USFK News that You Won’t See in the Korean Media
Here is a story in the Stars and Stripes that is another example of the good things that USFK soldiers do every day in Korea that they don’t get any credit for:
Three 718th Ordinance Company soldiers traveling to Seoul provided first aid to a South Korean man whose van overturned on Highway 1 last week.
The man’s leg was broken in at least two places, according to Sgt. 1st Class Robert Wells, 31, of Watertown, N.Y.
“He was standing,†Wells said this week during a telephone interview. “I don’t know how he was standing, because [the leg] was shattered.â€
Wells, an emergency medical technician, and two other soldiers offered first aid while another passer-by called South Korean authorities for help, Wells said.
“It seems like they’re really making a big deal about it,†Wells said Tuesday about the response from military officials. “We just stopped to give assistance. We just helped out. That’s what we were there for.â€
