Seoul 1988 Reunion: Two Warriors (Son and Father) Both Serving in Korea


Author & son Danny (b. Jan 14, 1966 — d. Nov 28, 2003) 
He is now at rest in Arlington

Picture taken on weekend in Seoul. 

At the time he was a Sergeant serving in 2nd Infantry Division up near the DMZ. I was posted in Seoul at Eighth Army Headquarters (also joint UN/CFC/USFK) in G-3 Operations Division (Education and Training Branch). 

He previously had jumped into Panama, helping capture General Manuel Noriega in 1989. He was wounded in action having jumped with the 1st Bn, 504 PIR at midnight to help capture and occupy the airfield.

He then parachuted into combat and served in the same unit in the first Gulf War.

He served his country honorably, and I miss him every single day.
