Korean DMZ - 1953 to Present - 63 Plus Years of US Presence

The Armistice as signed in July 1953 to stop the major fighting with North Korea, the Military Demarcation Line and the Demilitarize Zone were created to separate the 2 Korea's. Since then, US military members have always been present to preserve and protect South Korea.
This video is 53 plus minutes of history involving US Troops and Veterans! From peace talks, troops serving on the DMZ, incidents, Korean War Repatriations, and DMZ Vets returning to the past. This is made from a collection of several videos about the DMZ.
Although we do not patrol or man guard towers anymore! We still have troops present with JSA at Panmunjom.
This video is dedicated to those soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines, who have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve peace in Korea!

한국인도 처음보는 자료들이 가득하네요. 감사드립니다. 연합군 덕분에 남쪽은 민주주의로 발전할수있었습니다.

To the operator: this person named 최미자 is posting things in Korean that is mispelled and gibberish. Sentences doesn't make sense. Maybe using automatic translator.

[@marlinkojak9882]

i was there from April 1963 - April 1964 at the DMZ in First Cav was not very nice place to be

[@jimsarge3id359]

Also the dead who gave it all post 1951 to present. Korea is still as you know a combat tour{unrecognized} as you know. Look at the burial coffins and caskets returning home and tell me it's not a continuing hazard tour. Especially for the 2ID guys. Send back to Dover AFB over many years. And I speak of 2ID all the way to pusan. Every President {including Trump} will never acknowledge the deadly tour or tours faced on that peninsula. The President believes he can persuade Kim Jung Un to denuclearize which will never happen. They will just wait him out for six more years and continue their agenda. Probably , most likely, declaring Korea a combat Area of Operations would unsettle the current global atmosphere.

Please correct "sea of japan" to "east sea"

[@lucken13]

+Pierce Choi It is NOT incorrect! It is known by both names!

[@piercechoi3657]

But does it indicates both name? I only watched few seconds. And personally, Sea of Japan reflect their imperialism because I don't know any oceans indicates country's name. For example we don't call yellow sea as sea of China. Just personal opinion

[@cladglas]

+Pierce Choi Indian ocean, gulf of mexico, east china sea, south china sea, tasmanian sea, gulf of alaska, Philippine sea, english channel......
