ROK Government Hosts Korean War Veterans at Visit to U.N. Cemetery in Busan

This is a really good program that the South Korean government puts on every year:

Carlos Pallan, a Korean War veteran, places a white flower on the headstones of a U.S. servicemember at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan, South Korea, Thursday, July 25, 2019. 

South Korea’s Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs hosted Munson and more than 100 other veterans and family members from 16 nations to express the South’s appreciation for the sacrifices made during the three-year war.

During the six-day revisit program that began Tuesday, the vets participated in numerous cultural events and tours, including a trip to the truce village of Panmunjom and other sites in the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone.

They also laid white flowers on the headstones of fallen servicemembers at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in the southern city of Busan.

They were welcomed with a standing ovation and honored during the annual United Nations Forces participation day ceremony in Seoul, which was broadcast on national TV.
