My grandfather fought for the U.S. Army in the war. He told me a story of his where he was in a bunker with his squad and a grenade came into the bunker and he was the closest to the exit and he got out of the bunker and was the only one to get out just in time seeing his friends all get blown apart and killed behind him. Though he did suffer an injury to his leg that was non-life threatening. He then afterwards got surrounded by North Koreans and had to go back and hide in the same bunker throwing his friends dead body over his and getting there blood on him so he looked dead too. He said he laid there in the bunker and pretended to be dead with his dead friends bodies on him for two days until the North Koreans were pushed back and he was later found by Americans and saved. He then suffered an infection in his foot and had a toe cut off. He then continued to fight with his toe cut off and what he just saw. My grandfather just past away February 9th 2021 peacefully at 91 years old. He was the hardest working man I’ve known and a great grandfather and I wished I would have sat down and learned more from him when I had the chance as he probably had many other stories to tell me.

Syngman Rhee's demonstration that he would go north alone hindered the cease-fire with his independent release. The Korea-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty and the terms of the South Korean military build-up. At that time, Rhee Syngman's judgment was that the Korea-Japan forced merger and the division of the Korean Peninsula were distrusted in the mind that the U.S. could no longer trust the U.S. due to the betrayal of the U.S. The U.S. raised Rhee Syngman. The U.S. also prepared the so-called Everready Plan and appeasement plan to eliminate Rhee Syngman.

I am Korean. My family fled during the Korean War and settled in Busan and has been living well so far. After a long time, the Republic of Korea has developed a lot and suffered a lot in the war. I'm helping countries that are missing. All of these are the sacrifices of many countries that helped during the Korean War and thanks to people. It's been a long time now, but many people still appreciate and remember your hard work during the Korean War. Thank you very much for protecting the Republic of Korea with young blood during the Korean War. I will never forget your sacrifice in the Korean War until I die. Thank you. You are the true heroes of Korea.

Honestly, South Korea has become such a shining example of how a country can go from literally nothing after being war torn to a complete machine of influence and development on the world stage. It’s truly amazing. Architecture, fashion, music, movies, TV shows, cosmetics, skincare, technology, food (including traditional plates) … it’s made its way around the globe and so many countries are always looking to see what South Korea is doing. I mean, I don’t even live there and keep up with so much. That is amazing considering just a little over half a century ago, the Korean War was happening and SK was struggling to pick up the pieces and make its name known to the world. Now it has a powerful voice. I’ve yet to meet a South Korean who isn’t proud of their home country or at least has great respect with where they’re born and raised. They’ve been able to successfully merge tradition and culture with the modern world coming from nothing, which many countries are still struggling to do to this day. They made do with what they had and went for it. Be proud of your country and your people. You are your own heroes, as well.

My grandfather fought for the Colombian army. He was really young when he joined and decided going to the war, (he was just 21), and he used to tell me how hard that was. There were kinda a few Colombian soldiers (5.000), and in that year, Colombia was not really well-armed or prepared to be on a really serious thing. The "weird" (or what most called my attention), is that despite Colombian soldiers did their best in there they've got a low recognition, and veterans ain't so remembered. Anyway, my grandpa was part of an artillery batallion, and he got captured in an ambush, wich he was captured and taken as a war prisoner, but, (by a reason i still don't know) he was fastly released. He knew english, so he was able to speak to other people, and he told me that Colombians were called "Demons" by the north koreans, because they died on their grounds, and never falled back, despite of being attacked or being out of supplies, and most of them died holding their grounds and fighting until the last moment they could.

[@Simplehistory]

One of the first to engage the enemy in the Korean war

[@AeroAngel111]

The 65th Infantry Regiment was made up of native Puertoricans, my Great Grandfather was also one of them. His name was Lt. Benjamin Ramos. He survived being blown away from a grenade (and falling down a cliff in the process) when he and his unit where patrolling. He was the sole survivor between him and 5 other guys that got blown away. He later was wounded in combat, when fighting Chinese forces. And soon after he was sent back to the U.S in Kentucky., later surviving an airplane crash where the aircraft broke in half on landing. He broke his leg in the process but survived all those things, and he lived until 2011. @Simple History, I'd be an honor for us Puertorican viewers if you could make a video of the 65th Infantry Regiment, as they showed what the people of my little country can attribute to the USA.
