America was born on this date. This date is supposed to mean freedom, independance, and on some level safety from all the evils in the world. Yet, to some troops, this was not the case. To some troops who fought for us, believed in us, and did what they were told without questions, this might even seem completely false now. For some troops never made it back. From where? Why? From China in WWII and Korea. They were too deep in to be pulled out quickly. What happened to them you may ask? They were left there. Ok, so how many are we talking here? Around 50? 500? No. 23,000 troops. How do you leave 23,000 people somewhere you ask? Good question. Ask uncle sam, who was supposed to be looking out for them while they were looking out for us.

On this day, I choose not to remember all the men who fought to save this country, but rather the men who went to fight and were left standing - by thier own country they loved.
