I enjoyed my time at Camp Howze, and I guess I'll never forget it ... back in the 1980s. We were close enough to the DMZ to be concerned and have a very interesting job, but far enough away to also have a good time when it was quittin' time.

June 54 to Sep 55. 16 months under canvas on a folding cot. At Camp Casey, Sep 54 to Sep 55, I was pleased to be able to walk less than 1 klic to the Engineer shower point. As 7th ID, Signal Co wire maintenance troops we often had wire "outages" that required we take a jeep to repair the "problem anywhere in the 7th ID area.

Looking at the war from another perspective and time, the sacrifice seems to lose its impact. However, just by looking outside and going offpost, I see the achievements in what my uncle has put his sweat into and what his battles have done to being Korea where it is today. Thank you for your service and the suffering that certain people can't see. Sometimes myself included.
