June, 2011 June is the Memorial Month as we recognize and express our gratitude for all the soldiers and ancestors who gave the last full measure of devotion, sacrificing their lives for their country and families. Koreans used to call this month as the “Month of Wonho [Memorial Month],” and many huge banners of celebration were displayed on the main streets of every city and town. I used to visit to my home country right after our winter semester, which ended around the latter part of May, and I always found welcoming banners. The Korean government changed it to “Bohoon Month [Memorial Month]” some time ago, but from that time on, June was not really my month. changw@missouri.edu www.whchang.pe.kr

Today, June 6th, is Memorial Day in Korea.
There are many students in Korea who don't know what kind of day it is.
When they were asked, they answered as 1) Day with No School, or 2)
the day when General Lee Soon-sin died, acording to Korean newspaper.
Korea is At War with Two Fronts, as you know well,
against North Korea and "Enemies Within".
Memorial Day and Memorial Month came and gone every year in June.
But if they don't teach what Memorial Day and Month means to our young
generation, Love for the Country will fly out of the window as your golf
game as year goes by, Sir.

교수 님,
Sir, I am not sure if I can honor your new golf handicap,
especially when a few changes in my pocket are at stake. ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ.
I can't afford to run to the bank every time I play against you.
You know, I am on fixed income too. ㅉ, ㅉ, ㅉ.
I hope that you don't need my best wishes in your video-editing adventure.
I guess the people in the Video Club will take care of you.
Anyway, nice to hear from you.
다가오는(온?) 더위에 몸 조심하시고 건강하시기 바랍니다.
Thank you.
