I received this letter on March 25th 2003 in the envelope shown at right. I'd noticed that there had been a hit on the submissions page of the web site earlier. I presume that is where my address was obtained. You can click on the envelope's image for a larger view. |

"Those who participated in operation Harry were decorated with the Kandou metal, which means strength in Korean. Many years after that period when I was in Frankfurt West Germany as an emigrant, I saw there the American base of Harry's veterans." You can read "Kandou metal" as a phonetic translation of "Can Do Medal". Another Greek OP Harry survivor said that all Greek soldiers who participated in the battle for the defense of OP Harry were given the 15th Infantry Crest.
