Re: Yongsan Garrison's heritage center tells stories of war,heroes, Honor

The one thing that is left out of this fine article is that MAJ Chip 
Knighten is the man who really built this heritage center from the

citations and photographs and produced a beautiful center that really 
honors all our Korean ar veterans.
