I visited Tatan Island for the first time when I was convener of the National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan, and it made a strong impression on me. Not long ago, I came to Tatan Island again to visit the capable and conscientious members of the armed forces stationed here. At that time, I told them "I'll be back!" This time I've not only returned, but I especially invited a group of media executives to join me, because I want to share my special feelings for Kinmen and Tatan Island with them.
