Korean War veterans and the role of the K-Lo Company
The role of Korean War veterans and the K-Lo Unit
Ma Seon-hong (then an Army lieutenant), a veteran who defended freedom with his life as a stepping stone to the historical success of the Incheon Landing Operation, offered flowers at the Korean War Memorial in Fullerton.
Ma Seon-hong, who turned 100 in April, said he was deeply moved to visit the memorial despite his old age, "Remembering the war."
◇ K-Lo Unit and Incheon Landing Operation
The K-Lo Unit was a special unit that performed a special mission during the Korean War, blocking ports in North Korea-occupied
areas and preventing the advance of North Korean and Chinese forces.
The success of the Incheon Landing Operation was crucial to the K-Lo unit members. Clark, a US Navy Ensign, Lieutenant Colonel Ke In-ju, Korean Army, Ensign Yeon Jung, Navy, and Choi Gyu-bong of the K-Lo Unit successfully carried out the coded order, "Light the Palmi Island Lighthouse."
In particular, the K-Lo unit warriors illuminated the lighthouse even after being shot, leading to the success of the Incheon Landing Operation. Their dedication and courage contributed greatly to the defense of liberal democracy.
◇ Secretary General of the Fullerton City Korean War Memorial Construction Committee
Park Dong-woo, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Disability Policy in the Obama administration, revealed the
motivation for building the memorial.
Appointed as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Disability Policy at the White House under President Obama in 2009, he visited Washington, D.C. At that time, I saw that there was not a single name of a fallen soldier on the Korean War Veterans Memorial, and I thought that we should commemorate the souls of the 6.25 heroes, commemorating their names on the monument, comforting their souls who defended liberal democracy with their lives.
