Korean War Anniversary

Sixty years ago on June 25th, North Korean tanks and troops swarmed across the 38th Parallel beginning a war that would eventually cost the lives of thousands of American military, our allies, and the civilian populace. It has been referred to as the "Forgotten War" but in recent years that's not been so. Engineers were critical during the war, as they have been during conflicts before and after. In Korea,  however, missions that stood out involved destruction and repair of various types of bridges, as is shown here. Remember those who died during the war, and pay respects to those veterans now living.
