to the Nation. We share a bond with
those who have gone before us —
the oath taken to defend the
Constitution against all enemies,
foreign and domestic. That oath is a
commitment to our Nation and a
promise to its people — to guarantee
the well-being and success of our
country.
We can best honor and recognize
those who served before us by
continuing to protect the freedoms of
our nation. We owe it to them not to
squander this gift through needless
loss of life. Today, the exceptional
work done by each of you plays a
deciding role in the course of human
events. Around the globe, American
forces remain our most visible forms
of courage, trust, and cooperation.
On this Memorial Day, I want

Summer Safety Tips

Soldiers, Civilians and family
members are reminded to stay safe and
enjoy summer recreational activities by
always practicing the following bicycle
safety tips:
1. Always drive near the curb in the
same direction as traffic and single file.
2. Competing with high speed,
heavy traffic is dangerous. Look for
safer, less traveled routes.
3. Be alert to surface conditions and
traffic all around you. Road hazards
such as rocks, potholes, glass, and
other debris can cause a bicyclist to
lose control. Riding in wet weather is
hazardous.
4. Visibility is a problem - for cars
and bicycles. Bicyclists must make
themselves and their bikes more visible.
Wear brightly colored clothing and a
reflective vest. Never ride at dusk or
night unless your bicycle has a white
headlight and a red tail light or reflector
in the back. The larger the reflector the
more visible you are.
5. Know local traffic laws and
signals. Most laws and regulations that
govern auto traffic also apply to
bicyclists.

“This class is aiming at helping the
children who have a strong will to
learn, but cannot afford the tuitions.
It is also intended to provide better
opportunities to keep dreams and
visions for them to overcome their
adversities,” said Jin Park, business
entrepreneur and church member.
The idea for this program was
developed between Park and the
USFK Provost Marshall Sgt. Maj.
Patrick O’Connor. In the 1983, they
served together as military policemen
at Camp Page.
Park was part of the Korean

“Being exposed to people in the
community, there are all these
opportunities for our Soldiers to make
life long friendships. I’m a case in
point, I’ve got a friend I met 24 years
ago and that’s what this program is all
about. It’s about getting out there and
building those friendships,” said
O’Connor.

had three years active duty under his

used the bi-annual training to put some
senior specialists in the hot seat as
“team leaders.”
“We are also using this to prepare
our next generation of team leaders.
So during this training we have the
team leaders or senior team members
swap places with their assistants. The
assistants need to make the decisions.
In today’s environment, that specialist
could be called upon to be a team leader
much more quickly than in the past.

USFK tests evacuation readiness

By David McNally
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — More than 6,200
community members practiced processing through
an Emergency Evacuation Center May 17-19 at
Collier Field House for an exercise named
“Courageous Channel.”
The event is a regularly scheduled biannual
exercise that rehearses procedures for a
noncombatant evacuation operation.
“We improve every time we do this exercise,”
said U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan Deputy
Garrison Commander Don Moses, during a May
18 walk-through.
Camp Casey Soldiers set up stations at the EEC
and processed “evacuees” through the exercise,
giving briefings, answering questions and
maintaining order.
“When we drove up to the parking I was
amazed by the attitude from the 2ID Soldiers,”
said exercise participant Jay Kelker. “They were
very professional and courteous. From start to
finish it was a display that was unforeseen.”

“It was the best one I have ever been to,” he
said. “My hat is off to them.”
Exercise participant Jesus Santana agreed.
“They were very fast and professional,” he
said. “I wasn’t even in there 15 minutes. The
longest part was the briefing.”
As part of the exercise, more than 30 Yongsan

to a U.S. military installation in Japan.

YONGSAN GARRISON — The

Evacuation Operation exercise may have
been the one with all the smiling military

Thanks to a 618th Dental Company

a cleaning and exam.
“Most of the retirees were surprised
and excited,” said Sgt. Angelica Johnson,

Normally, retirees are not seen at
Yongsan dental clinics, even on a space
available basis.
“I understand the only clinic in Korea
that will see retirees is at Osan Air Base,”
Johnson said.
But through a plan to entice retirees
to attend the NEO exercise, Army dental

