D.I. AS A SOLDIER

 

 

You've heard of G.I. Joe? Here's D.I. Cho posing with his trusty firearm.

In Korea, military service was mandatory. This picture was taken in 1955, two years after the cease-fire that ended the Korean conflict, so my dad (luckily) never entered actual combat. If he had, he might have been killed, and I wouldn't have been born, and you wouldn't be reading this wonderful Web site.
