North Korean remains repatriated

United Nations Command embalms, returns bodies of 2 soldiers during ceremony
By Jane Lee jane.lee@korea.army.mil
PANMUNJOM A desperate, treacherous dash to freedom or an unfortunate fall into raging floodwaters no one will ever know how Pvt. Lee Chul-nam of the Korean Peoples Army died. His decomposed body washed up along the Imjin River on the evening of Sept. 9 near Nakha-ri. The private was an interesting one because he had his gear strapped to some flotation devices, said Albert McFarland, mortuary officer for the United Nations Command. Ive never seen any having flotation devices. As part of the Armistice Agreement and according to the Geneva Convention, the bodies of Soldiers are returned in repatriation ceremonies. Over the past decade on the peninsula, it has been McFarlands job to prepare any remains of North Korean soldiers found south of the Military demarcation line, for their final journey home. Bottom line is we treat remains that we get with respect and dignity and honor, McFarland explained of the painstaking process. So we clean the clothes, embalm and prep them just like as if we were going to ship them back to the states they are Soldiers. Thats the way it is and we would expect them to do the same thing for our Soldiers. ROK investigators noted Lee was likely preparing to swim because his body was roped to two pieces of Styrofoam and his army handbooks were double-bagged in plastic. Lee was one of two Korean Peoples Army soldiers whose bodies washed up in South Korea last month. So on Oct. 7, under brilliant sunshine, sixty years of tense hostilities were set aside briefly along the most heavily militarized border in the world. Dignity and respect replaced posturing and bravado during a somber ceremony at the Truce Village of Panmunjom, as the United Nations Command returned home the bodies of the two fallen Soldiers. Upon the invitation of UNC Military Armistice Commission Secretary Col. Kurt Taylor, the North Korean delegation led by Senior Col. Pak Ki-yong crossed the demarcation line and walked about 20 yards south of the DMZ, to inspect the remains. McFarland opened the caskets one by one, at the request of the three North Korean officers. The North Korean Colonel took a good hard look at them, McFarland shared. And he asked me a lot more questions about them, through the interpreter. He didnt ask me any questions before (in November 2010). That was kind of unusual. Hes probably getting more comfortable with us. After the inspection, the UNC Honor Guard carried the caskets across the line to a group of North Korean soldiers, who marched off with their fallen comrades coffins. x

NEWS Students learn value of saving

Credit Union trip puts focus on starting young
By Staff Sgt. Vincent Abril 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade
CAMP HUMPHREYS Humphreys American School first and second grade students recently learned the importance of saving money on a school trip Sept. 29. While touring the Camp Humphreys Navy Federal Credit Union branch, the students also observed its daily operations. Julie Abril, the manager waited by the door as the students filed in. The childrens excitement and curiosity were quickly noticed by the branch employees as they prepared for the tour. After testing the childrens knowledge on the banking system, Abril talked to them about saving their money with the aid of Diana Pickard, the assistant branch manager. We really want to stress the importance of saving money by explaining to the kids why people save money and how they can do just that at a credit union or bank, Abril. I think the message of saving money and learning about why people use banks go hand and hand and we hope the children take this message home with them, Abril said. As the children looked on, the bank tellers gave a demonstration on how money counters work. To better teach the children about deposits, some of the students were able to deposit fake money and received an invoice for the transaction. One of the students deposited $1 million in fake money to the surprise of everyone in the credit union. Shannon Webster, a multi-grade teacher who brought her class to the credit union, knows all too well why the message of saving money is important at this stage of her students life. We wanted students to be aware of how important it is for them to start saving at a young age, Webster said. The goal is to get the students in-

Korean Folk Band: Stories told through rhythm
A member of the Korean Farmers Folk Band dances to traditional music performed for tourists in September at the Tradional Korean Folk Village located Jeonla-do near Seoul.

