The North Korean army on Monday (4/8) handed over the remains of four soldiers believed to have been Americans who died in the 1950-53 Korean War.
The handover marked the completion of the second successful mission by a ten-man team from the US Defence Department's POW/MIA Office (Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Office), who spent 20 days in North Korea searching known battle sites for the remains.

My grandpa served in this war. He died a year ago from cancer at age 84. I'll never forget him.
We thank him for serving✊
Thank you
Are you Chinese?
Chris Tian I thank your Grandfather for his service.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@armudi5947 No. Put my name together. It says Christian.
Atleast the NK soldiers respected the coffins and didnt just throw it over the border.
I guarantee most of them have a certain level of respect but you never know
If they throw the coffin then there would be world war lol
Every country army even if they were enemies still they respect fallen soldiers.

@ Sleepy Davis, my dad fought in Korea in the Corps, built schools and roads with the SEABEEs...said the Korean folks he met were the A#1 finest people. Said that sunrise in the Land of the Morning Calm was quite beautiful.

Kind of respectful to see how the NK Soldiers were “treating” our dead honestly..
No choice, could start a war or that’s how they are disciplined.
I think the NKs were simply being told how to behave at this ceremony. To show sincere respect to the American imperialists may be hazardous to them....

まっつん ,sube of you look into my comment with a brain, I didn’t blame the ppl, I blamed that fat frick
I think it's more about not crossing the DMZ tbf.
Agreed. It's good to see the bridge built by honor.
As long as that repulsive regime exists, I will never trust those bastards!
There was once a loyal soldier of the Philippines who died in Zomboanga City Siege by the Islamist in 2012 or 2013 (idk the exact year) but his last words are "I will not be cold if I die in the fighting, because they will blanket or cover me with a philippine flag or in Tágalog ( Hindi ako lalamigin kapag namatay ako sa gera kase kukumutan nila ako ng bandila ng Pilipinás.". Days Before dying from a rocket launcher from Moro National Liberation front. (Which is an Islamist separatist.) His last words really fascinated me. The idea of dying in a battle, but being blanketed with the national flag as an honor is really fascinating. He was willing to die. To protect and to preserve the country. Whilst the politicians only works to increase their wealth. This system really disgust me.
@أَحْمَد nope. The islamist escaped with human shields. Soldiers couldn't shoot them, and they got safe passage. Lol.
Mao jud
@أَحْمَد what?
@أَحْمَد Thats Filipino language.

did anyone else's ears hurt when those glitching sounds a cured or is it just my headphones??? Edit: im not joking (CHRISBARRY)

Wait how long did the North Koreans have these bodies
Since the Korean War in the early 50's
Daniel Wulff
i wonder how they stored them
@@aidan999 They were not stored. The bodies were found in 1997 on the battlefields where they had been laying/buried since the war in the 1950s.
Oh they must've been skeletons or ashes
They're still finding bodies. In n. Korea and Vietnam too.
Servicemen, the world over, conduct themselves according to military standards. I have seen and read about their sense of brotherhood toward each other regardless of the uniform they wear. I am not surprised by the solemn, respectful and dignified manner of the North, South Korean servicemen.
Four more MIAs brought home. 🎗🥁🇺🇸🙏
@escorpiuser bodies depending on the state of decomposition and personal facts we're probably not identified. I believe that is done by a lab in Hawaii. Upon identification the families, relatives are notified. A note of Interest President Trump's visit to the Korean peninsula netted an additional hundred and fifty-two returned servicemen, in agreement.
You got that right mate . Glad you didnt do the same as everyone talk shit about NK but never look at what they do at home and the home of others
My uncle fought in Korea in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. Never talked about it but still had nightmares 50 years later. No one, not even his family knew he had been awarded a Silver Star until his funeral.
My grandfather never spoke of his time in Korea ever, I have no clue as to the horrors he witnessed, a year ago he died of dementia and I still have no idea what happened, I miss him
Royal welch fusiliers I think was his regiment
That war is shameful to both side, either to the US or to China. All soldiers were forced to join the war. It's understandable that your grandfather did not even want to talk about it.
@@emmanuelsung I wouldn't say those two nations forced anything. The North Koreans started the war with an invasion of the South. The USSR, USA, China, South Korea, and others were all responding to a war rather than starting it.
@@Jake-rs9nq Yes, I agree with you, my grandfather told me that Mao warned Kim Il-sung not to cross the 38th Parallel, but he did not even listen. And I am not quite sure why the US even threw bombs across the border between China and North Korea, which caused China had to join into the war.
I appreciate that NK, yall showed total respect of our GI's here on this exchange, and for that
THANX FROM TEXAS
The Norks show more respect to our war dead than some Americans...
@Adrian Heath Or guys like this: czcams.com/video/UNugcPeCZZE/video.html
they deserve no respect. it was an imperialist war.
i beg to differ
Cause there korean. Not American

