Picture of the Day: Remembering the Fallen from the 2nd Battle of Yeonpyeong
South Korean Navy sailors who fought in the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong bow their heads to pay tribute to their fallen comrades during the ceremony for the 22nd anniversary of the inter-Korean naval skirmish held at the 2nd Fleet Command in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, on June 29, 2024.

The differences between the 1st and 2nd battles of the westen islands was they won the 1st by use of overwhelming force and really lost the 2nd by being penurious (a word even CH might like)…
What is the point of putting precious lives at risk without giving them the power to sink the norkish pirates? Even a single patrol ship with as small as a 3″ cannon could have ended the fight with less loss of life on both sides.
Instead, so many grieving families suffer. At least Yoon remembered them.
