"In Front of Them All"

July 27, 1953 brought the signing of the infamous Armistice Agreement, but the world has yet to see peace and unification between North and South Korea.

We had the honor of visiting Panmunjom - the former farming village that now serves as the site of the United Nations Command, and where soldiers daily commit themselves to maintaining peace. The experience was humbling and gave me a new appreciation for those who serve in the military - for the freedom of fellow Americans as well as so many around the world. These soldiers truly stand "In Front of Them All."

We toured the DMZ, stepped onto North Korean soil in the MAC building where the official unfriendly and sometimes hostile meetings are held, and climbed through the 3rd tunnel found built by North Koreans in an attempt to infiltrate South Korea. Take a few minutes and check out the few pics we can share with you.

That is an education in itself. Makes you stop and ponder the freedom that you have and how thankful you should be. Please don't go there again!
Love, Mom
