Join us on Operation Insight as we host Specialist Jim Manahan!
우정 ("wu-juhng") is a meaningful word to Jim Manahan, especially when he was serving as a Korean linguist in the Army. Friendship, that's what SPC Manahan enjoyed most during his service. A close second to that was his love of learning! Jim was exposed to the world outside of his middle-class Irish Catholic neighborhood very early in life. Before his father became a war hero, Sergeant Charles Manahan had witnessed a day that would go on to "live in infamy," the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Two of Jim's older brothers would go on to serve as Marines in Vietnam. It was during that time that Jim wrote letters to his oldest brother, Chuck, his hero. Little did Jim know that in less than a decade, he would be sent overseas, although SPC Manahan's deployment wasn't to the jungles of Southeast Asia. No, he would be sent to South Korea, not far from the Demilitarized Zone, more commonly known as the DMZ.
