Two Marines Killed During Yeonpyeong Island Attack Remembered

It has been 14 years since the brazen attack on Yeonpyeong Island by North Korea:

South Korea’s Marine Corps chief vowed Saturday to never forget the sacrifices of two Marines killed in a 2010 North Korean artillery attack on a western border island.

Lt. Gen. Kim Kye-hwan, who doubles as the command’s head, made the remarks during an annual ceremony marking the 14th anniversary of the attack on Yeonpyeong Island near the western inter-Korean sea border, which killed two Marines and two civilians.
