Korean War vets reunite in Virginia Beach search for old friends
About 1,000 Korean War veterans are expected at a weekend reunion in Virginia Beach organized by Richard Gallmeyer. He started the national reunion in 1995 to help veterans reconnect, sharing photos and rosters from the early 1950s with survivors in California to Florida. Veteran Bruno Sano located a buddy via Gallmeyer, illustrating the event’s goal of rekindling long-lost ties.
