Interesting item and fun fact - I'm Colombian-American and my dad was in the shipping business in NY. Whenever South Korean ships would come to port, he would be invariable invited to attend their events. When Korean crews came to our home for dinner, they viewed my parents with awe and respect. Later on my Dad explained to me about Colombia's involvement in the Korean War. Later when I joined the US Army, it was fascinating to the Korean battle After Action Reports (AARs) and them describing in detail how Colombian units fought on Ol' Baldy. - And on the 50th Anniversary/commeration of the Korean War...Buses in South Korea had signs that said "Thank You"in the languages of the UN forces, and yes in some buses the word "GRACIAS"was written...As always DR.

This medal is extremely rare in Colombia but it’s one of the coolest militaria artifacts anyone can get their hands on. There is also a Bronze Star version of this medal.

In 2010 while visiting family in Colombia. I went to Bogota and visited the military museum. They had a room dedicated to those who fought in the Korean War. There was a letter framed on the wall. From a US commander saying that the Colombians were the most valient men he'd ever fought with. That he'd gladly fight with them on his side again.

For why US choose to get invovled... you could point at failure of US in mainland china, not wanting communist expansion with domino theory, rhee (korean president at the time) having come into power in back of US support probably had something to do with it, if korean falls it leaves japan to be the sole democracy in the east with taiwan (and considering how unstable japan was back then could have turned to any ideology honestly).

[@southronjr1570]

I knew one of the Turkish soldiers who served alongside the US in Korea. His name was Ali Mikalu. He was good friends with my father when I was growing up. My father, and now me and my boys, shoot in the North-South Skirmish Association and Ali was a member of a close team. He told us the story one night around the campfire at Fort Shenandoah about how he came to the US. He had served in the Turkish detachments and one day, just before his Turkish service time was up, he was sent through a US Army chow hall in a rear area. He said the food was so good, so much better than even when he was growing up, that he wanted to be able to eat like that all the time. So when his term was up with the Turkish Army, he was about to be sent home and requested to see a US Army officer about enlistment and citizenship. He was told If he served another tour with 2 years to the US Army, he would earn his citizenship and be able to come to the US after his time was up. He said he signed up then and there. Well he did his service and ended up coming to the DC area and became a DC police officer. He was probably the best pistol shot I have ever seen, he would show off in camp by taking his 1858 Remington Revolver and balance a nickel on the barrel and hold it there for 5 minutes while drinking a beer. I heard another story, not from him though, about when he had been involved in a shooting on night in DC, a burglary suspect was running away from him and he yelled for him to stop, the per turned and took 2 shots at him with an old Saturday night special. He simply stopped, pulled his service revolver and put 2 round into his chest. The big question about the shooting was the fact that the per was dropped at a crime scene measured distance of 110 yards, 330 feet. The IA investigator asked why he took the shot and he simply stated " he was shooting at me". This story came from his, then, supervisor so I took it to be true.

[@juancarloscuaocastellanos8813]

Thank you for your video, Mr Felton. As a Colombian, I feel extremely honoured to have made known the history of our participation in the Korean War and (no offence intended) I would like to make a correction to the information provided. Although we were neutral at the beginning of World War II, my country did declare war on the Axis in 1943. This was due to the attack by German submarines on several merchant ships en route between the mainland and the islands of San Andres and Providencia; apparently the owner of these schooners sold fuel to the German submarines patrolling the Caribbean and was not very "honest" in his business dealings. Thus, what began as a private matter became a cause for declaring war. Although we did not send troops to the theatres of war, we did proceed to intern Axis citizens for fear of a "fifth column". I should add that the paranoia resulting from the attack also affected Jewish refugees living in my country. This was because the laws in force at the time considered them to be German and Austrian citizens (even if the Reich did not). Finally, President Laureano Gómez (whom you mention in the video) was openly anti-Semitic and tried to promote two shameful incidents: a pogrom against Jewish merchants in Bogotá (1938?) and a boycott against the poet Pablo Neruda (on a visit in 1966), failing miserably in both.
