George: An American Soldier in Korea

By Leah Vickers

George Harvalos served in the Army during the the Korean War. During one life changing Easter military leave he met Demetra. For George, it was love at first sight. But his leave was quite short. Not enough time for a proper courtship. Determined to wed the young Greek beauty who stole his heart, George had only one way to woo the love of his life. Letters. He wrote about the war, about his life as a soldier, and about his hopes and dreams. Wrapped in bundles for thirty-five years after George's passing, cousin Helen found these letters stored in her mother's house. She gave them to me, George and Demi's only child. These letters are a vivid, honest, and eye-opening glimpse into my father, my parent's courtship, the Korean War, and a soldier's life. Grateful and moved by my father's letters, I offer them as a tribute, not just to him, but to all the men, women, and children touched by the perils of war.
