Watching live as the “possible” remains of Korean War fallen are returned to U.S. soil at Pearl Harbor Naval Station. Very moving. My uncle served in Korean War.He passed last year. Was a 19 Year old infantry staff seargent in 1st Cav. Was at Pusan Perimeter right from start. When, as a young Marine, I asked “How does someone become a 19 year old staff seargent?” His reply: “Everyone else was dead.” He was one of only 6 survivors in his platoon and only a handful of survivors in his company...so they promoted him up the ladder because he had built up combat experience. Greatest honor I have ever had is serving my country in the U.S. Army and later United States Marine Corps. Watching our wonderful men and women in uniform handle the caskets on television as part of what I’m sure is a hand picked honor guard is also very moving. God Bless the United States of America.