Two small MWR facilities close doors for good
By David McNally
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — Two
small Morale, Welfare and Recreation
clubs at Camp Market and the Far East
District Compound closed last week.
Garrison officials said they closed
the FED Compound East Gate Club
and the Camp Market Club because
of a small authorized patronage,
declining revenues, cost of service
contracts, utilities and labor and age
of the facilities.
“We just felt that it was time to move
forward,” said Deputy Garrison
Commander Don Moses.
Moses said both operations were
“basically marginal.”
“Over the years, they outlived their
usefulness,” he said.
Garrison officials considered the
authorized status of forces agreement
populations at both FED Compound
and Camp Market. Both locations are
work-only installations. There are few
Soldiers, and no barracks or billeting

Triva quiz checks Asian history knowledge
By Cpl. Jung Jae-hoon
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON —
More than 50 community members got
a chance to learn about historic Asians
by participating in a May 3 trivia quiz
at the Yongsan Main Exchange.
The U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan
Equal Opportunity Office hosted the
event to promote Asian-Pacific
American Heritage Month.
“This is one of the many activities
that we’re doing to promote the month
of May as Asian Pacific American
Heritage Month,” said Garrison Equal
Opportunity Advisor Sgt. 1st Class
Myra Watson. “We’re doing a trivia
contest to identify famous Asians that
some people might not be aware of.”
Watson posted 10 pictures of
famous Asians on a board with
biographies and names. The
participant who got all the answers
correct received an Army and Air

The garrison also worked closely

“This promotes a good harmony

“Just like in Black History month,

African Americans, now we get to
learn about Asian history, which makes

Hazely got all 10 questions correct
and received the prize.
“It was pretty hard, but I got all the
answers correct,” said 25th
Transportation Battalion Master Sgt.
Shari Harris-Sears. “I tried out
because I support the EO, but besides
that, trying out for these kinds of trivia
quizzes is very educational and fun.”
“The purpose is not only to test an
individual’s Asian history knowledge
but also to educate them as well,”
Watson said. “The feedback was
excellent. Everyone enjoyed it.”
placed at other Seoul-area MWR
facilities.
“Both locations are nonenduring
installations,” Moses said. “They will
be turned over to the Republic of
Korea upon implementation of the
Yongsan Relocation Plan.”
Moses said it also did not make
“financial sense” to continue investing
in the clubs.
“Given the low patronage and low
return on investment, it’s just not
financially beneficial,” he said. “I
believe we should have done this
earlier.”
Many clubs have come and gone
over the years, said Garrison MWR
Director Paul Robinson. Robinson
arrived in Korea in 1957 and has been
here ever since.
“These clubs were here as far back
as I can remember,” Robinson said.
“If you have been around as long as I
have, you have a feeling about it, but
when you look at the fact that there
are few Soldiers there, they are
financially struggling, the buildings are
not in great shape ... the timing is right.”
Gates 12, 17 set

YONGSAN GARRISON —
Two heavily-used Yongsan gates
will soon close for extensive
renovations.
Gate 12, the pedestrian
entrance from Itaewon near the
Army and Air Force Exchange
Service Gas Station, will close
while workers install a new
pedestrian turnstyle.
The work is scheduled to last
from June 1-15.
Gate 17, near the 121st Combat
Support Hospital, will close to
vehicular traffic for four months.
“It will be closed June 20 until
September,” said Garrison
Emergency Services Director
Ricky Oxendine. “This will be the
next step in the complete
renovation of Gate 17.”
During the extended Gate 17
renovation project, only authorized
access-card holders will be
processed at the Gate 17
pedestrian gate. The Gate 17
Visitor Center will be closed.
Visitors and visitors with vehicles
may process through Camp Coiner
Gate 20. Pedestrian visitors may
still process through Gate 10.
When the project is finished,
there will be expanded parking,
three lanes of traffic and other
improvements at the gate.

Reno 911!: Miami — The rag-tag
team of police officers from The
Washoe County Sheriff’s Department
in Reno, Nevada gets invited to Miami
Beach for a national law enforcement
convention. Led by Lieutenant Jim
Dangle, the deputies happily make the
trip to the gathering. Unfortunately,
Dangle’s inadequacy at handling the
reservations leaves the entire group
without passes to the conference
and without rooms at the hotel where
all the other police officers are
staying. Their visit gets a lot more
interesting when a terrorist bio attack
is carried out on the convention
center. While every single officer is
sealed off inside as part of a
quarantine, the Reno group ends up
as the only law enforcement on the
outside. The eight cops are forced to
take on Miami’s crime problems all on
their own. Rated R (sexual content,

