Among the people of the world, Koreans especially appreciate freedom and peace because of the civil war that seperated them and the divided country in which they now live. Koreans eagerly long for a peaceful unification
At 11 in the morning of August 18, 1976, North Korean soldiers obstructed trimming of branches of a poplar tree between the guard posts by the United nations forces personnel to secure a range of vision. Capt, Arthur G, Bonifas(postmortem honored as Major) and Lieutenant mark Tl. Barrett were killed and four korean soldiers and as many US soldiers were wounded.
