FLASH - 2010 - 2014 Revisit Korea Tours - FLASH
12/4/2009
60th Anniversary of the Korean War
2010 - 2014 For Immediate Release - Revisit Korea Tour Program Since 1975, the Republic
of Korea has been inviting Korean War Veterans, and family members, to return to Korea on a subsidized visit to
thank them for their sacrifices that saved their country from Communism. Thousands of veterans, from all the
Allied Countries that participated in the war, have enjoyed this sojourn to the "Land of the Morning Calm." The
Korean government pays for hotel rooms, meals and in country tours. Commencing in June 2010, the Revisit Korea
tours will be increased "three fold" and, for the first time, the ROK government is planning to subsidize the
airfare of both the veteran and his family member/companion. The Eligibility Requirements will also be relaxed
in view of the age of the veterans. The exact dates have not been published. However, they are planning on
five major commemorations, the first being the Invasion Anniversary, 25 June. This will be followed by the Pusan
Perimeter, the Inchon Landing, the Liberation of Seoul and the Northern Winter Campaign of 1950. It is
anticipated that these 2010 tours will be oversubscribed! If you are planning to participate, you must register
early. Registrations will be date stamped and will be "First Come - First Served"! To register, call
800-722-9501 or 703-590-1295. Check the KWVA web site at www.KWVA.org or
