The wall is the UN forces who were killed. Over 80% are US service members.

Anyone want me to look for a name? They are separated by state.

This is an awesome thread. Thank you James. It is appreciated.

Got one with the tower in the background on the walk back.

If anyone wants any more details please ask, I uploaded them all while walking around so I didn't bother with captions.

Katchi Kapshida -- We go together!
"The land of the morning calm" is a beautiful place. My wife and I had cause to visit many, many times while stationed in Japan.

I actually bought these today to give to the guys I meet on my trip back home from the forum.



I'll have to take at least one more billet here and while I'm ready to go home for a bit ill look forward to coming back.

Good grief....I was 3/4 of the way thru the pics when it dawned on me this was the South Korean Korean War Memorial.

Very cool, thanks for the pics.

I was stationed in South Korea at Osan AB for a while but never made it to the war memorial in Seoul. Thanks for posting these photos

My Uncle Ned served in Korea and was awarded a Bronze Star. This was many years before I was born and I never knew him before it changed him.

You can see a huge difference between day one and sometime before he was wounded.

From poor farm boy to someone that killed many men. The war never went away for him. When he came home he was king of the bar fight and was never sober.

Very interesting, OttoSig. Thanks for posting.

Your pictures are fantastic Otto. Thank you.

Great stuff. I especially like the last shot of the East vs. West weaponry display.

Great pics. So much cool stuff there.

Very impressive museum and photos! Thanks!

Is that the Daewoo K2? I saw an interesting article about the background of that rifle and it said it's basically "half an AK-47 and half an M-16", like the Koreans took the best aspects/feature of both rifles and combined them into a homegrown military battle rifle.

Yep.

Gas system based on the AK. Bolt carrier group and fire control group based on the M16. External appearance based on the Armalite AR18/AR100, with a touch of FN FNC for flavor.