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS: Offpost events and activities

Mount Seorak One of the most famous mountains is Mt. Seorak is a site most Koreans visit at least once in their lifetime. Seoraksan National Park in Gangwon-do (Gangwon Province) is located at the far northern end of the mountain and is known for its breathtaking valleys and waterfalls. Each spring, the park holds its annual flower festival, filling the air with sweet fragrances. The elevation is 5,603 feet. Heyri Art Valley Heyri Art Valley is a collection of art galleries, workshops, film studios, book shops and cafs, hidden away in an idyllic valley just an hours drive north of Seoul. Along with nearby Paju Book City, Heyri is a grand experiment in ecologically friendly architecture, design and urban planning, made all the more surreal by its location just a rivers width from North Korea. There is an outdoor museum (with plenty of indoor ones, too) that even laymen without the slightest interest in the arts can enjoy. Its a place one might be able to spend all day strolling about, dipping in and out of galleries and bookshops as the mood strikes. About 370 artistsincluding painters, sculptors, graphic artists, filmmakers and potterslive and/or work in Heyri. Koreas top architects were let loose to design the studio and art spaces, and the resultan outdoor display of the very best of eco-friendly Korean designis absolutely breathtaking. Each and every building is an expression of the individuality of both architect and owner, yet all strictly conform to the villages overriding principle of harmony with nature. They are designed to harmonize with and complement the hills and streams. Cheongwadae Sarangchae As one of Seouls newest tourist attractions Koreas presidential residence, the Cheongwadae Sarangchae, is located in front of Cheongwadae. It is a presidential museum that informs visitors about Koreas past, present and future. Opened on January 5, 2010, the two-story exhibition and museum was designed to be more environmentally friendly than other museums by harnessing the power of solar and geothermal energy, thereby reducing the use of fossil fuels. Its a fitting response to Koreas ambitious goal to reduce carbon emissions by 30 percent by the year 2020. The Cheongwadae Sarangchae can be accessed via Gyeongbokgung Station on Seoul Metro Line 3 (Exit 5). Reverse direction and turn right at the intersection. Walk along the western palace wall until you reach the large statue in front of the presidential residence. The museum will be on your left. Hours: Open 09:00-18:00. Closed Mondays. The Ilmin Museum of Art The Ilmin Museum of Art houses one of Seouls finest venues reserved for the cultivation and presentation of modern art. Only relatively recently, since its reopening in 2002, has the museum slowly shifted its main interest to contemporary Korean art instead of focusing only on existing collections. Inviting both renowned artists like Suh Yong-sun, who held a solo exhibition here in 2004 and was named Artist of the Year for 2009, and young artists who have not quite made names for themselves yet, the museum contributes to making the contemporary Korean art scene more accessible to the public and even gives not-so-conventional, experimental artists a chance to present their work, too. The museum is open daily, except on Mondays, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The caf and shop are open daily, except for national holidays, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Entry fees vary according to the exhibitions. For more information, visit www.ilmin.org. Gwanghwamun Station, Line 5, Exit 5 is the most direct way to get there. From City Hall Station, Lines 1 & 2, take Exit 4 and walk for about 500 meters. Parking space is available in the Dong-A Media Center next door.

Invest in workers with disabilities

By Col. William P. Huber Yongsan Garrison Commander
YONGSAN GARRISON It is my pleasure to invite you to honor and recognize individuals with disabilities during National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Observed each October, we remain committed in our effort to educate the public about issues related to disability and employment. This years theme is Profit by Investing in Workers with Disabilities, and illustrates the fact that workers with disabilities are an essential element of diversity that makes organizations stronger. In addition, a person's disability is not a boundary to talent that they can bring to the workforce, but ultimately an enhancement to every organization. To mark this event, 8th U.S. Army and U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan are highlighting activities with both the expectation and opportunity for people with disabilities to become full participants in our workforce.

Area I pools, gym to get big upgrade

By Franklin Fisher franklin.s.fisher@us.army.mil
CAMP RED CLOUD Swimmers in Area I will soon have three goodas-new indoor pools to enjoy thanks to a renovation project slated for the coming months at Camps Hovey, Stanley and Red Cloud. And the Hanson Fitness Center at Camp Casey is also to get a muchneeded fix-up. Overhauling the pools will cost more than $4 million total. Work is to finish next spring, with all three reopening in time for the summer season, if not earlier. Its great news, said Col. Hank Dodge, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I. Theyre gonna be top notch, state of the art. Each pool will have a retractable roof, outdoor sundeck, all-new mechanical systems for warm water, new ventilation systems and locker rooms, and will be weatherized with insulation and other features that will keep them warm in winter. The retractable roof will allow patrons to swim in sunlight, and the ventilation system will work against mold and mildew, provide better airflow, and keep steam from accumulating. Thatll mean lifeguards wont have to peer through clouds of steam to keep watch on swimmers, said Yun Heo, the USAG Red Cloud director of Public Works. The three pools are more than 12 years old, have undergone only minimal upgrades and band-aid repairs, and are long overdue for revamp, Heo said. The Hanson gym will get a new entrance, locker rooms and bathrooms. The renovations of the pools and gym became possible because garrison officials took swift action recently to qualify for money the Office of Secretary of Defense was offering on a one-time-only basis to installations with fitness facilities needing upgrade. The result was the award to the garrison of $4.8 million for fitness facility projects. Of that, $4.1 million will be spent

