Once in a while we get notes from some of our readers who have visited places abroad and we'd like to begin sharing these with you.
One of the most poignant we have received is from little sister Dr. Maria Montoya-Hohenstein, who spent 10 days in Korea. One of the last things she through she'd find there when she visited the capital in Seoul was a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers from Texas who died there defending South Korea during the Korean War.
Mary wrote that: "Juan, I spent 10 days in Seoul and visited the war monument. This is what I saw: Spanish-surnamed Texans killed in action. The guide explained the debt South Koreans felt to the many states that sent soldiers during the Korean War. Korea is a beautiful young republic with immaculate cities and lush countrysides. Don't know if the folks on the wall are from Brownsville or the Valley. Someone should know that they were appreciated."
Doe any of out three readers know if any of those on the wall
are from our little corner of the world?
are from our little corner of the world?
Our respect and gratitude to the people of Korea for remembering and honoring our fellow citizens' sacrifice on their behalf.
Thank you, sis.
