Korea, a Forgotten War and a Long Road Home
For Veterans Day, 2024, we will take a look at Korea, sometimes called the "Forgotten War." For some of the U.S. Korean War dead, it has been a long road home. Here in Hawaii at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, there is a group of dedicated scientists with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency who continue to identify the remains of fallen soldiers over 70 years after the war ended. Today we will remember some of the soldiers who lost their lives and took a very long time to come home. Above is a repatriation ceremony for some of the returned.
It's Veteran's Day today dear. Memorial Day is generally in May.
ReplyDeleteYikes! Now fixed, thank you.
DeleteAnd to think the American people just voted in a draft dodger with the excuse of bone spurs, who referred to war veterans as losers and suckers.
ReplyDeleteAnd in 2018 refused to honor WW1 war dead and the end of that war because he was afraid to get his hair wet when it drizzled. Apparently a large segment of Americans live to waddle in disgrace. :\
Sad and frightening. All I can say is "Resist!"
DeleteToo many are prepared to sacrifice their country for the sake of comfort and affluence, the last of which trump promises.
DeleteAnd won't deliver.
Thanks Jerry for today's posts and tributes. And thank you to our veterans!
You're welcome, 2W! A lot of people who didn't bother to vote will regret this, as will many who voter for the orange weasel.
