is seventh annual friendship festival

00:23.340 --> 00:25.380

00:25.380 --> 00:27.547
reports . This year's festival took on

00:27.547 --> 00:29.713
a special meaning . The focus for this

00:29.713 --> 00:31.658
year's Friendship Festival was all

00:31.658 --> 00:33.547
about a community coming together

00:33.547 --> 00:37.020
during a time of crisis . Soldiers and

00:37.020 --> 00:39.187
citizens at Camp Casey and surrounding

00:39.187 --> 00:41.298
areas . United Forces to clean up the

00:41.298 --> 00:43.298
town after massive flooding earlier

00:43.298 --> 00:45.520
this summer on a day to day basis . The

00:45.520 --> 00:47.687
soldiers that came down here and we're

00:47.687 --> 00:49.853
working as hard as the recovery team .

00:49.853 --> 00:52.020
If you did not take a snapshot in time

00:52.020 --> 00:54.187
and could not appreciate how much hard

00:54.187 --> 00:56.298
work and effort and accomplished with

00:56.298 --> 00:58.187
the cleanup efforts behind them .

00:58.187 --> 01:00.298
Soldiers and their families were free

01:00.298 --> 01:02.353
to spend the day bonding with korean

01:02.353 --> 01:04.464
citizens . I thought the festival was

01:04.464 --> 01:04.220
excellent . I didn't know anything

01:04.220 --> 01:06.980
about the cultures or the food . I'm a

01:06.980 --> 01:08.924
very picky eater and I swore I was

01:08.924 --> 01:11.190
going to try a lot of the new foods .

01:11.200 --> 01:13.090
It's all good . These types of

01:13.090 --> 01:15.090
interactions allowed Mr vickery the

01:15.090 --> 01:16.923
opportunity to experience korean

01:16.923 --> 01:19.034
culture and interact with citizens in

01:19.034 --> 01:21.090
more ways than just going to a local

01:21.090 --> 01:23.201
restaurant . I got to make kimchi , I

01:23.201 --> 01:25.423
got to eat kimchi . They got a kick out

01:25.423 --> 01:28.480
of it that he was able to have these

01:28.480 --> 01:30.647
experiences is a testament to the hard

01:30.647 --> 01:32.680
work put in by Camp Casey soldiers

01:32.690 --> 01:34.801
During the cleanup efforts After this