Who is my neighbor?
By Chaplain (CPT) Byung K. Min
Camp Carroll Installation Chaplain
There was a lawyer who put Jesus to the test.
The lawyer asked Jesus a question, “Sir, who is my
neighbor?” Then, Jesus told him a story of the Good
Samaritan. “There was a man who was going down
to Jericho,” Jesus said, who met robbers on the way.
Robbers stripped him and beat him, and went away
leaving him half-dead. The man was very badly
wounded. If he had remained like that in the middle
of desert, I am sure he would have died eventually.
In this story there were three different persons
who passed by him. First, a priest passed him by.
Second, a Levite passed him by. Third, a Samaritan
stopped to see how he could help. The priest was
going down to Jericho. Maybe he was on the way
back home after his duty. Maybe he had a counseling
appointment. On his way, he found the person who
was beaten by robbers. Guess what, he saw him,
but he passed by on the other side. There was a
Levite. Also on his way, he saw him but passed by
on the other side. After a while, a Samaritan was
going near the wounded man. He saw the man.
When he saw him, he felt compassion. He came to
him. He bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and
wine on his wounds. In addition, he put him on his
beast. He brought him to an inn and took care of
him. On the next day, he took out two denarii and
gave them to the innkeeper and said, “Take care of
him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I
will repay you.”
Brothers and sisters, who was a neighbor to the
man who fell at the hand of the robbers? The
Samaritan! Yes! Right answer! There are two
May 25, 2007
http://ima.korea.army.mil/imakoroweb/sites/local/ 15
significant lessons I found. First, he had a heart like
God. He had compassion! When he saw the man,
he felt compassion, which is God’s love. When the
Samaritan saw the man, he felt compassion. Second,
the Samaritan expressed his compassion. In other
words, he has showed love to the man. He came to
him. He bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and
wine on him. He put him in his POV, brought him to
an inn, and took care of him. The Samaritan spent
his own money for him and promised to pay for all
the man needed to recover. Brothers and sisters,
when you see someone who needs your help, then
you feel compassion for the person. Then your love
and compassion is expressed by doing something.
To help or show love to someone makes your life
better.When you share the love of God with your
neighbor, your life is going to be very fruitful. I would
like to encourage you to “Be a good neighbor”
“Would you go and do the same for others who are
made in God’s image.” Brothers and sisters, who is
your neighbor? Answer that question yourself.

Warriors revel at Casey hukilau

By Jim Cunningham
USAG-RC Public Affairs
USAG-Casey—A very popular
event for tourists in Hawaii is the
hukilau, a community fishing festival on
the shore. Everyone helps draw in the
huge fishing net and shares in the
catch. And, still more entertainment is
provided by the rhythm of native
dancers who perform in ti leaf skirts
and dance to the music of ukuleles and
Hawaiian guitars.
A Warriors version of the hukilau
played out at the outdoor pavilion of
USAG-Casey’s Gateway Club May
19 where four roasted pigs were hauled
up and consumed by Soldiers,
dependents and civilians while
entertainment was provided from
Samoan dance groups, Korean folk

troupes and traditional Hawaiian
performers. Warriors are invited to dance with a popular Samoan dance group during the May 19 hukilau festivities.Five different dance
groups entertained May 19.
“The idea for having a hukilau at
Casey originated with the Morale,
Welfare and Recreation folks,” said
Sgt. Maj. Rickey Rose, USAG-Casey
Sgt. Major. “Sgt. Pak, our equal
opportunity NCO wanted to do
something for Asian Pacific Heritage
Month. I tossed out the idea of having
a luau which got transformed into the
idea of a hukilau.”
After the success of USAG-
Casey’s Mardi Gras, the decision was
made to build on previous experience
to bring success to the hukilau.
“We decided to do this kind of
festival for the Soldiers on camp to give
them an alternative to going down to
the Ville,” Rose said. “We wanted to
have day cultural and night programs.”
Cultural events studded the day and Korean folk dancers and performers perform in the Hukilau to kick-off the festivities.
the nighttime festivities began with a This group is Solmunori from Seoul.

“To build to a crescendo for the
evening is the bon fire,” Rose said.
“Also, we have the limbo dancing and
a dance a thon. We are hoping to keep
the Soldiers on the camp with these
activities, to include two ticket give a

The events for day and night were
studded with famous Asian dancing
groups and performers from Hawaii,
a Samoan group call ROKSA, who
performed the fire dance at the bon
fire, traditional Philippine bamboo
dancers and many solo musical and
dancing acts.

