6.25 Incident

Fifty-five years ago today, the North Korean Peoples Army invaded across the 38th Parallel separating North and South Korea. They would drive the retreating Republic of Korea and US Armies into a pocket around the southern port of Pusan until Douglas McArthur's daring amphibious landings at Inchon threatened their rear areas and supply lines. It would take a coalition of United Nations, led by the United States, to fight the North Koreans and Chinese and Soviet volunteers to a cease-fire that stands yet unresolved today.
