Toys---universal language for kids—are clutched in happy hands by Korean war orphans on the island of Cheju-do, 75 miles off the south coast of Korea. More than 800 orphans from war torn Korea are housed on the island sanctuary where they were flown by airmen of the Fifth Air Force. Recently the Republic of Korea Air Force took over sponsorship of the orphans from the Fifth Air Force but bundles by the hundreds continue to pour into Fifth Air Force for delivery to the kids. Shown with a group of happy children are three Fifth Air Force airmen and the new director of the orphanage. Left to right are: S/Sgt. Carl Sokolitsky, Orlando, Florida; Mrs. Whang On Soon, newly assigned director of the orphanage; Cpl. James W. Lucas, Appalachia, VA; and Cpl. Thomas P. Cabaniss, Union, South Carolina. March 1951.
