When the Air Force sent me to Korea, I didn't know what to expect. I knew that it would be a new adventure, and that sounded good to me!One afternoon, I was digging a new foxhole when I noticed a little Korean boy down the hill from me playing some game in the sand that really had him occupied. Here I was digging a hole that might save my life, and there was a little boy playing as thought there wasn't a war going on. When the first bomb fell, Skoshi, the little terrified boy, ran up and jumped into my foxhole. He wrapped his arms around me and cried as only a very frightened boy can cry. By evening, Skoshi had a cot in the tent next to mine, and that was the beginning of a positive relationship.Six months later, I was being transferred to a different part of Korea. As I was getting ready to board a bus to take me to the airport, Skoshi stopped me. "Remember my favorite church song, 'Amazing Grace'?" I nodded. "My favorite verse in that song says, 'Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come. It was grace that brought me safe so far, and grace will lead me home' ... to you in the States." He walked over, hugged me, started to cry, and turned and ran away as fast as he could.But was that the end of our relationship?
