REVISIT KOREA - FLASH MESSAGE
5/1/2007

We have just been informed that the Korea Veterans Association (KVA) Seoul, Korea, has substantially expanded the eligibility for veterans and their families to visit Korea on the official ROK government "Revisit Korea" subsidized tours. The following has been added to the eligibility:

Effective immediately, widows and children of Korean War Veterans killed during the war are eligible to participate in the Revisit Korea program.

IN ADDITION: Widows and children of Korean War Veterans who have died since the war OR of veterans who because of health reasons cannot travel, are also eligible to participate in the name of their veteran husband/father.

Specific instructions will be forth coming but the name, unit and dates of service OF THE VETERAN will be required to register for an official Revisit Korea Tour under this revised eligibility criteria.

For more specific information call the Revisit Korea Tours coordinator: Military Historical Tours, Alexandria, Virginia, 800-722-9501 or 703-212-0695. Email: MHT@miltours.com.

2007 Revisit Korea tour quotas remain for the following:

* This tour is over the Anniversary of the Inchon Landing.
** This tour is over the Anniversary of the "Chosin Reservoir" Campaign.

DOUBLE FLASH!
2007 REVIST KOREA QUOTAS INCREASED AGAIN
4/30/2007

We are pleased to announce that the 2007 “Revisit Korea” quotas have been increased again!  In addition, KVA Seoul has added a tour in October and PLEASE NOTE that the dates for our September Revisit have changed as well. Finally, all dates for the China Options have been changed from last month’s Graybeards.

If you HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED, please use the dates below as the final ones for planning purposes.

We have our President, Lou Dechert, to thank for these quota increases. He personally flew to Korea last fall to meet with KVA in Seoul and in addition to official business, lobbied for increased quotas. His flawless logic was, that although we don’t like to admit it, we are getting older and each year, more and more veterans are becoming unable to make that long journey and receive the appreciation of the Korean people.

In the last several years, many veterans have elected to join our post tour to China. Beijing is less than two hours flight time from Incheon. Since you are already in Asia, you can also enjoy the mysteries of China, from the “Forbidden City” to the “Great Wall”. My wife has joined me for this tour and she loved every minute of it! China is very exciting (and affordable), especially since you have already flown across the Pacific and your Revisit Korea tour has been subsidized by the ROK government. The ladies especially enjoy the shopping in both Korea and China.

AS IN THE PAST, these quotas will go very fast and we allot them on KWVA’s strict “first come first served” basis. The bottom line is: “He who hesitates, is lost!”

Please call our office, Military Historical Tours, at 800-722-9501 in Alexandria, VA with ANY questions. You can also apply on the phone, with a credit card, to place your name on the reservation list. Eligibility for these subsidized quotas is contained on the application form located elsewhere in The Graybeards.

Sincere and fraternal regards,

Warren Wiedhahn