CAMP CASEY Families new to Area I converged on Camp Casey Oct. 6 for an open air event that showcased the recreational, sports and other services offered by the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. Called FMWR Expo 11, the event drew some 2,000 people from the Area I community, said Frank DeSilva, the FMWR director of marketing. We had never done an expo before, he said. It was awesome, it was packed. The Expo made use of 40 information booths as well as food concessions and prize drawings. With a recent influx of military families, and with Area I installations spread across a large geographic area, FMWR officials hit on the idea of an Expo to give them an opportunity to see all the things we do, in one time and one place, DeSilvasaid. Services include a robust program of sports and recreation activities, as well as programs geared to youngsters. Sports activities range from setting up athletic competitions track and field, weightlifting, swimming, for example, to hosting peninsula-wide sporting events like the recent Eighth U.S. Army Team Triathlon at Camp Casey. The sports program is so popular that athletes from as far away as Daegu come to participate in certain key events. Among FMWR recreation activities are operation of recreation

Area I staff tours Incheon Landing sites

By Franklin Fisher franklin.s.fisher@us.army.mil
INCHEON Its known to history as the Incheon Landing that pivotal Korean War amphibious operation in which forces under Gen. Douglas MacArthur slipped behind enemy lines and turned the tide of battle, and for a time the war. Members of the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud staff made a bus trip on a bright, hazy Oct. 7 to Incheon, where one of the most important events of the Korean War unfolded. It was at Incheon, on Sept. 15, 1950, that U.S. forces stormed ashore in the end-run that led to the North Korean invaders being driven out of South Korea. The group stopped first at the Freedom Park, where a statue of MacArthur towers over brightly colored flowerbeds and a paved walkway. Also visited was Wolmi Island, one of the landing sites. It lies just off Incheon. Guiding the group was South Korean Army Col. (ret.) Yu Sang-shik, 72, who as an 11-year-old boy witnessed some of the Incheon fighting. To a boy his age, Yu said in an interview, the sight of the landing force was magnificent, and made him very proud that such a formidable military force was fighting on the side of his country. He told his audience of a desperate, war-ravaged Korea. The ordinary people, they got hungry, with no food, Yu said. The only chance to steal the rice [was] when the warehouses were bombed by the fighter planes. The day began at the 2nd Infantry Division Museum at Camp Red Cloud, where museum director William Alexander gave a summary of the Incheon Operation, which was known officially as Operation Chromite. The North Koreans had pushed us all the way back to the Nakdong Perimeter, also known as the Pusan Perimeter, Alexander explained. And that sets the stage for MacArthurs decision to open up a second front with the landings at Inchon, he said. The operation was a success. The troops went ashore, and Seoul was soon retaken from the North Koreans, who were driven from South Korea. Capt. David Hong, commander of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud, found the trip of two-fold benefit. One, the military historical aspect of it, said Hong. The impact its had. The second, you get a firsteye experience into how much this countrys developed through Yus first-hand accounts of Korea during the war. x

Thrower takes wrestling championship
By Spc. Mardicio Barrot USG Red Cloud Public Affairs

