Amazing. This is so right on so many levels. God bless this man and those helping. And God bless those troops and their families.
Not related to WW II, but there is also the USMC "legend", that when the Marines broke out from the Chosin Reservoir, the bodies of several hundred Marines were hidden in a cave, which was then carefully closed up and the cave mouth concealed. Supposedly the location/coordinates are top secret, awaiting the time when N Korea is liberated, and they can all be brought home. It sounds plausible..indeed, it sounds highly credible..we shall see..
I am not sure if these lives were not in vain. This country has fallen so far.
Thank you for posting this.
I have a great uncle who went down in this area, though most likely at sea. However, it would be great if his remains could be found.
His sister just died 2 weeks ago. She had been waiting all her life for a find like this.
Amazing story per their efforts and the results of their mission.
Wow! I always assumed many were missing because of the nature of the fighting, but I didn't realize there were that many. I knew there were a fair number still missing from Korea, too.
Used to know an Army Vet who was in New Guinea. When his unit first came into a village they had Japanese heads on poles surrounding the village.
From what he could gather, the villagers loved the Japanese and hated White people, that is they loved how the Japanese tasted and didn't care for the smell of our guys, fortunately.
