As you weave your way
through the crowded traffic and mobile phone bearing citizens
of modern Pusan, it is easy to forget the massive destruction
and loss of life that occurred on the peninsula half a century
ago. A visit to the somber quiet of this cemetery reminds
you of the human cost of what occured. Soldiers from 12
of the 22 participating nations are buried here. There is
also a memorial to some 350 unknown soldiers. |
