Jerry Ko ’20 �� was selected into the Korean Augmentation to the United States Army (KATUSA) program, which allows conscripted South Korean soldiers to become military ambassadors to the United States Forces Korea. After finishing his freshman year at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, he temporarily withdrew to fulfill his obligatory military service as a South Korean male. As a Religious Affairs Specialist, Jerry provided spiritual and psychological support to those in his unit, whether Korean, American, or civilians. “My job could be as simple as making flyers for different religious events or as challenging as grief-supporting those who have lost someone close. A couple of lessons I learned throughout my experience in the Army is that as you gain experience and climb the ranks of wherever you are employed, there will be nothing more paramount than supporting those who are in your responsibility. Another thing is to always do the right thing, no matter what the circumstances are; the Army’s principles and lifestyle will guide you to be someone who is responsible, honorable, and mentally strong.” After his service ended May 28, 2023, Jerry returned stateside to continue his studies at UNC. Jerry is pictured after being awarded the Area 1 Best KATUSA award and medal by the United States Army Garrison Casey in June 2023 in Camp Casey, Dongducheon, Republic of Korea.
