Remembering the Incheon Landing Operation 69 Years Later

This weekend is the 69th anniversary of the Incheon Landing Operation that turned the tide of the Korean War. It will be interesting to see who in the current Moon administration will take the time to attend any memorials to the U.S. troops that died executing the operation.

Lieutenant Baldomero Lopez of the Marine Corps is shown scaling a seawall after landing on Red Beach. Minutes after this photo was taken, Lopez was killed when smothering a live grenade with his body. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

Probably a Vice Minister or lower will be sent to show the flag.

How many Americans or Koreans would act as selflessly as LT Lopez?

How many even know his name?

How many think MacArthur was evil for trying to stop “Uni”?
