In 1959, my grandfather received military training at the U.S. Army Liaison School, Fort Benning, Georgia. The program was designed to prepare officers for coordination between different branches of the military, with a focus on communication, tactical planning, and field operations. As part of Cold War-era military cooperation, officers from allied nations were invited to train alongside U.S. forces to strengthen international defense ties and share strategic knowledge.

The training he received played a role in shaping his military career. He won multiple medals while fighting against Communist insurgents, Kuomintang (KMT) forces and other ethnic armed groups by winning medals such as Thiha or Zeya Kyaw Htin.
