This video is a video created by the Ministry of Patriot and Veterans Affairs (MPVA). The Korean government and other Korea Veterans organizations honored 10 Veterans who attended a Korea Revisit Tour administered by the Korea Defense Veterans Association (KDVA) and their spouses on November 28th – 4 December 2021.
These Korea Defense Veterans served after the Korean War. This is the first group of Korea Defense Veterans honored by MPVA, Korea-U.S. Alliance Foundation (KUSAF), Ministry of Defense (MND), and the Korea Veterans Association (KVA). We were also recognized by 7th Air Force, U.S. Forces Korea, Army Times, Korea Times, American Legion website, and a You Tube News Report of the trip as well as on other various websites.
During 1986-1987, SRA McCraw was stationed at Osan Air Base, Korea assigned to the 51st Security Police Squadron . When I left Korea, I obtained the rank of Sergeant. During this tour, I was able to see the base. It was a great experience as well as visiting other Army bases in Korea.
We participated in cultural events, Korean food tasting, honoring Korean War Veterans from other countries and states at the Korean War Memorial/Wall of Remembrance, banquets, luncheons, dinners, and shopping.
We have an amazing group of Defense Veterans who attended who served in Korea with the oldest stationed in Korea in 1954 and the youngest in 1991.
If you are interested in a future Korea Revisit Tour, please check out the Korea Defense Veterans Association (K.D.V.A) at www.kdva.vet. It is free to join as a Regular Member or Associate Member. Members are picked to go on the Korea Revisit Tours. Keep a look out for upcoming trips in 2022.

Korea Revisit Program
2022 Revisit Dates: October 23 – 29, 2022.
KDVA is very thankful for the ROK Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (MPVA) for sponsoring this important and exciting program. KDVA is managing the application and selection of Korea Defense Veterans who served in Korea since the signing of the Armistice Agreement on July 27, 1953.
There are 23 slots for U.S. Korea Defense Veterans along with a companion (spouses or helpers) for each Veteran. Participants will be selected from among KDVA members. For U.S. Defense Veterans who are not yet KDVA members and would like to be eligible for participation in the Revisit Program, please join KDVA as a Regular Member by August 16, 2022 at – it is free. JOIN KDVA >
Additionally, MPVA is providing two additional slots for the other Sending States, and a travel companion. The Sending States that supported/are supporting the United Nations Command in Korea are: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Columbia, Denmark, Ethiopia, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, the Republic of South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Over 3.3 million U.S. Service Members and thousands from the other Sending States have served in Korea since the signing of the Armistice Agreement.
MPVA will pay 100% airfare for Veterans and 50% for companions (spouses or helpers). MPVA will cover all other costs in Korea like meals, hotels, transportation, etc.
Apply by August 16, 2022.
Revisit Program
Subsidized Revisit Korea Tours Expanded The Republic of Korea (ROK) subsidized “Revisit Korea Tours” will be expanded in 2016. In addition, “Korea Defense Veterans” will be eligible to submit applications. “War” veterans will still have the first priority. However, as the war veterans age, “Defense Veterans”, those classified as having served in Korea from Oct 16, 1954 to the present, will be eligible to participate. In view of this major change, we are lowering the required tour deposit from $450.00 to a non-refundable sum of $50.00 per person. This will permit us to build up a larger inventory of veterans desiring to “Return”. When the monthly quotas are received from the ROK Minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, (MPVA), usually in February, we will notify “those registered” of the options, by month. If the “War” veterans slots cannot be filled, we will then offer them to the “Defense” veterans, that have pre-registered. This will be done on a “First come” basis. At that time, the balance due of $400.00 per person for administration, logistics and insurance will be due, and the veteran(s) will be billed. Important, please read carefully, all other eligibility requirements regarding health insurance, service “In, over, or around” Korea, etc., will remain applicable and can be read on the NEW Revisit Korea registration form in The Graybeards magazine, or at: www.KWVA.org or www.miltours.com. Note: Veterans that have previously registered with a $450.00 deposit, will have the first priority. You can read a history of the KWVA Revisit Korea Tours by clicking here (PDF File).

By Kang Seung-woo
Nine U.S. veterans, who served in Korea following the 1953 armistice ending the Korean War, revisited the country last month along with their family members.
