U.S. Army Garrison Daegu Commander Col. Brian P. Schoellhorn and U.S. Army Garrison Daegu Senior Enlisted Leader Command Sgt. Maj. Jonathon J. Blue place flowers on a monument during a wreath laying ceremony in Waegwan, Republic of Korea, August 17, 2022. (Matthew Gleeson/ U.S. Army)
In a wreath-laying ceremony held near Camp Carroll in South Korea Aug. 17, U.S. and Republic of Korea troops and civilian personnel gathered to pay their respect to U.S. Army prisoners of war who were massacred by North Korean forces at Hill 303 more than 70 years ago.
After being captured during the Battle of Pusan Perimeter, 46 American soldiers were marched to a ravine on Aug. 17, 1950, and killed. Only five soldiers managed to survive the ordeal.
