About the pictures of the Korean War Memorial in Seoul. Over here this is the "forgotten war". It wasn't until 1999 (46 years after the fact) that there was a memorial erected and it took a lot of work by the Korean Vets to get it. Vietnam, of course, had a memorial fairly quickly. My husband was in the USMC as a wireman stringing telephone wires and later was a POW for 2½ years. He was captured in North Korea and marched up to China. He nearly lost his feet to frost bite during the march.
Très intéressant !
Bizzzzz.
