This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

North Korea Returns Remains of 55 Americans Killed in the Korean War
From the July 29, 2018, Chicago Tribune "Kim's end game remains to be seen" by Eric Talmadge.
North Korea made good on a promise to President Trump by returning 55 sets of apparent remains of U.S. soldiers killed during the Korean War. But it expects something in return -- a peace treaty, or something much like it.
Friday was the 65th anniversary of the end of the 1950-1953 Korean War , which concluded not in a formal peace treaty but an armistice agreement that was supposed to be temporary but has stayed in effect ever since.
The remains of more than 5,000 American soldiers are believed to be recoverable in North Korea and it is possible that they have gathered hundreds more of the remains
The remains were flown to Hawaii where they will undergo scientific testing to determine if they are human, American or of Allied troops.