The revisit program, the first of its kind by the Korea Defense Veterans Association (KDVA) and the Korea-U.S. Alliance Foundation, was sponsored by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (MPVA).
A total of 16 people made the five-day trip to Korea starting Nov. 29, visiting the Joint Security Area, Camp Casey, Camp Humphreys and Osan Air Base, where they served, according to the KDVA.
Additionally, they participated in the ROK-U.S. Alliance Night in Seoul, co-hosted by Defense Minister Suh Wook and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Wednesday. ROK is an acronym for the Republic of Korea.
“I am honored to revisit Korea 30 years later since I served in Korea in 1991. I miss my old base, Camp Greaves, in the north of the Imjin River. It is closed now. But I cannot forget my days in Korea, and I am very proud of how advanced the ROK has become in the world, and think my service here was very valuable,” said Kevin Miller from Pennsylvania.
“I thank the ROK government for the invitation to this meaningful event under the COVID-19 situation. I will try my best to enhance our alliance in the U.S. in the future,” Miller added.
KDVA President Vincent Brooks, a former U.S. Forces Korea commander, said that the 3.5 million Korea Defense Veterans and their families had great memories, and that they always miss their old days served with their ROK comrades in Korea.
“I have witnessed the powerful and emotional impact of the Revisit Korea Program over several years. I am excited by it. Thank you to the ROK government for the invitation and to our Korean comrades for welcoming us. The program now ― far from the first time ― includes Korea Defense Veterans. It is an honor for the KDVA to actively support this program,” Brooks added.
The MPVA, which has invited Korean War veterans, plans to expand the Revisit Program to those who served after the armistice was signed, as part of its efforts to strengthen the alliance.
Revisit Korea Tours
The Revisit Korea Tours subsidized by South Korea are no longer handled by the Korean War Veterans Association through Military Historical Tours.
They are now being run by the ROK Government’s Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (MPVA).
See the following documents for information on what is needed to sign up for the tours:

The “Revisit Korea” Program – Korean War Memorial Foundation
If you’re a Korean War veteran and aren’t familiar with the “Revisit Korea” program, you could be missing the opportunity of a lifetime. The following story and photos, courtesy of Fred C. Lash, retired Marine Corps officer and Director of Communications for the Korean War Veterans Association, will tell you all about this opportunity.
In 1975, on the 25th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, the Republic of Korea (ROK) government began the “Revisit Korea” program as a means to say thank you to all UN veterans of the Korean War and their family members. Each year since then, the ROK government appropriates a given amount of money for this special program, and the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (MPVA) in Seoul administers it. Korean War veterans selected for the “Revisit Korea” program are required to make their own airline reservations (assisted by the staff of Military Historical Tours: see below for contact details) and pay the airfares. Following the completion of the trip, veterans are reimbursed for 50% of the airfare. Any companion making the trip with the veteran is reimbursed for 30% of the airfare. The remainder of the trip is fully covered by the ROK Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (MPVA) including transportation within Korea, lodging, and all meals.
Working closely with Korean tourism groups, the MPVA shows America’s war veterans (and veterans of other allied nations who participated in the Korean War), the end result of the bloody conflict that took place in Korea between 1950 and 1953. South Korea’s rapid emergence from the ashes of the 1950s and its economic, social, and diplomatic development have been a great source of pride for foreign war veterans, who fought for the South under the United Nations banner. “This program is intended to express our gratitude to the war veterans. We also hope that the veterans would feel that their sacrifices were not in vain after looking at South Korea’s development,” stated the Honorable Sung Choon Park, Minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs.
Once they arrive, veterans visit a series of war-related venues, including the War Memorial of Korea; major military bases; the Joint Security Area in the Demilitarized Zone (Panmunjom); and an observation post near the inter-Korean border, not far from the “Bridge of No Return.”
NOTE: The eligibility criteria for the “Revisit Korea” program now include those who are categorized as “Korea Defense Service” veterans who have served in Korea from 1953 to the present time. Those individuals are also now eligible to join the Korean War Veterans Association (KWVA, www.kwva.org). According to the ROK Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, those who served during the war (1950-1953) still have priority when registering for the program; however, several Defense Service veterans have made the trip and are helping to bridge the gap between the war veterans’ experiences from 1950 to 1953, and current international issues and foreign policy matters currently involving the Republic of Korea.
