POHANG, South Korea - A boy from the Pohang Orphanage helps Sgt. Brendan P. Evans, the staff non-commissioned officer in charge of the air support element, Command Element, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and a native of Oneonta, N.Y., plant a rose bush during a visit by 24 Marines and Sailors here, April 5. The Pohang orphanage was founded after the Korean War in 1953 by a Navy chaplain from the 1st Marine Air Wing. In 1954, the Navy Seabees constructed the original building. Since then, the children taken in by the orphanage have known regular visits from their camouflaged friends. The visit comes at the conclusion of the 31st MEU’s participation in Exercise Ssang Yong 2014, a bilateral training event that is a tribute to the maturity of the US-ROK relationship.
