Good story. I like the old korean guys who try to talk to me and tell me their stories from when they worked alongside my grandfather. I can’t understand them but I listen anyway. Sometimes I find out from a KATUSA that the guy has been explaining to me the whole time how he likes the way his socks taste when he is drunk. Then I realize he is a homeless crazy man and not a veteran…So I move on and honor their memory anyway.

This is just the first in a series of postings I have planned about these little known DMZ shootouts that hopefully will prove to be interesting reading that will help people remember all the soldiers that died with little fan fare during this period along the DMZ.

About in the later part of the 50’s, the 60’s and 70’s about 40 American GI’s a year got killed in Korea. Accidents, suicide, murder etc… but 40 a year.