These “Revisit Korea” tours are very popular, and fill up quickly. If you would like to participate in one of the upcoming tours, please contact Military Historic Tours, www.miltours.com, 703 590 1295.

Korean War Educator: KWVA
Revisit Program
Introduction
In 1975 (the 25th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War), the Republic of Korea’s government began the “Revisit Korea ” program as a means to say thank you to all veterans of the Korean War. Each year, the ROK government appropriates a given amount of money for this special program, and the Korean Veterans Association in Seoul administers it. Korean War veterans selected for the Revisit Korea program are required to make and pay for their own transportation to a designated international airport in the States, and pay their own airline fare to Korea . The remainder of the trip is free, including transportation in Korea , lodging, and food. Working closely with Korean tourism groups, Korea’s war veterans show America’s war veterans (and veterans of other Allied nations who participated in the Korean War) the end result of the bloody war that took place in Korea in 1950 to 1953. Revisit Korea guests are bussed to museums and tourist sites in and near Seoul, treated to special dinners and parties, and generally are also bussed to Panmunjom. Because the tourism industry generates millions upon millions of dollars each year in Korea, the revisit program is a great boon to the Korean airlines, as well as to the Korean economy. According to Warren Wiedhahn, Chairman of the Revisit Program, in 2002 the KWVA was informed that the Korean government was going to sponsor the popular Revisit Korea tours for at least two more years. Mr. Wiedhahn’s address is 4600 Duke Street, #420, Alexandria, VA 22304; phone 703-212-0695; fax 703-212-8567. The following information about the program that Wiedhahn chairs comes from The Graybeards magazine:
Eligibility Requirements Veteran must be a Korean War veteran or war correspondent from one of the 21 nations which came to the assistance of South Korea between June 25, 1950 and July 27, 1953. Immediate family members of those killed in action in the Korean War, as well as an immediate descendant, are eligible for the Revisit Program.
Revisit Privileges (a) Hotel accommodations (2 persons per room), meals, tours, and transportation while in Korea for 6 days and 5 nights (b) Tour of Seoul and its vicinity: itinerary includes visits of Panmunjom, North Korean Invasion Tunnels, Korean War Memorial Monument, National Cemetery, National Museum, Korean Folk Village, Korean War Museum, plus other cultural/industrial facilities and activities in the Seoul area. Other tours of battle sites and/or Inchon may be made through the local tour guide. (c) A special reception and dinner hosted by the President of the Korean Veterans Association (KVA) during which the Korean War Medal and Certificate of Ambassador for Peace will be awarded to each veteran who has not received it before.
Miscellaneous Information The KVA Revisit Program privileges are provided for scheduled groups only. Participants are required to be in possession of a valid passport. KVA ( Seoul ) is not responsible for any loss of, or damage to personal or other items, medical expenses, injuries, or loss of life due to any accident of whatever nature during the revisits. Trip insurance is available and recommended. The cost of the airline ticket must be borne by each individual visitor who will fly with the group. Applications will be received/accepted on a “First-come, First-served” basis. Those desiring to use frequent flier miles will be required to pay an administrative processing fee.
Veterans’ Testimonies Most members of the Korean War Veterans Association who have the opportunity to go on one of the KVA Revisit programs come back from the trip impressed with the changes they see in South Korea. While the airplane is heading to Seoul, they reflect back on the war-torn country they left behind when they returned to the States after their tour of duty in Korea during the years 1950 to 1953. Following are comments that were made by Revisit Program participants to the Korean War Educator:
Louis Schneider, 7451 Hidden Hills Dr. , Spring Hill , FL 34606: “I made the revisit trip June of 1997, and I must say it was more than I expected. I was treated like royalty by everyone, and the accommodations were first class. All the veterans I met had the same experience also. I served in Korea from Nov 1951 to April 1953. I served with the 44th Ord depot in Uijongbu, and later was transferred to the 74th Ord Battalion Headquarters in Seoul . The last several months, our outfit was moved to Ascom City at the main army depot.
During the revisit, I was very impressed with the greetings received from Korean people as we walked down the streets of Seoul , thanking us for what we had done for them. I never questioned our purpose being in Korea , but it made me feel good that the sacrifices made there were greatly appreciated. Revisiting Korea had always been a dream that I never thought would be fulfilled, but I am thankful to all that made it possible.”
