Rememberance Day in Seoul at the National War Museum.

Thank you Tom, from Mississauga, for the poppy.

The UN War Memorial in Busan, where the official ceremony was held this morning at 11am.
A black memorial with a golden wreath. The number of troops dispatched to Korea during the war, with the injured and the dead listed. A heartfelt thanks from the Korean people, a bouquet of flowers with a red poppy in the center. A bronze statue of a soldier with two children holding bouquets. The names of the fallen are inscribed below, their graves, flanked by rose bushes, behind.
