The Graybeards Newsletter Vol. 5 No. 1 September 1989 THE MIGHTY MEN OF VA-LOR Korean War Veterans Association FIRST CLASS MAIL FIRST CLASS MAIL P.O. Box 131 U. S. POSTAGE Hatpers Feny, W. V. 25425 PAID HARPERS FERRY, WV PERMIT NO. 34 FORWARDING AND ADDRESS CORRECTION REQUESTED l Vol. 5, No. 1, SEPT. 1989 THIS IS THE DESIGN FOR THE MEMORIAL ON JUNE 14, 1989 the design for a memorial to Korean War veterans was unveiled in a White Howe oeremony hosted by President Bush. He said "Until recently, lhe Korean War was not formally remembered. And today we say: no more ... .it's time tO remember." Starues in the Memorial (of heroic size, 8 feet tall) depict 38 soldiers heading unevenly down a 120- yard, tree-lined path toward the American flag. Some face in different directions, and two appear to help an injured buddy. A red granite path is to be down the middle of the ··platoon" for visitors to follow as they walk within the Memorial. One of the design winners told the president thar the 38 men depict two things: the 38 months of war, and the 38th Parallel. Picture#! The design statement included these words: "On approach, one enters from the west (PictUre #1) into an open plaza. The plaza is edged by a dogwood bosque and marked at its <!enter by a white marble square. Within the :square a red granite line originates and extends east to a distant horizon and the American flag ... .The war, that 'tract of time.' is measured by the red line. Walking with the 38 figures, the visitor is an observer, in the act of commemoration. "Passage ascends through a landscape symbolic of war; water rushes arow1d the feet of the figures ...one is flanked by figures whose faces are alert with caution and sttong with resolve. "Upward movement concludes at a second white marble square. This square is blank ind the adjacent water, still; both mark a silent moment of reflection and end the time of wu. Smooth water flanks the red line as it descends and terminates at the fmal white marble square which bears an inscription celebrating peace." (Picture H2) . The sculptor or sculptors are to be selected after oonuact negotiations:. The material itself is not yet chosen, and John Paul Lucas, one of the designers said a gray Vennont granite would be preferred material. We members of KWVA can proudly work toward completion of the task: let's raise ANOTHER THREE MILUON DOLLARS and get the Memorial built in early 1991. It will take m.'lll)' months of arduous Picture#2 labor and frustrating detail work before aclual construction can storL We will try 10 keep you informed of progress.

My father’s passion on using various modern methods to teach English in contrast to my mother’s keenness for rote learning of prayers in Dzongkha, their differences on the preference of methods inspired me to explore the current Bhutanese teachers view on “Process Writing Approach,” an approach from a different culture. I would also like to dedicate this work to Werner Christen, my husband.

  • Skating the Routes
    Information About Bhutan Bhutan is a country nestled in the Eastern Himalayas. The high Himalayas to the north and west separate the kingdom from Tibet and the south and east border India. Regions of the country are some of the most remote in the world. A conscious policy of isolation complemented by formidable geographical barriers has enabled the kingdom to maintain its independence throughout its history and as a result its culture and traditions have thrived without external influences. The government is committed to keeping it this way, so all tourism is strongly regulated and only local tour operators can lead groups through the region. The restrictions are tight and solo travel is not encouraged. In fact, Bhutan imposes a daily surcharge for groups under three travelers! A mountain trek is one of the best ways to experience the Himalaya. You will experience Bhutan's natural wonders first-hand when travelling the mountain passes. Our journey will bring us through this isolated kingdom that was opened to the West in 1974. This trip is truly adventure travel where we give up comforts that we’re used to and gain insight into another culture. Be prepared to give up our Western way of thinking and experience another way of life. Namaste! Much of the information in this document is from http://www.tourism.gov.bt Gross National Happiness Economists the world over have argued that the key to happiness is obtaining and enjoying material development. Bhutan however, adheres to a very different belief and advocates that amassing material wealth does not necessarily lead to happiness.
