2ID Soldiers Aid Family with Rice Harvest

2ID soldiers continue to aid the family of one of the girls killed in the 2002 accident:

Four years after a military vehicle killed two South Korean children, 2nd Infantry Division soldiers still are making amends.

About 25 soldiers from the 2nd Infantry Division’s G-9 Civil Military Operations section and 15 South Korean soldiers helped harvest the farm on Thursday of Shin Hyun-soo, the father of one of the dead children.

Soldiers arrived at 10 a.m. and harvested eggplant, soybeans and peppers on about 18,000 square feet of farmland.

The family still mourns the loss of their 13-year-old daughter, Shin Hyo-soon, who was killed with Shim Mi-sun by a U.S. Army 60-ton tracked bridge carrier while crossing a country road in Yangju.

And they have welcomed the soldiers’ help each year since the girls died.

The family members “were actually very warm,” Lt. Col. Todd Goehler said. “They greeted all of the soldiers and we had a good lunch with them.”

 What I find interesting is that with all the anti-US groups that love to use the deceased girls image during the protests, none of them bother to do anything to help the families of the deceased girls.  That is because the anti-US groups don’t care about the families they just want to use the girls images to promote their own anti-US agenda.