Contact MWR for a complete listing
of upcoming events and activities.
The ‘Waterful’ new Splish & Splash
Water Park here opened Thursday for
the season and will offer a “free”
weekend from now through Tuesday
in honor of the Memorial Day
Weekend.
“We need a shakedown cruise
anyway, so we decided the full
Memorial Day Weekend – to include
Tuesday’s Training Holiday – would
be the ideal time,” said Family &
MWR Business Chief Mike Ross.
“Since this is a brand new facility
and the first of its type in the Pacific,
there are going to be some bugs to
work out. Besides that, if it wasn’t
for our fellow veterans who paid the
supreme sacrifice we wouldn’t be
looking at a prosperous South Korea
and a beautiful facility like Splish &
Splash to start with.”
Located directly across from the
USAG-Humphreys Walk-Thru Gate
and about 500 yards to the right of
the main drive-through gate, Splish &
Splash features a 50-meter swimming
pool, two water slides, a 3- and 2-One
Meter Diving Boards and diving well,
an amphitheatre, a large deck, a
volleyball court, a snack bar and a
large pool deck.
But the most unique feature of the
new facility is the Children’s Water
Park – complete with a dragon
waterslide, spouting mushrooms,
spitting amphibians, water circles and
a water fort. Shots of water spit up
unannounced throughout the zero-
entry children’s area, assuring a lot
of fun, surprises and refreshing
sprays.
Built with Non-Appropriated Funds,
Splish & Splash is unlike any other
water entertainment area in the
Pacific and is similar to water parks
at Fort Knox in Kentucky and Fort
Jackson in South Carolina.
Normally, it will cost $2 a person
for Junior Enlisted Personnel (E1-E-
5) and $3 a person for all other
authorized MWR users. There will
also be a daily Family fee -- $4 for
Junior Enlisted and $6 for all others.
A Family includes Mother, Father and
their Children – no matter what the
number.
While the Memorial Day Weekend
is free, Water Park Passes will still
be available for purchase.
Splish & Splash is offering two
types of Passes – the unique 10-plus-
1 Card and a Season Pass which is
good from now until the park closes
for the season in September.
The 10-plus-1 Cards are $20 for a
single Junior Enlisted and $40 for the
Family. Everyone else pays $30 for
an Individual or $60 for the Family.
After 10 punches, the card is good
for an 11th visit free of charge.
Season passes are $50 for
Individual Junior Enlisted and $100 for
the Family and $75 for all other
Individuals or $150 for the Family.
Although located at Humphreys,
Splish & Splash is opened to all
personnel authorized to use MWR
facilities.
“We don’t care if your from
Yongsan, Osan, Daegu, Area I or
Kunsan,” Ross said. “Splish & Splash
is a large facility and it has room for
everyone.”
Further information about Splish &
Splash can be obtained by calling 754-
6412 (DSN) or 031-619-6412
(Commercial). Hours are 11 a.m.-
9 p.m. daily.

USAG-Humphreys gets new commander

By Andre D. Butler
USAG-Humphreys Public Affairs
USAG Humphreys – Col. John E.
Dumoulin Jr., took command of
USAG-Humphreys during a change of
command ceremony on May 18 at
Soldiers Field here.
Col. Michael J. Taliento Jr., the
outgoing commander leaves the area,
but will assume a position on the United
States Forces Korea special staff in
USAG-Yongsan. Brig. Gen. Al A.
Aycock, the Installation Management
Command – Korea Region, director
and the guest speaker for the
ceremony, commended Taliento for a
job well done during his tenure as
USAG-Humphreys commander.
“Today we bid farewell to an
outstanding command team and Family
— Col. Mike Taliento, his wife Tammy
and their two children, Christian and
Emma,” Aycock said.
“Make no doubt about it — this is a
significant ceremony because the task
of transforming Camp Humphreys is
an enormous one, and Mike, you
should be very proud.”
With the ongoing construction
projects that are taking place at
Humphreys, Aycock said that he is
more than confident in his incoming
commander’s ability as a leader, and
he is sure Dumoulin is up to the
challenge of guiding Humphreys in the
right direction.
“I couldn’t be more certain that you
are the best choice for command of
this garrison,” said Aycock of
Dumoulin. “I have enormous
confidence in your abilities.”
During the ceremony, Dumoulin
expressed his sincere gratitude for
being handed the reigns for
Humphreys as well his sentiment
about being a warfigher in today’s
Army.
“What a great day to be a Soldier,
Family member, Civilian, retiree and
contractor here in the United States
Army Garrison-Humphreys.”
Dumoulin said.
“I look forward to this new and
most challenging assignment.”
USAG-Humphreys is the focal
point for the U.S. military during a time
in which it is diligently trying to
transition into a more flexible and more
diverse force.
This reconstruction concept is the
driving force behind the camp’s
transformation efforts, and the growth
promises to be substantial.
“The master plan for the future
expansion of Humphreys is an
incredible undertaking,” Dumoulin said.
“Our garrison mission to support
readiness and mission execution
remains paramount,” he added.
“Together we will continue to make
Humphreys the premier assignment in
Korea and in the Army,” said ANDRE D. BUTLER

