MHT conducts the Korea Revisit Program for the Korean War Veterans Association (KWVA) every year sending hundreds of Korean War Veterans back to "The Land of the Morning Calm" that was hardly calm as they fought the North Korean Invaders and Chinese Communist to save South Korea 60 years ago. The ROK Government through the Minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (MPVA) subsidizes the 60th Anniversary Returns by providing the Veterans and their companions free five-star hotel accomodations, bus tours of Seoul, Inchon and the DMZ, and all their meals in Korea.
The Armed Forces Network covered the Inchon Landing Commemoration during the September KWVA Korea Revisit and interviewed MHT President/CEO Col Warren Wiedhahn, USMC(Ret) who was a 4.2" mortar crew chief with the 5th Marines in Pusan and made the "tide-turning" Inchon Landing.

Some of the Veterans have sent us their feelings upon seeing South Korea today as it has risen from the rubble of war to the dynamic country it is today and the heart felt thanks of the Korean people for their sacrifices:
Fellow Veterans of Far Too Many Wars:
Something took place last week that I had imagined I could and would keep pretty much to myself ... but with essence of time and a suggestion from one of our members I have had second thoughts. Last week, in the Seoul Airport, I was waiting in a wheelchair for someone to come along and take me over to United Airlines. A young Korean man I judged to be in his late teens or early twenties noticed me. He walked over to where I was sitting. He leaned down over me and whispered in my ear, "Thank you for what you did for my country." And he turned and left.
I was deeply moved by this brief contact and I doubt I will ever forget it. Thanks for listening. That's off my chest ... I feel better now.

Full circle moment at Korean war National Museum:
University of Tulsa, Oklahoma Music Professor and Range Instructor Kenneth Grass points to his fathers name on the KIA Wall of Honor Seoul Korea. "I have dreamed of this day my entire life but never thought it would happen until someone gave me MHT's phone number. My father was killed when I was 4 years old and being here in Seoul as a guest of the South Korean Government in his honor has changed my life forever, thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

"Operation Sunblock" was "blinding" sucess during May as Dr. Paul Maley took a Military Adventure Tours to Tarawa Atoll for a great view of the Annular Solar Eclipse on 10 May that had a magnitude of 0.9544. Col Joe Mueller acted as the Tour Leader on Tarawa scene of one of the bloodiest World War II battlesite that happened 70 years ago as the U.S. Marines assaulted the island to defeat the forces of Imperial Japan. The site was perfect for observation and we will return in the future and take Dr. Maley whereever the best views are in the Pacific.