You will never be forgotten
Got to respect the North Koreans for being respectful in this case. They didn't need to hand them over or even hand them over in such an honourbale way. This was a nice video.
The principal from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” made a nice tribute at the end.
Or the simpsons
LOL 😂😂
The steel coffin probably cost half of state money
If you read the coffin, it was previously sent to NK from the US Army Mortuary, did'nt cost them a dime, it cost you and me.
Its aluminum not steel
At least they are coming back home. God bless those troops who gave there lives serving in Korea.
I have to wake up at 6 tomorrow for an English exam but I’m here watching a coffin exchange.
Should have been covered in an American flag! Doesn't matter if it was a UN police action.

@@matsixseven707 Nobody asked for your shit take. 🤡
Wrong, this U.S Soldier gave his life for nothing. He fought and died for a foreign country. How pathetic
I has two grandfather's serve the Marines in this war and I couldn't be more proud of them for serving!!!!! It is nice to see the NJ soldiers give that much respect to our fallen brothers!!!!! Thank you to all that have ever served in any branch!!!!!!!! I have family that go all the way back to WW1 that have served in the military. My 3rd time great grandfather that fought in WW1 was alive when I was growing up so I was able to talk to him and he was alive when the Celilo falls were still there on the Columbia river before they built those days and completely took out the falls!!!!!! It was so nice to hear him talk about what it was like dip netting salmon
I had a teacher that served over there, welcome home guys. R.I.P.
The mutual respect in the moment is pretty amazing
My grandfather came to america from Germany in 1922. He was in ww2. Long story short he got hurt. Got sent to an English hospital. My grandmother was his English nurse. True story.
i wonder how many more have never been recovered
There are so many undiscovered bodies from past wars to current wars happening now
Niki’s Path to Family there are quite a few, but this is not uncommon or unheard of in any war. There are still about 100 US marines who fought on Tarawa during World War II whose bodies have never been recovered.
Niki’s Path to Family 69th like.
Very sad right
My great grandfather fought for the Chinese side during the war.He did return home in time to have his marriage after his posting at the north is over
For these old warriors all we can do now is remember them

