Goodbye, farewell and amen

Recognize the title? Most people probably won’t see the relationship between the title and today’s events in history. I thought it was appropriate because today, July 27th, 2003 is the 50 year anniversary of the armistice between North and South Korea. Over 5 million people were killed during the Korean War.

I read a story this morning from the Associated Press that talked about a rain-soaked ceremony being held in Panmunjom. This is the village where the armistice was signed 50 years ago today. 1,200 veterans attended this ceremony and later toured a military hut that straddled the demarcation line where a single North Korean soldier stood guard.