CAMP CASEY It may have been his passion for wrestling and his willingness to train hard for months that made James Thrower the winner of the Warrior Country Wrestling Tournament Oct. 8 at Camp Stanley. Thrower, of Battery A, 138th Field Artillery Regiment, was one of 11 wrestlers in the tournament, which offered action in three weight divisions 163 lbs., 185 lbs. and 211 lbs. Thrower dominated in each of his three bouts, and emerged champion after a 3-0 win over the wrestler who proved a worthy opponent Omar Jimenez of Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 25th Transportation Battalion. My toughest competition today was Jimenez, Thrower said after the match. When I first saw him he looked like he knew his stuff, and sure enough when I wrestled him the guy turned out to be technically sound, Thrower said of Jimenez. Earlier in the tournament, Throwers performance had the audience ooohing in admiration. That

came in his bout against Dustin Fuqua of the 61st Maintenance Company. At that instant when it seemed Fuqua would catch Thrower in a single - leg takedown, Thrower executed a back flip to gain better position. Thrower, of San Francisco, thinks he owes the championship to rigorous training. I have been preparing for this tournament for months, said Thrower. Me and a few battle buddies usually come to the gym after work to exercise and pull out a mat so we can roll. Its something that we love to do. So doing it is like a second nature. Hes been wrestling for six years and sees the mat as a kind of second home, he said. Following are other results of the tournament: 211 lb. division, Philip Schmit, 55th Military Police Company, def.

U.S. Soldiers share passion for Korean language

YONGSAN GARRISON - U.S. Soldiers who love Korean and Korean students who love English showed off their enthusiastic and talented speaking skills during the final round of the Korean English Speaking Contest at Yongsans Movie Theater Oct. 5. For the 13th Annual Speech Contest seven U.S. Soldiers who went through competitive preliminary rounds in each area boasted their fluent Korean speaking skills. Nearly a dozen Korean students who learned English from U.S. Soldiers competed in the English speaking portion. Republic of Korea Army Support Group Commander Col. Kwon Young-kil gave welcoming remarks before the competition began. I want to express my gratitude and respect to the finalists and those who have prepared for the preliminary rounds by continuously and heartily studying Korean and English, Kwon said. I hope all the participants demonstrate their best Korean and English speaking skills that reflect their hard work and practice. Korean and English Speech Contest carried a deeper meaning beyond the simple annual competition. Each person shared their unique stories about their experience in Korea or their opinions on the Korea and U.S. relationship. Staff Sgt. Justin Carnell from Charlie Battery, 2nd Infantry Division was one of the participants in the Korean Speech Contest.

YONGSAN GARRISON - Hannam Villages newest Family Child Care center opened its doors Oct. 3. Family Child Care (FCC) is a homebased option for Military Family members, Department of Defense civilians, and Department of Defense contractors in which Family members work as independent childcare contractors in individual housing units located on a Military installation. The Family Child Care center in Hannam Village located in building H #104 was first started and managed by Sonya Gregg. Shannon Newby recently took over the center and renamed the home Grins, Giggles and Wiggles which she says best describes her as well as the kids. The in-home child care center provides a variety of creative hands-on activities. Newbys philosophy is that children learn better by trying and experiencing themselves instead of FCC providers doing activities for them. Her curriculum includes a lot of arts

and crafts, singing, drama and moral education. Grins, Giggles and Wiggles is open Monday through Friday from 5:15 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will also be a Multi-Age group so age range is anywhere from four-weeks to five-years-old. Full-time and hourly care are both available. Currently there are four energetic kids from two to four-years of age and the house has two more spots open according to Newby. What I most like about this is being able to be around kids because I love kids, said Newby. Each child is different, which keeps me going. It also opens the kids up to the social environment, helping them be more outgoing. Opening the child care center has been her dream since she was younger. Newby was seven when her sister had a baby, so ever since then shes been babysitting ... experience which certainly helps her run a daycare. Anyone whod like to work with the kids can contact Child Development Center at 738-3406 to go through the required training. And those whod like their children to take part in Grins, Giggles and Wiggles can call Newby at 010-2596-1286 directly or contact Army Community Services. x

YONGSAN GARRISON - To combat domestic abuse, the United States Army has declared October to be Domestic Abuse Prevention Month with the official start of the campaign in Yongsan being the Domestic Abuse Prevention Month Proclamation Ceremony held at the Army Community Services Oct. 6. Domestic abuse, a violent action taken against ones family or significant others, is an issue around the world that destroys Families and lives. For the U.S. Army, it also takes a direct toll on the readiness of the unit, the morale of the Soldiers and Families and the loss of strength in the community and the
battlefield. The observance began with remarks from Addison Elliott, the Victim Advocate Coordinator for ACS, who then introduced Col. William P. Huber, the command See PREVENTION MONTH, Page 12

