Former President Kim Dae-jung, quoted in Former South Korean president thanks Reagan for persuading former regime to spare his life:
"President Reagan was a strong and courageous leader. He tore down the long-standing walls of confrontation between the East and the West and led the world to historic change toward democracy and freedom
"In particular, when I was sentenced to death by the military regime in 1980, he worked not only to save my life but also for the democratization of South Korea. I still remember this with gratitude."
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