Mike Glazzy, 3361 Williams Road , San Jose , CA 95117-2579: “At the time of my discharge, I said I would never go back to Korea , never sign up for an old Marineâs revisit, that I didn’t want to see those barren mountains again or feel the heat or hear the cold wind out of Siberia, but I was destined to return.
On that fateful June 23rd, 1950 weekend at the Marine Base Quantico Virginia, I assumed the night duty at the base communication center. In the early morning hours of Sunday June 25th, the communication line from the Pentagon Building illuminated. I was surprised by this unusual traffic, the urgent message being, ” South Korea has been invaded” and at that time, did not realize this privileged information would result later in my orders to Choson, “land of the morning calm.” My fate was set to serve with the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Ground Control Intercept Squadron 3, Pohang, Korea 1951-1952, as a radar technician.
But now, 50 years later I returned with thousands of Korean veterans from 21 nations to commemorate the signing of the July 27, 1953 armistice, ending 37 months of brutal fighting up and down the 525-mile long peninsula. This was our final hurrah. There are no more 50th anniversaries. For almost all, a 75th is out of the question!
As the boys of the early 1950 era, now white haired and tempered by age, received their final tribute at the “Salute to Heroes” banquet in Seoul, the string of 50th anniversary commemorations which began with: the observance of the unexpected invasion by the North Korean Peoples Army across the 38th parallel, the 8th Army’s stand at the Pusan Perimeter, X Corps Inchon invasion, Marines at the Changjin (Chosin) Reservoir and the Iron Triangle, has finally run its course. From this point on, there probably will be only memories; no more parades; few, if any tributes.
From around the world, as far away as Australia, Belgium, Ethiopia, Greece, India, Italy, New Zealand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, thousands of veterans from all military branches came to this final observance and to remember their fallen buddies. And, there were others from Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, South Africa, Sweden, and Thailand who also joined in the camaraderie. You could tell who they were by their caps, uniforms, badges, and of course, by their native language. Some still groomed their wartime handlebar mustaches!
Disembarking Korean Air Flight 017 at the new Inchon International Airport after eleven hours at 37,000 feet, a sense of nostalgia overcomes one’s being. Your mind drifts back to what was and what is, as we rode to our Sofitel Ambassador Hotel in Seoul. The ravages of war have been replaced with a lush landscape of trees, disguising ridgelines of battle, and planted along heavily traveled streets. High-rise residential buildings, as far as the eye can see, raise 25 stories from the base of each mountain.
Korean War veterans, we cannot escape history! We, as young men, stepped forward with our invincibility of youth to defend an ancient nation against communist aggression. In defense of freedom, we won the first battle of the “cold war” and provided the opportunity for South Korea to become an economic power in Asia. Let us, the United States, maintain this unique bond we have with the Korean people until North and South Korea become united as one nation and experience the freedoms we have in America. Semper Fidelis, “Always Faithful.”
Al Ratner, 7233 Lugano Dr., Boynton Beach, FL 33437-6084:
I formerly served in the 45th Division, 180th Regiment. I had the opportunity to participate in the KWV’s Revisit Program in 1996. We boarded Korean Air at 11 a.m. for 14 hours non-stop to Seoul. We flew north over Canada and Alaska, and north of the Aleutian Islands and then over to Japan and on to Seoul, arriving at 5 p.m. We were put in the Hotel Sofitel Ambassador, a very nice hotel. We went on a bus for Panmunjom (Camp Bonifas), where we had a briefing and tour of all non-restricted areas. We were taken inside the building where the cease fire was signed, and allowed to sit at the table that separates North and South Korea. We were on two buses. The older Koreans were very glad to see Korean War veterans. Every Korean War veteran should at one time take a revisit trip. We also toured Inchon Landing Operations Hall.
Korea War veterans hosted a reception for American Korean War veterans and veterans from other countries who participated in the Korean War. The reception and dinner was held in the Hotel Lotte. All Korean War veterans were warmly received, and all veterans were given a Korean War veterans medal and a certificate of “Ambassador of Peace”, as well as a bracelet printed in English and Korean.
When I was in Seoiul during the war, Seoul had nothing. Today, Seoul is like any big city in the USA. The Han River from Seoiul to Panmunjom about 25 miles is fenced with barbed wire on top and there are guard posts every few hundred feet. The banks of the river are also mined from the fence to the river.