er of Yongsan Garrison. Huber spoke about the difficulty for victims to come forward and be heard, due to the personal nature of the abuse. In some senses it is disappointing and in other senses it is understandable, said Huber. Domestic violence and abuse is very difficult to talk about. Huber talked about how ACS effort helped stop domestic abuse, including its use of the silent witnesses, silhouettes of victims of abuse with their stories displayed on the front of the cutout. After Huber finished his remarks, Jennifer Jenkins, the Family Advocacy Intern with ACS, read The Letter, a poem about a survivor of domestic abuse. From there Pamela Williams, the ACS Family Advocacy Program Specialist, then read the signed proclama-
tion to the attendees of the observance. The group then took part in a candlelight vigil as Elliott read Remember My Name, a poem about a victim who lost her life to domestic abuse. After the observance, the attendees were offered refreshments and a chance to read the stories of the silent witnesses set around the room, men and women who lost their lives due to domestic abuse. Jenkins, after the ceremony, said that ACS getting the word out was important to stopping domestic abuse. I think that it is bigger than people believe that it is, Jenkins said. It happens. There are people that are afraid to admit it, afraid to report it. I think its a lot bigger, and ACS stepping in saying This is out here, lets get some help is a step in the right direction. x

Children SOAR with new program

By Brandon Bosworth American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, D.C. Student Online Achievement Resource, or SOAR, is a free online program that helps parents play an active role in their childrens education. SOAR was designed for military families worldwide and for classmates of military family members in schools serving military installations. Currently, SOAR has more than 60,000 users. Kids in military families are always moving to different schools, said Barbara Adams, director, Resources for the Military Impacted Schools Association. Most kids are left on their own to fill in the gaps and catch up. SOAR helps them cope with different curriculum. To help make the transition from one school system to another easier, SOAR maintains assessments aligned to different state standards. For example, a student entering a new school system can go to the SOAR website and take a 30-question assessment based on the schools standards. After completing an assessment, SOAR will then direct the student to special tutorials to help him or her improve specific skills. SOAR also offers tips for parents who want to help their children in their studies. In addition, the SOAR website features ACT and SAT prep courses provided by Princeton Review. While these courses can normally cost several hundred dollars, they are free to SOAR users. To sign up for SOAR, visit at www.SoarAtHome.com. x
Soldier MIA from Korean War identified

Courtesy American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, D.C. The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced today that the remains of a serviceman, missing in action from the Korean War, have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors. Army Cpl. Edward M. Pedregon of El Paso, Texas, will be buried on Oct. 6 in Arlington National Cemetery. A memorial service was held in San Elizario, Texas, on Oct. 1. In late November 1950 Pedregon and the Heavy Mortar Company, of the 31st Regimental Combat Team known as Task Force Faith were overrun by Chinese forces near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. After several days of heavy attacks, Task Force Faith was forced to withdraw, but was stopped by enemy blockades that overpowered them on Dec. 2, 1950. Pedregon was reported missing in action on Nov. 30, 1950. In 1953, following the exchange of all prisoners of war by both sides of the conflict, no further information was gained to indicate that Pedregon had been held as a prisoner of war, and he was declared dead. In 2004, a joint U.S.-Korean Peoples Army team excavated several sites in the Chosin Reservoir area and recovered the remains of at least nine individuals. The location of the remains corresponds to the positions temporarily held by elements of Task Force Faith in late November 1950. x

Some TRICARE copayments drop

Courtesy American Forces Press Service
FALLS CHURCH, VA. Copayments for some medications provided through TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery have been reduced to zero. As of Oct. 1, home delivery beneficiaries have been able to fill generic prescriptions at no cost to themselves. These new copays make using TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery more affordable than ever, said Rear Adm. Christine Hunter, TRICARE Management Activity deputy director. Home Delivery offers a great value for patients taking maintenance medications for chronic conditions. The following changes to the TRICARE pharmacy copayments are went into effect Oct. 1: Generic formulary drugs purchased at retail pharmacies will go from $3 to $5. Brand name formulary drugs from retail pharmacies will go from $9 to $12. Non-formulary medications will go from $22 to $25 in both retail and Home Delivery. Brand name formulary drugs purchased through Home Delivery will have the same $9 copayment. Copayments for prescriptions filled through Home Delivery cover a 90-day supply, but only a 30-day supply when purchased at a retail pharmacy. This is the first change to TRICARE pharmacy copays since 2002, Hunter said. Our goal is to keep costs as low as possible. Military, their families and retirees are increasingly using Home Delivery to get their maintenance medications conveniently delivered through U.S. mail saving TRICARE about $30 million in 2010. Use of Home Delivery has grown in 2011 by nearly 10 percent over 2010. More than 1 million prescriptions per month are filled through the service.

