Photographer: Beverly Pfingsten
Taken: June 14, 2011
Caption: Korean War
Additional Description: U.N. forces were pushed out of North Korea resulting in a massive sea evacuation from Hungnam. China's entry into the war didn't dampen the resolve of U.N. forces. Battles with names like Punchbowl, Bloody Ridge, Old Baldy, Heartbreak Ridge and Pork Chop Hill will live in the memories of Iowans forever. Truce talks would begin in July 1951 at Kaesong and again in October at Panmunjom. Peace would not be gained until July 27, 1953 when a 2 1/2 mile demilitarized zone was agreed upon near the 38th parallel.
