My respects to the Korean, American, Canadian and soldiers of other nationalities who died to protect South Korea from communism slavery. Their sacrifice has made Korea a rich, free and prosperous nation today.

There were sirens? I was in Seoul and I didn’t hear these.

When? How long did they sound?

12: As long as soldiers are alive who fought in wars, we should have this holiday to remember their fallen comrades… after they have passed, doubly so.

@3: ddongchim again shows his historical illiteracy. There was no “U.S. military foothold” in Korea in 1950, hence no Koreans died to preserve it.

This moron should at least receive a stipend from the DPRK for his efforts.

And thanks and remembrance to those Allied soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normanday 64 years ago today.

Regarding JiMong’s (#9) reference to that tragic battle incident in 2002.
You’re a good soul for remembering that today. It would have never crossed my mind.

For their families, who have experienced untold misery by a nation (especially the political leadership) that has willfully ignored these fallen soldiers for the most part, thank you for remembering.

Is this holiday really needed, or it just a relic of the Cold War?

7: because Rhee Syng-man and Douglas MacArthur so obviously represented freedom.
