Flag at Half Staff on Monday 7/27/2009 from Sunrise Until Sunset for NATIONAL KOREAN WAR VETERANS ARMISTICE DAY

More than 600,000 United States and allied combatants lost their lives in Korea during the 3 years of bitter warfare that ended on July 27, 1953

If you know a korean vet, shake his hand!

As an American, you'd think we fought the Korean War for the Koreans. When you see the death toll on the South Korean side alone (memorial museum in Seoul), it's staggering.

Not to take anything away from the American vets, mind you. What a hellish experience...