TRICARE investigating data breach

Officials: Risk of harm to recipients relatively low
By Donna Miles American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, D.C. The TRICARE Management Activity is reviewing its data protection policies and procedures in the wake of a data breach involving personal health information of an estimated 4.9 million military clinic and hospital patients. The breach potentially affects patients who received care or filled pharmacy prescriptions in San Antonio-area military treatment facilities from 1992 through Sept. 7, 2011, TRICARE spokesman Austin Camacho reported. Other beneficiaries who received care elsewhere, but whose laboratory workups were processed in San Antonio military treatment facilities, also could be affected, he said. Science Applications International Corp., a TRICARE contractor, reported the data breach Sept. 14. Backup tapes from an electronic health care record the military health system used to capture patient data since 1992 were lost, Camacho reported. The exact circumstances of the loss are part of TRICAREs investigation, he said. Those results are expected to be published as soon as possible. The tapes may include Social Security numbers, addresses and phone numbers, as well as personal health data such as clinical notes, laboratory tests and prescriptions, he said. No financial data such as credit card or bank account information is included. Despite the information involved, TRICARE officials estimate the risk of harm to patients to be relatively low. Reading the tapes takes special machinery. Moreover, it takes a highly skilled individual to interpret the data on the tapes, Camacho said. Since we do not believe the tapes were taken with malicious in-

Commitment to MIA Soldiers still strong

The defense secretary talked about the Defense Departments resolve to find missing service members. Over the years, slowly, methodically, we have been making progress in this effort, Panetta said. Six hundred men and women of this department, military and civilian, investigators and scientists, work tirelessly around the world to fully account for the more than 80,000 American service members who remain unaccounted for from last centurys conflicts. Panetta said this painstaking work is being carried out in the field and in laboratories in the United States. Because of these efforts, the remains of 98 missing American service members have been identified in the past year: 25 from the Vietnam War, 36 from the Korean War, 36 from World War II and one from World War I, he said. Navy Adm. James A. Winnefeld Jr., vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also spoke in honor of 142,000 Americans who have served our country as prisoners of war and the many thousands who are still missing.
tent, we believe the risk to beneficiaries is low. As TRICARE officials investigate, they plan to notify everyone whose personal information may have been involved in the breach, Camacho said. TRICARE and SAIC are working together to come up with that list of names, but because of the number of people potentially affected and the need to review multiple databases, Camacho said, individual notifications could take four to six weeks. In the meantime, TRICARE officials encourage people who suspect they were affected by this incident to take steps outlined on the Federal Trade Commission website to protect their personal information. They also can monitor their credit and place a free fraud alert on their credit for 90 days using the FTC website. Concerned patients may contact the SAIC Incident Response Call Center Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time. Stateside, patients may call toll-free to 855-366-0140. Overseas, patients can make collect calls to 952-556-8312. x
WASHINGTON, D.C. No country has matched the United States time, resources and commitment to accounting for its missing military members and honoring its prisoners of war, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta said in a speech here. During a Pentagon ceremony to honor National Prisoners of War and Missing in Action Recognition Day, the defense secretary talked about the nations commitment to accounting for its missing patriots and honoring prisoners of war. Today, as we honor those who have been in prison and those missing while defending our nation, we also honor their family members, the brave men and women who have kept those memories of their loved ones burning bright and who have never stopped pushing this nation, and its leaders, for the closure that they deserve, Panetta said. We do this because we believe that every life is precious, he continued, and because those who put their lives on the line for their country need to know that we will spare no effort to bring them home.
You have given so much in wearing the cloth of our nation, he said. You who have shown what it means to be an American when the chips are down and one must personally pay for that privilege. You should know that this nation is keenly aware of, and ever thankful, for your sacrifice. Winnefeld addressed families of former POWs and those missing in action. I know I speak for everyone here when I tell you how truly grateful we are for your sacrifices, he said. The uncertainty, concern and fear you have felt -and many still feel for the fate of your loved ones. As former Defense Secretary Gates said, Your presence today proves, once again, that the bonds of love transcend the passage of time, Winnefeld said. Panetta reaffirmed the DODs commitment to the families of those missing and encouraged everyone to support them. It should be all of us, as one family and one nation, he said. Pledge on this day, and every day, that as long as it takes to bring every American home, we will never stop working, we will never stop searching, and we will never stop thinking of those lost warriors. x