WONJU — In a remote area such as Wonju

Commander recognizes Wonju resident

Wonju
By Andre D. Butler
USAG-Humphreys Public Affairs
Recently, Maj. Bruce L. Townly, commander of
Camps Long and Eagle, presented Rebecca
Poppleton with the Commander’s Award for Public
Service.
Poppleton, a family member, has donated
countless hours of service to the Wonju Enclave.
Townley writes that Poppleton is one of the most
dedicated volunteers he’s had the pleasure of
knowing over his 21 years of service. Her primary
volunteer work is as the senior advisor to the garrison
commander for the 1-2nd Aviation Battalion at Camp
Eagle. Poppleton can easily be found seven days a
week in her family readiness group office, the
garrison headquarters, the movie theater or the post
office. She freely gives her time to all of the facilities
because she enjoys serving Soldiers and their Family
members. Poppleton attends many garrison functions
and activities as an undercover journalist and
photographer. She has published numerous articles
in USFK newspapers. Townley admits that
Poppleton could easily earn a large paycheck for
what she does, but says that is not what she is about.
Married to a Chief Warrant Officer for 15 years,
she understands what being a military spouse is all
about and finds ways to make life better for the
military Families. Townley further mentions a phrase
framed by Poppleton – “when momma’s not happy,
the Soldiers not happy.” This is a surefire way of
knowing that she understands — if warfighters are
taken care of, missions will never be compromised
because the Soldiers will always be willing to perform
their duties.
Poppleton is thrilled to get involved with projects
that will improve the quality of life for all Soldiers,
Civilians and Family members.
And to add something extra to what she unselfishly
gives, Poppleton ends her days by volunteering as
the hostess at the movie theater welcoming patrons
and running concessions.

The Armed Forces Day Celebration, held by
United States Army Garrison – Daegu, included
several performances and static displays for

“It takes a lot of hard work and many people are
involved in this event today,” said Chief Warrant

event is to show our appreciation to the community
for their continuous support. Without their support,
the Army can’t function properly.”

Korean children lasting memory
By Park Hae-ju
USAG – Daegu Public Affairs
CAMP HENRY – The 837th
Transportation Battalion invited 65
elementary school students and their
13 teachers from Nam-gu District to
Camps Henry and Walker May 16 for
an afternoon of activities.
The students and teachers are from
eight different schools, including
Yeongseon Elementary School near
Camp George. It is the first time the
battalion invited them to visit the U.S.
Army installations since it adopted the
school and began teaching English to
the children last September. The
adopt-a-school program is one of the
objectives of the U.S. Forces Korea
Good Neighbor Program.
Arriving on Camp Henry at the
battalion’s headquarters, the students
were greeted by Lt. Col. Joseph E.
Calisto, the 837th Trans. Bn.
commander, who welcomed them to
his unit and to Camp Henry.
The students were divided into two
groups for activities with both visiting
the Bowling Center and the Youth
Center to go bowling and play
basketball, respectively.
At the Bowling Center, Lt. Col.
Joseph E. Calisto chose bowling shoes
for the children using his best judgment
because the children were unfamiliar
with American shoes sizes. Judging
from the children’s reactions, it was
an enjoyable, if not a new experience
for many of them.
“It’s the first time to go bowling in
my life and I didn’t have any interest
in it,” said Seo Joon, Namdeok

