EYES ON NORTH KOREA

My father is a Korean War vet, and suffers with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. It gave me a hellish childhood. And now this is just more fodder for the flames of suffering our soldiers suffered.

Anti-U.S. Photo Show Opens in Seoul

Pyongyang, June 17 (KCNA) -- A ceremony of opening an "anti-U.S. photo show of the south, north and overseas sides on the lapse of 60 years since U.S. military occupation" was reportedly held at the Maroni Park in Seoul on June 13 under the sponsorship of the South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification on the occasion of the "June 13-September 8 period of intensive struggle for peace against war and for the withdrawal of the U.S. forces." On display were pictures exposing murder of civilians and crimes committed by GIs, U.S. war drills under various code names, and environmental pollution at the U.S. military bases, pictures showing scenes of Pyongyang during the June 25 war, atrocities of the U.S. imperialists in dropping germ bombs and the capture of the U.S. imperialists' spy ship Pueblo and pictures on the anti-U.S. struggle of Koreans overseas. Speakers at the opening ceremony said that the show would help all the members of the nation in the south and the north and overseas keenly feel once again the urgency of the withdrawal of the U.S. forces and lead them to an energetic work to draw the masses into the movement for U.S. troop pullout.
They hoped that the show would serve as a major occasion in fortifying the will of all the fellow countrymen to oppose war and drive the U.S. forces out of south Korea.
After seeing the photos, the visitors said they came to clearly know the real nature of the U.S. imperialist aggressors who seek pleasure in human killing, and strongly demanded the withdrawal of the U.S. forces.
The South Headquarters declared that it would sponsor the function for anti-U.S information at over 100 spots across south Korea till September 8.
