60th Anniversary of the Korean War
2010 - 2014
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
