 From Soldiers Radio and Television, this is the Army Now. The Katoosa program began in 1950 to augment the United States fighting forces just after the outbreak of the Korean War. In Daegu, Korea resides one of the 326 first Katoosa soldiers. Mr. Yoo served three years as a Katoosa and was honorably discharged from the Rock Army on July 4, 1954. Mr. Yoo finds pride by not only serving his country but also serving with the U.S. Army. I have learned a lot through my experience as a Katoosa and I believe I gained a lifetime experience as a Katoosa that helped me to become who I am right now. Mr. Yoo said he will never forget the words he heard General McArthur say during a speech at Congress Hall in the U.S. Old soldiers never die, they just fade away. Army Sergeant Zilla Winstead, Daegu, Korea. It's the Army Now.
