The videos average 8 mins with most of them in two parts. So instead of hosting them in this article, here is a direct link to the YouTube – WarInKorea’s Channel.

MCOM-K spokesman Edward N. Johnson said:

“This collection of videos and still photographs really is a treasure trove of historical information about the Korean War and the years that followed,”

From these YouTube and Flickr sites, users will find direct links to other IMCOM-K sites that focus on military life for those stationed in Korea today.

“This gives them an opportunity to learn more about the Korean War,” said Johnson, ” but also … a chance to showcase some of the things that are going on in Korea or that we’ve already accomplished to support our soldiers and families.”

Thank you for assembling the photographs. I am one of the individuals who never served, but greatly appreciates and respects the dedication and commitment of those who did serve. I hope this work gets the attention it deserves.

Thank you for the pictures. My father served. He has been gone since 97. I looked for his face in every shot. He was part of the tank destroyers.

I was touring in Korea on June 25, 2001, and witnessed the ceremony of leaving a flower on every grave of every military person buried at the international Cemetary. I watched UN GI’s wearing their old uniform shirts crying at such ceremonies; but they had come to Korea to remember the war’s end and fallen friends. I watched older Korean citizens buying them dinners, drinks or just shaking their hands in gratitude. I watched college age and younger Korean citizens cross the streets to stay away from these UN vets. I heard some young people yelling in anger at these soldiers. Our Korean guides would not translate what these shouted unpleasentries. I am not old enough to remember this war but as a Tae Kwon Do Black Belt, I thought I should learn some of this history. I shall not forget.
