Picture of the Day: Remembering the 73rd Anniversary of the Korean War

Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup visits Seoul National Cemetery to pay respect to the fallen soldiers who fought in the 1950-53 Korean War, as the country marks the 73rd anniversary of the outbreak of the war, on June 25, 2023, in the photo provided by the defense ministry. (Yonhap)
It’s also the 147th anniversary of George Custer throwing away his command by committing troops before understanding what he was up against.
The CusterApollo channel on YouTube has the goods, including animated maps and a walk around the battlefield.
I think it’s worth noting Custer had no KATUSA troops with him. OTOH, the 7th Cavalry in the Korean War did, and they were much more successful.
Have a blessed weekend.
