Welcome home Eighth Army!
This week was the official ribbon cutting on the new Eighth Army Headquarters here at Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek.
Soldiers and Distinguished Visitors from near and far were in attendance…
I was not a DV so this is as close as I got to the 8th Army Commanding General, Thomas Vandal.
General Walton Walker also made the move down south, but he will always be pointing north towards the enemy.
It was also pretty cool because I was there over seven years ago when the Walker statue was first unveiled on Yongsan.
Katchi Kapshida!
These banners were plastered all over town in honor of the big event.
You are welcome.
And so it goes.
Great pics!
So when is Yongsan finally going to be emptied out?
There will always be a small footprint around the Dragon Hill Lodge, and the Embassy will move to what is now Camp Coiner (north end of base), but I’d say 90% of the move will be complete by the end of next year.
You will these sightings John…for how many years you used to seeing them…
I mean u will miss them….
Widow, the older I get the more I have to miss
