Roland Grondin, KMD Awards Chairman, is back from TDY to JSA. He had a good time on this trip, and got to go to OP 239 and OP 240. A ROK Army LT gave him a tour of the Observation Post. He wished he could have taken pictures there so the US soldiers would really see how easy our soldiers have it. He will be going back up next week and take a care package to this unit, "In Front of Them All" As usual, SSG Grondin is an excellent ambassador for USA. He has a major project in the JSA and has spent a lot of time lately, just steps from North Korea. Truly, this member may be one of the first to know if we go to war with Communist North Korea.

The picture is in front of the TSD building (Tae Sung Dong) where they have the largest South Korean flag.

On 2d photo, over his right shoulder you can see a nKorean guard post. More pictures in Post NEWS page. We now have a DMZ page due to Commander Roland Grondin's good support.
