Filipino Soldiers Memorial
Friday, May 11th, 2007
One day, the Captain invited me to come with him on a special trip somewhere. He didn’t tell what or where we’re going exactly, but that it maybe a little surprise for me. Little did I know….
On the outskirts of town, we stopped by a marker on the road which leads up to a shrine with a huge monument. Take this: The place was dedicated to a group of Filipino soldiers who fought with the South Korean Army against the communist North and China, during the Korean War! The Captain said in behalf of South Korea, I want to thank you and he bowed! Never did I felt so honored and overwhelmed with pride in a foreign country.