For all the hate they get the north koreans are very respectful to the dead.
AJ G
Not because they care. They’re literally holding the dead hostage as a bargaining chip to lessen sanctions. I fail to see how that’s respectful to the dead.
@@ReformedSooner24 well they couldve just let them rot where they where
AJ G
That’s also not respectful. They COULD just turn them all over and be like “here’s your dead men. Take them back”. And do something as an act of goodwill like that, but no, they never will because it’s much easier to use these fallen heroes as currency to lessen punishments put on them for doing bad shit.
@Timur K. boom what a question
BS , you ignoramus , N Koreans are not respectful of each other , their own ppl nor foreigners . Ppl like you “praising these hateful mofos” make me sick .
it's not about their behavior, it's basic military code to respect their fellow fighters regardless of their uniform.
R.I.P to all the fallen soldiers.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for your service.
If a South Korean or American soldier accidentally trips on the block on the ground and falls into North Korea, do they get arrested and never heard from again? I also wonder what would happen if the North Korean soldiers just kept walking into South Korea with the caskets. I guess they can stay, but I wonder what sort of skirmish might have happened during such an incident.
That's a good question let's hope it never happens
The person jumping the boarder would be sent back to avoid the repercussions. War and skirmish would ensue if one side would refuse to hand them back over, that's why NK soldiers come so close but don't defect. Of course there are other cases where the defection isn't obvious and the SK government can cover up and state that there was no soldier taken in (instead of saying that they died whereby they would need to provide evidence)
Basically if NK saw them defect and it was obvious they would demand them back, highly unlikely south korean government would go into a war over 1 soldier as it's not worth it. It's almost taunting for these soldiers as they are so close yet so far away at the same time because even if they tried they would get sent back immediately
@@Archive41024 many nk soldiers have defected. Nk can demand all they want. They won't get them back.
The big thing keeping the nk soldiers from defecting is the fate of any family they may have like brothers & sisters, mothers & fathers as well as wife & kids. They'll pay the price.
They get laugh at severly by NK soldiers
If you’re a South Korean then yes you will get arrested for 6 years, but if you are American you can Literally visit North Korea but you can’t look suspicious or you’ll get arrested too.
my Father Marine Sgt James J. Walsh Sr. Severed in this forgotten war. He died a Marine in 2001
SEMPER FI DAD!!
It’s not a forgotten war
At least the North Korean Soldiers were respectful of the coffins and didn't check their watch.
the spirits of those soldiers left behind in North Korea must be breathing a sigh of relief. “I’m finally going home.”
This footage is old right? And why are the nk soldiers with american bodys ? (Sorry cause i dont really know why)
@@JoaoPereira-qo8yi They are left behind from the korean war,most likely fighter and bomber pilots who died in a crash landing or got shot down
Anyone else heard Astronomia playing?
This is not the time for memes
American:oh no our soldier died we must pay respect
Dprk soldier:so should we tell them we capture this one in nort korean war that we still have more US capture soldiers
DPRK:next year
Buddy you can’t spell and you can’t make complete sentences
Every fallen soldier deserve respectfully burial ...their sacrifice will be remembered...RIP ...respect
Rain makes it more dramatic.
My grandpa was a US Marine and served in the Korean War. He died from cancer almost 30 years ago and never got to meet him. RIP. You are missed.
Shoudve placed american flags over those coffins!
Was wondering about that too. Why a UN flag instead of an American flag. Korea was a UN operation, but still they should be covered by the flag of their own country on their journey home.
It might be something to do with the Coffins being handed over at this location as the huts in the background are UN huts designed for the peace talks. It also might be because it was the largest UN operation ever which involved nearly every country in UN. Tbh I don’t know but I’m sure they had the American flag over them when they got home. I for one would want the Union Jack in their coffins if they were British.
Because they fought under united nation peace keeping forces
Indian special forces were also deployed
Because they were all people who volunteered to fight for the UN.
It’s not a guaranteed that the remains were American or not.
Wow, my ears love the static noise at the start of the video
They were very respectful.
Thanks for your service . i hope continue relationship with USA and the South Korea . i love an American . God bless the America

Military is well-fed; civilians are the ones who starve. It’s an incentive to get everyone to join their ranks.
The way the video was all choppy and glitchy makes me feel like I’m seeing a alternate timeline
So if they’re American servicemen, why are they draped in the UN flag? If I was one of those men, I wouldn’t want to be laid under anything other than old glory.
Because the US forces entered the Korean War under the United Nations Banner alongside many other nations in the UN. Although US had the most fighting troops and the chief commander was a US General, it technically was the 'UN Forces' in Korea not solely the US. It was different to the Vietnam War where US engaged warfare as an independent nation. Later the US would ask its allies to join them in Vietnam but it was never a UN effort.

Get that UN flag off Americans caskets. That isn’t what they fought for.
Actually it is, Korea was a UN mission and entirely a UN mission. That was our intention on involving nato in the first place

@@dylan4964 A UN resolution. Not the UN as a country. US soldiers deserve American flags.
