Korean War Army Veteran, Charles Hamilton, and Ruth Crowley attended the June 21, 2023, Korean War Luncheon Memorial hosted by the Knoxville Area Korean Association (KAKA).
During the luncheon, Vet to Vet Tennessee (VTVT) announced that the Republic of Korea is still offering an all-expenses-paid trip to Korea for five (5) days for eligible Korean War Veterans and their spouses or significant others to visit the country through the “Revisit Korea Program”.
On May 8, 2024, Mr. Hamilton received an email stating that he and Ruth had been approved for the Revisit Korea 2024 program, thanks to the assistance of KAKA President Gina Wilson, VTVT President Ed Junod, and Revisit Korea 2024 Administrator Jimyopung Kim.
Last Friday, we met with Charles and Ruth to hear about their adventure in Korea. The most frequent word we hear from them is “we were treated like royalty!”
Mr. Hamilton and Ruth will be attending this year’s 22nd Annual Korean War Luncheon Memorial. If you want to hear the rest of their story, he will be present during the luncheon. The journey of their lifetime!
