Cho Joo-eun becomes the second Korean American woman colonel for U.S. Army
The second Korean American woman to be promoted to the rank of a U.S. army colonel has emerged.
Cho Joo-eun, a 1.5-generation Seattle native who attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, graduated in 1992 and went on to serve in Texas, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Korea and Iraq.
At the Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma, Wash. on July 1, Cho officially became a colonel, only the second Korean American woman in the U.S. armed forces to do so after Col. Kim Joo-ri in 2006.
Cho immigrated to the U.S. with her family when she was 5 and obtained her bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington.
