The Seoul Metropolitan Government has unveiled a video display honoring more than 7,400 U.S. service members missing from the Korean War, set to run throughout October at the Garden of Gratitude memorial in Gwanghwamun Square. The display, which will play on a media wall in Freedom Hall, the memorial's underground exhibition space, coincides with Armed Forces Day on October 1 and United Nations Day on October 24.
The list of names was provided by a support group for families of missing U.S. troops, working with the U.S. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. The memorial, which honors countries involved in the war, saw over 100,000 visitors in August, with the Light of Gratitude light sculptures and Freedom Hall attracting an average of 4,393 visitors per day from September 1 to 27.