Park Seong-eun, Nammyeong Elementary
School 5th grader, dribbles the ball with
instructions from Sgt. Maj. Willie L. Jacobs, 837th
Trans. Bn.
Elementary School 5th grader.
“However, it was the most interesting
activity today because it was a new
experience for me.”
Children also had time to play
basketball and receive instructions from
Sgt. Maj. Willie L. Jacobs, 837th Trans.
Bn., at the Youth Center. He taught
them how to pass a ball, such as a
bounce pass, a chest pass, and a no-
look pass. When he showed them a
slam dunk, they cheered and shouted
for joy. Children, especially the boys,
were in envious of his height and
basketball prowess.
Following these activities, the group
moved to the Child and Youth Services
Youth Center, where they enjoyed hot
dogs and drinks before a short closing
ceremony.
Lee Yang-jo, the Yeongseon
Elementary School principal, presented
a certificate of appreciation and a wall
clock to express appreciation to the
battalion for helping his students learn
conversational English and for the
day’s activities. The 837th Trans. Bn.
previously received a certificate of
appreciation from the school for its
outstanding volunteer support to
students on December 15, 2006.
“It is very important that we do these
kinds of things so that the Korean
children understand what the
Americans bring to their country and
how much we appreciate what they
do here for us, and they get a better
understanding. It is important that we
as ambassadors from the United States
here and as guests in the Republic of
Korea have outreach programs through
the Good Neighbor Program,” said Lt.
Col. Joseph E. Calisto, the 837th
Transportation Battalion commander.
But the battalion’s Soldiers and
civilians weren’t the only ones who
enjoyed the activities. Some of the
students live adjacent to the U.S.
Army’s installations in Daegu and they
could only wonder what lies inside.
“I live in a high-rise apartment
building near Camp Walker so I can
look down on the golf course from my
apartment. I have been eager to come
into Camp Walker and finally I had the
chance. I am very excited,” said Park
Seong-eun, Nammyeong Elementary
School 5th grader.
Since beginning to teach English to
the students last Fall, the battalion has
also visited and provided them treats
for Halloween and cookies for
Christmas.

168th Medical Battalion takes aim at cancer with
educational programs and running event
By Capt. Mike Schardinger
168th Med. Bn. Public Affairs
CAMP WALKER – More than 75 runners
gathered for the 7th Annual Cancer Awareness
Running Event (C.A.R.E.) on Camp Walker’s Kelly
Field May 18 to cap off a full week of educational
awareness events designed to take aim at one of the
world’s deadliest enemies - cancer.
During May 11 to 18, the 168th Medical Battalion
(Area Support) proactively educated Eighth U.S.
Army communities throughout Areas I through IV
on various types of cancers to include testicular,
breast, lung, stomach, colon, skin, brain, pancreatic,
lymph node, spinal, cervical. With the expertise of
the 129th Medical Detachment (Veterinary), family
pet cancers were also addressed this year for the
first time.
The 168th Medical Battalion hosts the week-long
annual event as a way to educate beneficiaries and
local Korean community members on preventive
measures and realities of various types of cancer.
Traditionally, the event has coincided with Armed
Forces Day weekend. In May 2001, the battalion
originally focused on a one-day event that held
educational booths, and a vigil for all those family
members who succumbed to cancer locally and back
home in the U.S. A 12-hour overnight relay event
was held in Area IV with teams from all over the
Peninsula. In 2002, a silent lap was added with all
relay runners walking an additional lap on Kelly Field

with candles. In 2003, participants/teams were able
to run/walk for 20 hours straight with a concert,
continuous music, and a candle light vigil with local
cancer survivors. In 2004, the current format was
adopted with a larger vision to expand cancer
The Morning Calm Weekly
awareness to additional areas on the Peninsula. The
C.A.R.E. relay was modified to include 10K and
5K races, and a 2K family fun walk.
Today, the 168th Med. Bn. solicits support from
generous local organizations, plans, and executes this
entire event every year with growing success. The
running event has also expanded to Camp
Humphreys in Area III. All events were extremely
successful this year with some incredible
performances in the 10 and 5 kilometer races. Staff
Sgt. Thomas Garza, D, 2-1 Air Defense Artillery,
was the overall winner of the 10K (39:21), while Lt.
Col. Marty Muchow of the Defense Logistics
Agency took honors in the 5K (19:55). In the 2K
Family Fun Walk/Run, kids of all ages took advantage
of the fantastic weather to walk, roll, and stroll their
way across the finish line as the final event of the
morning.
Although this year’s C.A.R.E. is barely concluded,
discussions are taking place for next year’s effort.
An effort of this type can only be accomplished by a
lot of hard work from the Soldiers of the 168th Med.
Bn., the support of garrison leadership, and generous
donations from long-term supporters such as the
Association of the U.S. Army, Veterans of Foreign
Wars Post #10033, Taegu Spouses Association. This
year, additionally funding was provided by the Omega
Psi Phi fraternity, and the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
The battalion looks forward to putting on an even
better event for 2008.