Pearl of Orient unlocks history, culture

By Kevin Jackson kevin.b.jackson1@korea.army.mil
MANILA Manila calls. Just a threeand-half hour flight from Seoul, the Pearl of the Orient founded by Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in 1571 offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into history and culture. Its single most popular tourist attraction is Intramurous the walled city constructed by the Spaniards from 1590-1872. Within the walls stretching 2.8 miles and covering 158 acres are Fort Santiago to the north, Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church, Casa Manila Museum and much more. Depending on how much time you can spare, a tour by kalesa, or horsedrawn carriage, may be the way to go. The two-and-half hour, Englishnarrated tour costs about 1,000 Pesos or $24, but be certain to negotiate your fare before you begin the tour. While many of Intramuros structures appear ancient, the monthlong Battle of Manila in 1945 obliterated the walled city. San Agustin Church the oldest place of worship in the country was the only structure left intact. The church, ironically, contains Legazpis mortal remains. It also houses a museum of artifacts, statues and oil paintings from old Manila. Casa Manila is just across the street. The pet project of former Philippines First Lady Imelda Marcos constructed in 1981 was built to resemble a Spanish colonial 1850 house. It offers insight into the lavish lifestyle of the time. And if you still didnt get your WWII fix, you can always take a day tour of Corregidor. The tadpole-shaped island 30 miles and a one-hour ferry ride from Manila played an important role in the invasion and liberation of the Philippines. Visitors can tour the ruins of military facilities, the Pacific War Memorial Museum, the Malinta Tunnel which was dug to house ammunition, food, supplies, a 1,000 bed hospital, and a lot more. No trip to Manila would be complete without visiting the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial. The perfectly manicured cemetery is the solemn resting place for 17,097 servicemembers who never made it home from WWII. Manila has this and so much to offer. See it for yourself. x

San Agustin Church in Intramuros was completed in 1606 and is the oldest church in the Philippines. It is one of four Philippines churches to be designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. Photo courtesy of Kevin Jackson
Fort Santiago - located at the north end of Intramuros or the walled city in Manila - is the oldest stone fortress in the Philippines. It was built for Spanish onquistdor Miguel Lopez de Legzpi. Dr. Jose Rizal was imprisoned here before his execution. The fort was captured by the Japanese and sustained heavy damage from Allied mortar attacks during the Battle of Manila in February 1945.

AFAP conference yields good times, good ideas

By W. Wayne Marlow warren.wayne.marlow@us.army.mil
CAMP HUMPHREYS Two days of brainstorming resulted in a set of ideas to improve the quality of life here during the Army Family Action Planning conference Oct. 6-7. Attendees were broken into groups focusing on different areas and, in all, 48 AFAP issues were identified. To end the conference, each group put two of their issues on display using vignettes. This usually entailed showing negative results obtained by using the status quo, followed by a cheerier world once the suggested changes had been implemented. This years issues will be looked at further following a Garrison commanders steering committee meeting next month. "You put on a fantastic program, USAG-Humphreys Command Sgt. Maj. Spencer L. Gray told the participants. You are doing great, relevant work for our Army. x

ACS hosts job fair

By Steven Hoover steve.hoover@us.army.mil
CAMP HUMPHREYS The Army Community Service Employment Readiness Program, here, hosted a Community Job Fair, Sept. 30, in the Super Gym. Spouses, Family members and just about anyone looking for employment, were invited to participate and speak with about 40 potential employers. This year, more than 300 military spouses, family members and soon to be retired Service members visited the Humphreys Community Job Fair, said Philip Chang, the Employment Readiness Program manager and coordinator of the event. The employers who participated were searching for employees to fill anything from clerical to specialized positions. Besides potential employers, organizations that are in the business of helping people find work, such as Army Career and Alumni Program and the Area III Civilian Personnel Advisory Center, were also in attendance. The job fair was very effective at showcasing all the job opportunities in the area, said Mandy R. Jarrett, a CPAC human relations assistant. It was nice that applicants were able to get all their questions answered straight from the organizations they were interested in. Prior to the job fair, attendees were encouraged to contact Chang for assistance in completing their resume. Looking for an employment opportunity is challenging because of the current world economic situation, Chang said. However, its not impossible to find what you are seeking; its about the timing and your readiness. For more information, contact Chang at 7538321. x

