Marilyn Monroe in Korea

In February 1954, Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were newlyweds, on a trip in Japan, when the bride took a detour to Korea to entertain the troops. She performed ten shows in four days, in front of audiences that totaled more than 100,000 soldiers and marines. Later Monroe recalled that the trip "was the best thing that ever happened to me. I never felt like a star before in my heart. It was so wonderful to look down and see a fellow smiling at me."

Now days, the stars usually bash our troops as just murderes fighting for oil.

My Dad saw her in Korea. She made the officers move to the back, so the enlisted troops could move up closer.

Thats class.

And she didn't do it just for the publicity either. She really had a heart for the troops and admired their admiration for her.
