KDVA and KUSAF Joint Message for “U.S.-ROK Alliance Memorial Week 2025” “2025 한미동맹 추모주간”을 위한 한미동맹재단·주한미군전우회 공동 메시지

In this week,  President of KDVA  Curtis M. Scaparrotti, U.S. Army (Retired)  General,  has announced a message for the U.S. and ROK Memorial Week. As a member of the association, I would like to thank God for the blood sharing alliance and to address his message on the coming memorial day in June 6, 2025.  이번 주 한미동맹재단 및 주한미군전우회 회장이신 스캐패러티 전 미 육군 장성께서 양국의 현충 주기를 맞아 다음과 같은 말씀을 하셨기에 한 회원으로서 양국이 혈맹관계를 맺도록 허락하신 하나님의 은혜에 감사하며 2025년 6월 6일 현충일을 맞아 그 취지를 전하고자 합니다.     "This week, between U.S. Memorial Day and ROK Memorial Day, we pause to remember the Americans and Koreans who gave their lives in defense of freedom. Their courage shaped the world we live in today, and their sacrifice binds our nations in shared purpose and deep respect. "이번 주, 미국의 현충일과 한국의 현충일 사이에서 우리는 자유를 수호하기 위해 생명을 바친 미국과 한국의 영웅들을 경건히 추모합니다. 그들의 용기는 오늘 우리가 살아가는 세상을 이루는 데 큰 역할을 했으며, 그들의 희생은 우리 두 나라를 공동의 목표와 깊은 상호 존중 속에 굳게 결속시켰습니다.

It was good to travel on Sunday and Monday, but there was a heavy traffic jam around the West Hanam IC and its lampway to Kangdong. It is needed to avoid the Kangdong lampway and preferably to the Hanam lampway or avoid the West Hanam IC. This travel for one-night and two-day costed us of 200,000 KRW half of which were for gas and hotel expenses. April 20, 2025 I and my wife started to drive my car at 09:00 for Kongju and entered into West Hanam IC taking the 2 nd Kyungbu Express...

The 1st US Marine Division in the Battle of Hwacheon 제1 미 해병사단의 화천지구 전투

This battle to be introduced was taken place in the area of Hwacheon, the west bank of the Pukhan river, and Chuncheon, when the UN forces advanced in the center front line to recover the lost territory from the 38th parallel. In the operation of the Dauntless, the 6th South Korean Division was concentratively attacked by the Chinese forces and defeated in flight. The 1st US Marine Division positioned on the right side of the 6th Division had to fight off in the withdrawal operation from the Hwachon frontline. In this situation, the performance of the 27th British Brigade dispatched to Kapyong urgently stopping the Chinese advance has been well addressed, but the struggle of the 1st US Marine Division on the right side of the British force has not been. 이 번에 소개하는 전투는 1951 년 4 월 중부전선을 주공으로 UN 군이 38 선을 수복하기 위한 공격작전인 Daultless 작전 중에 제 6 국군사단이 중공군의 집중 공격으로 패주하면서 인접한 제 1 미 해병사단이 화천 , 북한강 서안 및 춘천에서 철수하며 치룬 전투를 다루고 있다 .   중부전선이 붕괴될 수 있는 위기상황에서 가평에서의 긴급 출동한 제 27 영국 여단의 수훈은 잘 알려져 있지만 우...