IMO serves as guardian of information security

By Jeong Hyuk-soo USAG Daegu Public Affairs
DAEGU GARRISON Fondly referred to as the IMO, the unit Information Management Officer is perhaps one of the most familiar names on any organizations team. Even so, it may not always be clear for a few just what it is the IMO staff does for the team. For U.S. Army Garrison Daegu, Alan Klingsieck, chief, Information Management, is the subject matter expert who doesnt mind educating Soldiers and employees on safety and security issues that cover computerrelated systems used in the government workplace. According to Klingsieck, IMO is responsible for anything that has to do with the transferring of information via telephone and computer networks. Safety and security are of grave importance. Everybody, including civilians and military personnel must adhere to the same regulations governing proper use of government telephone and computer systems. Korean student interns are also excluded from this requirement, but they are fully briefed on what they are allowed to do, and are reminded that they should never go over the line, said Klingsieck. Klingsieck explained how the level of security is decided. He said, My office will check the kind of information provided at each website, and then
Alan Klingsieck, Information Management Officer, USAG Daegu, explains about checking and managing computer networking. U.S. Army photo by Lee Seung-bin
decide the appropriate level firewall. This is based on whether access is vital to what the individual is working on. Profound consideration is given to what customers are able to access while working at their computer station. Klingsieck added, Computers are regularly checked to ensure that security patches and firewalls are working well. An individual wanting to better understand guidelines regarding Army and or DOD policy can go to AR25-1. There they will find specific details on what is or isnt allowed on government computers. All of us have seen the access denied message that pops up on a screen when a site has been blocked. So, you will see many websites or email accounts that are not accessible. On the other hand, you will find sites like Facebook, and a few other email accounts cleared for access so that individuals can conduct their official business and or contact a loved one back home. The IMO said that the worst violation among many of our computer users involves using the government email for personal reasons, and allowing unauthorized personnel CAC and computer access. Security is the word that Klingsieck wants to emphasize. No matter where you are or what you are doing security is important. This is true especially when dealing with information inside the Army. Everybody should be more cautious, and should review the basic policies and regulations. We want security to always be a primary thought for our Area IV community of system users. x

Soldiers get a kick out of riding the mechanical bull

DAEGU GARRISON Thats a lot of bull might have been the phrase of the evening as members from the U.S. Army Garrison Daegu community spent their evening enjoying a ride on the mechanical bull at the Hilltop Club, Sept. 30. The event was in support of Country & Western night, a favorite time for those Soldiers and family members who crave a little bit of the old west. Thanks to BOSS and the Hilltop Club, the event gave some diehard cowboys and cowgirls a chance to ride the bucking bull, and take aim at paper cups with their six-shooter, which was fully loaded with Nerf-like pellets. According to BOSS president Sgt. Carita Whaley, the mechanical bull is popular among many Soldiers. The Hilltop Club and BOSS combined their efforts to appeal to the different types of soldiers who enjoy country and western events like bull riding, she said. The occasion is also an opportunity for Soldiers to meet and socialize with other members of the community. Whaley, ensured every aspect of safety was covered while on the mechanical bull, provided riders with some very useful advice. Laying down the ground rules, she shared that the bull ride was

available to people of all ages. However, it was off limits to individuals with back injuries or other medical issues. Operators of the mechanical bull were responsible for more than just hitting the switch. Prior to the event, operators had to take part in safety training, as well, said Whaley. Part of the bull riding experience meant that we had to brief the riders on how to mount the bull and how to hold on or how to position their body. The one thing every rider was told was to simply say stop, if the ride became too much for them. Cpl. Billy Hung came out on top as the winner of the mechanical bull riding event. I came here with five of my fellow Marines, and my girlfriend. It was my first time to ride the bull, but I wasnt scared. I injured my finger because I held the rope so tight. Overall, it was a great experience and a great event. x
