We are promoting the victims families visit to let people know what really happened. Its not definite yet, but theres a possibility that the girls parents will be in the United States some time in August, said Sharon Ayling, the chairman of the Committee for the Withdrawal of U.S. Troops in Korea at the International Action Center (IAC). The IAC is an American organization that promotes the withdrawal of American troops from South Korea and urges President George W. Bush to publicly apologize for this incident. The Korea Truth Commission, a Korea-based organization operating in New York City, joined the IAC on July 31, in front of the U.S. army recruiting office located in Times Square. They demonstrated for an immediate withdrawal of the U.S. military in South Korea, and pledged to continue to expose the tragic deaths of the two girls. Rev. Kiyul Chung, secretary general of the Korea Truth Commission, spoke to the 20 Korean and American demonstrators at the gathering, saying, The U.S. army had the nerve to continue their military training even after the deaths of these children. Everyday, there are demonstrations in Korea, and young people are publicly burning the American flag. The American troops must withdraw. Other Korean-American organizations also participated in the demonstration, including the National Association of Korean Americans and the Congress for Korean Reunification.
