We missed each other in Korea by a year. I was at the JSA in Panmunjom from Aug '87 - Sept '88. The Imjin Scout Badge is still my most prized possession from my days in the Army.
Scouts Out!

Very Nice! I was a 2nd Platoon Mad Dog. What a great place to spend a tour. I went back to see the place in '03, wow! The whole sunken garden area had changed and Bonifas looked a whole different two.

US Army (ret) 24 years. Signed up to defend the US from Soviet aggression and ended up protecting and fighting people of the Muslim faith.
Protecting = SFOR (Bosnia) & KFOR (Kosovo).
