Pou m 'yo dwe kanpe isit la jodi a se inikman sans ak ki pote moute anpil souvni nan tan pase a. Egzakteman senkant ane de sa, nan mwa Janvye 1963, Mwen te nan fòmasyon militè kòm yon enlistee nouvo nan klas la 111TH (111 moun) nan Korean Air Force la isit la nan Yuseong. Mwen te pase de mwa gen pou fòmasyon debaz militè, ak 9 mwa pou fòmasyon teknik nan kominikasyon elektwonik sèvis ekipman. Mwa a nan mwa janvye te grav frèt ki genyen yon tanperati -20 degre Sèlsiyis - konsa sa te pase frèt nan reyalite ki te Bay la Incheon jele. Nan mwa novanm mwen te Lè sa a, transfere nan baz la Air Force nan Kangneung, Kangwon-fè. Mwen sonje ke jan mwen te ap tann nan OSAN pou yon avyon yo Kangneung, Mwen tande nouvèl la tris ke Prezidan John F. Kennedy te tire a mò nan Dallas, Texas, ki te byen chokan.

For me to be standing here today is uniquely meaningful and brings up many memories from the past. Exactly fifty years ago, in January of 1963, I was in military training as a new enlistee of the 111th class (111 kih) of the Korean Air Force here in Yuseong. I spent two months there for basic military training, and 9 months for technical training in electronic communications equipment service. The month of January was severely cold with a temperature of -20 degrees Celsius – it was so cold in fact that the Incheon bay was frozen. In November I was then transferred to the Air Force base in Kangneung, Kangwon-Do. I recall that as I was waiting in Osan for an airplane to Kangneung, I heard the sad news that President John F. Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas, Texas, which was quite shocking.
