Unforgotten fighter of Korean war: U.S. pensioner a POW at 85

Through Ju-min Park and James Pearson SEOUL (Reuters) – As autumn descended on a Korean geographical region devastated with the aid of three years of severe battle, a gaggle of anti-communist guerrillas presented U.S. serviceman Merrill Edward Newman with a gold ring. He returned to North Korea remaining month as an American tourist and was once snatched via authorities from his aircraft moments before it was because of leave for Beijing. The North Korean regime has nourished reminiscences of the 1950-53 Korean Conflict as the muse for the u . s . a .'s identity and acts as if the conflict continues to be taking place. No peace treaty used to be signed between america, South Korea and North Korea.
