1. Ham Operator's Sunday CQ 14,319mhz
========================================================== Update from Hank Sherman < hsherman@cybercomm.net
> 5th RCT URL: https://www.cybercomm.net/~hsherman/Genealogy, Ham radio, computers & Korea.
I will be monitoring the 20 meter band (some where around
14,317Mhz and 14,319 and it was clear. Called CQ on the
frequency for ten minutes and 2 mobiles came back. Looks
like a good frequency, DX contests will not, I hope, be up
there), on Sunday to find a clear (if possible) frequency.
I feel that Sunday will be a reasonable time to attempt
this. say around 10:AM. As soon as I get the facts
together I will be informing you of the time and place and
hope you that are hams will help me out. This should be
fun. No rules till we see how many will show. Just an
informal net. My wife also has a license and I will ask her
to take the notes and logs.

==========================================================
5. REACH- Responsibility-Ethics-Attitude-Choices-Health
==========================================================
From Joe Memmo: a program for substance dependant Vets:
REACH is: Responsibility-Ethics-Attitude-Choices-Health.
It is a 90 day program (Can Be Longer) depending on the
veterans status after 90 days.
It serves veterans with a substance abuse problem who are
homeless. It has 55 beds, 4 man rooms, real nice facilities
located at the Brockton, VA Medical Center in Brockton Ma.
The veterans attend groups, get indivuial attention from
trained councilors, also get help with job training, seeking
housing, education. The veteran can work after being in the
program 6 weeks.
REACH is a wonderful program but like all our benefits of
late it is suffering from the cuts that are being made to
our benefits now.

7. Greenville SC area KVets - take notice!! May 13th
==========================================================
From: Jeff Holt
Constituent Service Representative
Rep. Jim DeMint (SC-04)
300 E. Washington St., Suite 101
Greenville, SC 29601
864-232-1141 (phone) 864-233-2160 (fax)
https://www.demint.house.gov
Congressman DeMint will invite all of our Korean War
veterans (that are eligible and have received a lapel pin)
to a Korean War Commemoration Ceremony on May 13.
Colonel Neal, Jr. from the DOD KWCC will host along with Jim
DeMint.
To ensure that our Korean War veterans receive proper
recognition for their contributions on behalf of freedom,
Congress has authorized America's Commemoration of the 50th
Anniversary of the Korean War. As part of this three-year
commemoration, a Korean War Service Lapel Pin is now
available through Congressman DeMint to eligible veterans of
the 4th District. "The pin is just a small way for us to
tell these brave soldiers, sailors and airmen that what they
did and that all they sacrificed in Korea will not be
forgotten," said Congressman DeMint.
The Korean War Service Lapel Pin has been provided to a
number of members of Congress as well as Commemorative
Communities across the nation. With the assistance of
several local veteran leaders, Congressman DeMint
established the 4th District of South Carolina Committee in
2000 as a Commemorative Community.
Pins are available to all veterans who meet the following
criteria:
* Served between the outbreak of hostilities, June 25,
1950, and the date the armistice
was signed, July 27, 1953.
* Served on permanent assignment or on temporary duty for
30 consecutive days or 60
non-consecutive days.
* Performed his/her duty within the territorial limits of
Korea, in the waters immediately
adjacent thereto or in aerial flight over
Korea participating in actual combat operations
or in support of combat operations.
Veterans who reside in the 4th District (Greenville,
Spartanburg and Union counties) can request lapel pins by
contacting Rep. Jim DeMint at his Spartanburg office,
582-6422 or at his Greenville office, 232-1141.
Editor Note: for those interested in other US Districts,
contact your own Representative to create a similar program.

10. Korean Language SPAM Email - if you have a problem
==========================================================
Hal and I have noticed a huge increase of commercial email
from Korea, in hangul. Some site visitors have contacted us
about this.
Since January, the Korean War Project has been enlisting the
help of the Washington DC based Korean Embassy and the
Honorable Ambassador from the Republic of Korea, Mr. Sung
Chol Yang, to fight this problem.
If you have a similar problem, see this page on our site for
tips and how to report the abuse directly to the ROK office
handling our complaints.
Many of our older newsletters can be found on the site at:

Thanks to all of you for helping make the Korean War Project
successful.
