#102: A Family Legacy in Korea


Listen Later

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text here

A recent work trip to South Korea opened my eyes to the Collins family's four-person, two-generational association with the Second Infantry Division and the Korean Peninsula, so today I share at story and one other that I learned about at the Second Infantry Division Museum on Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, Republic of Korea.

Today's Ghosts of Arlington are:

  1. Army Major General James Lawton Collins, Sr. - Section 34, Grave 121-A
  2. Army General Joseph Lawton Collins - Section 30, Grave 422
  3. Army Brigadier General James Lawton Collins, Jr. - Section 34, Grave 970
  4. Air Force Major General Michael Collins - Section 51, Grave 2891
  5. Army Sergeant Robert Hopkins - Section 69, Grave 3420

The introduction and transition music heard on the podcast is composed and recorded by the eldest Ghosts of Arlington, Jr. While the rest of his catalogue is quite different from what he's performed for me, you can find his music on bandcamp.com under the names Caladrius and Bloodfeather.

As always, a very special thanks to the Commando Pando Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!
