your customers and your employees. Its very satisfying. So I encourage women so seek these type of opportunities. Q: Do you have any new Exchange facility projects planned? A: We have a Starbucks, and a multi-training facility planned for Camp Carroll. We will be putting a theater inside the new multi-training facility. In that facility, we can conduct classes, conferences things like that. The facility will be used for business reasons. However, there will be a movie theater in there as well. Its going to be one large building -- its going to be used by different groups from around the Garrison. The master planners are busy preparing for the future. Currently, they are trying to put together plans for a new facility around the year 2020. That facility will be for us and for DeCa. Q: How do you provide feedback to the customer who has some question or concern? A: Sometimes customers come directly to me, and I can answer their question. That is the best thing and I like. We also have our customer comment programs in the ICE program. I usually answer those directly from the customers within two working days. So I make sure I get the feedback to them fast as or as soon as possible. Customers are why I am here. I try to take care of every single one of their concerns. Q: Is there a way the customer can properly provide their complaint or congratulations? A: We have Exchange customer comments system that you can use. We have a paper form that you can send directly to our headquarters in Dallas or you can go online and can fill out the customers comments. We also participate in ICE. If the customer fills out the ICE complaint and it goes to the Garrison, then the Garrison sends it to us for action. Q: Do you have any additional comments or any message you would like to provide the USAG Daegu community? A: I want you, the customer, to be satisfied with your shopping experience. Anyone is welcome any time. Enter our facility and I want you to leave happy. So, if you have any concerns -- anything you need please talk to the store manager or me. You can contact us anytime. I am just here and pleased to serve you. x
Paula Henderson, General Manager, Korea Southern Exchange reviews issues and policies regarding day-to-day operations of the Exchange.
Enter the Exchange, and leave happy

you have regarding your work? A: I want to make sure that we could buy everything that our customers need. Its a little bit different in the U.S. If the customer needs something in the U.S., he or she can simply go off and purchase it. But here in Korea, the customer doesnt have the luxury of simply going to other retail or food facilities with which they are familiar. So, we try to do everything for everyone here. Q: What is the most difficulty of working as a manager? A: Trying to please everyone. This is a little bit different than working retail outside of the military. Because you have people from different places in the world, you have to consider the different cultures, and be aware of some of their possible needs. There are also the needs of the military community that you must take into consideration. Knowing and understanding the many regulations that govern how things are to be managed or operate all of these things present a great challenge. Q: When did you begin to feel this is a worthwhile job to work? A: I was looking for something

DAEGU GARRISON This is Part II and the final portion of an interview with Paula Henderson, Exchange General Manager, USAG Daegu and the Southeast Hub. Q: How long have you been the Korea Southern Exchange General Manager? Where is your hometown and where were you before coming to Korea? A: In this August I will have been here two years. My hometown is Elkhart, Indiana. Prior to Korea, I was at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina. Q: What is your normal day? A: I dont have a normal day. My day changes from moment to moment. However, I spend a lot of time in meetings with the military and commands. I also have one - on- one conversations with my customers, as well as answer customer comments or questions to deal with. I sometimes go to Yong San to have meetings with the general manager there. As you can see, my day is different every day. Q: What are some of the concerns
to work for short time because my children were small. So I went to store when it opened -- It was a much smaller place than here. I applied for the job and I got it. Once I did, I loved it. My husband was in the Air Force, and I was able to move whenever he moved. Being able to work with the Exchange has been what I like to think of as a way of Giving back to the people that served my husband while he was in the military. I thought it was wonderful to be able to serve them. He is now retired from the Air Force, and I continue to find working for the Exchange as a great way of giving back. Q: How challenging is a position like this especially for a woman? A: In the old days it used to be more challenging for a woman than it is now. Except nowadays women are in higher positions and its much easier. Even in the military they were very respectable of the fact that a woman is doing this job. It is a very challenging job. Korea has to be most challenging for me, because of the cultural differences. However, they respect me and they work very well.

Cancer Survivor takes part in annual Relay for Life Cancer Walk
USAG DAEGU
THE MORNING CALM
DAEGU GARRISON Daegu and the Southeast Hub community held its annual Relay for Life Cancer Walk June 3, on Camp Walker. This event was very moving, especially for those whose lives have been touched by cancer. The event, which ran through the night, consisted of relay teams hoping to raise money that would be donated towards finding a cure for cancer. One team in particular, was led by ovarian cancer survivor Wanda Rosa. Rosa was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2006. She fought it aggressively before finally beating the disease in 2008. Now, she looks at life from a different perspective. She said, I love life and I try and live every day to the fullest. Determined to make a difference, Rosa stayed at the Camp Walker relay site all night. She supported the event by holding a fundraiser selling food and T-shirts to participants. At the end of the day, she was happy to report having raised more than one thousand dollars. I am so happy about the outcome of this entire event. If I had a wish, it would be that more and more people would get involved. These types of events help keep cancer awareness alive, expressed Rosa. When asked how cancer has changed her life, the survivor replied, I always keep a smile on my face because God is good and has blessed me. I truly am thankful for that. Rosa now makes time to encourage others who are taking on the cancer battle. She said, Never give up. Live life to the fullest, and every day thank God for all your daily blessings. x
