This makes you wonder how many more US soldiers are still buried under the ground in South Korea waiting to be found?:
A fallen soldier from the Korean War passes the colors one last time in South Korea during a repatriation ceremony at Yongsan Garrison, South Korea, Thursday, June 22, 2017.
A U.S. soldier’s body is heading home 67 years after he went missing in action during the Korean War.
The U.S. accepted the remains of the 1st Cavalry Division soldier Thursday during a repatriation ceremony hosted by the South Korean military and United Nations Command at Yongsan Garrison. UN colors draped his casket, which stood alone on the ceremonial field.
The soldier is thought to have died in late July 1950 when U.S. forces, including elements of the 1st Cavalry Division, delayed the North Korean army’s advance along the peninsula and bought time for the U.N. to establish a line of defense around the southern city of Busan. [Stars & Stripes]
You can read more at the link, but the body was found this past March by a telecom worker installing cables under a road. Hopefully the body is quickly identified and returned to surviving family members.
RIP
