Ewha Women's University, 1965
Marine Drun and Bugle Team capped its ROK performances with show for students and faculty of Ewha Women's University. More than 10,000 Koreans heard the Fleet Marine Force Pacific Drum and Bugle Team during performances in Seoul at Republic of Korea Armed Forces installations and schools and universities. The Marine group, stationed at Camp Smith, Hawaii travelled half-million miles throughout the free world, and was on a three-day goodwill visit to the ROK as part of the people-to-people program. The 25-man group conducted by SSgt. Richard A. Edinger left for the Philippines before returning to Hawaii.
