When you think about it is amazing that after almost 60 years since the start of the Korean War crashed airplanes with the bodies of US pilots in them are still being found:
South Korea’s defense chief on Thursday visited a site where joint South Korea-U.S. efforts are under way to exhume the remains of a U.S. pilot who died in a plane crash during the Korean War, his ministry said.
The country will continue its efforts to locate those that remain unaccounted for from the 1950-53 conflict, “until the remains of every last soldier are found,” Lee was quoted as saying during his trip. [Yonhap]
This was all I could find on this story. Hopefully someone over at Stars & Stripes puts together a more full article on this. (hint, hint
)
For those that don’t know the Korean government does do a very good job in regards to the recovery of Korean War remains and should be commended for doing so. They even show great respect even when recovering remains of North Korean and Chinese soldiers. It is too bad that the Chinese and North Koreans don’t show the same respect for their war dead.
