The Turk vs. Greek thing is unfortunate. The Korean War was unfortunate, but necessary. It's good that both countries, as well as others, were able to make important contributions to the rescue of South Korea.

Oruc,
The Turks were attached to us.(the 25th. Inf. Div., 27th. Wolfhounds.
Barring none, The Turks were the greatest fighting soldiers in Korea. We, the 25th., did not worry about anything, when the Turks were manning the front lines. It was an honor tofight alongside of the turks. God Bless them all ! And God Bless those that have perished in that terrible war.

While all other UN forces sitting in the back ground Turks and American Units were fighting for their lives.

I have not heard any commentery about those Great Greek fighters!!!
I wonder what they were doing, while our heroiic Turkish Soldiers doing their duities???

It is true that heroism is in our DNAs…We do not surrander..We do not
sit and and wait..always attack and distroy is the only way to Glory.

I was only 14 yrs old..I remember how much I wanted to be with those Glories Turkish Soldiers when they were leaving from Ankara by Train loads…to an unknown place called KOREA.

All those Turkish soldiers who gave their lives in Korea..God Bless their Souls..may they have the highest Level in Heavens.

Hepsine Allah Rahmet Eylesin.
