In February 1998, our Post sponsored our namesake retired Colonel Millett's return to the scene of his historic battle for the very first time since that battle on Hill 180. He was invited as the guest speaker during the annual Hill 180 Memorial Ceremony that year and on 6 February gave a most memorable and tear invoking speech. Sponsored by our Post and the 8th US Army 3rd Battlefield Coordination Detachment-Korea (BDC) Col Millett returned to Osan AB every year following through 2003 to participate in the Hill 180 ceremonies and spend time with the members of our Post named in his honor.
Our Post hosted Col Millett at a dinner at the Post Home in February 1998. Post Commander Jerry Ross was presented a bronze statue from the Colonel and enjoys dinner with Post members (Past Post Commander and Department Commander Frank Sass is on the right).
Col Millett returned many times over the following years (1999, 2001 & 2003) to participate in the Hill 180 ceremonies and spend time with the members (shown here with Dave Beil).
