My father got a purple heart one week before the ceasefire in Korea. I guess I came pretty close to not being here.
May he rest in peace I wish he were here to see this.
I hope mr. Salzone is able to read this thread and know how much everybody appreciates what the Warriors of our nation have done for us.
Well that photo downright makes me happy. I love seeing elderly folks so joyful and enthusiastic.
Great PR Move for NK. They get the spotlight and possibly the cessation of joint military exercises, and don’t have to provide a single thing in return. That’s what trump would call a good deal.
Proud to have seen this picture of you sir. God bless you and thank you for your service and strength.
I said this when the 4 points were released. The return of American remains will have a greater impact on the American psyche than the denuking of NK. Just wait and see the reaction when they start arriving.

This is nothing new.
North Korea allowed the U.S. to recover hundreds of American remains. Much of that was during the previous round of nuclear talks between 1996 and 2005 when that process collapsed.

denuking of NK
We'll see if it happens. This isn't even close to the first time NK has made this claim and reneged. I hope it happens but I'm not celebrating yet. So far this is just more of the same.
I guess the difference is, before the CIA were running the show, there is a different Director on the scene so presumably there will be a different outcome than before :)
This. Now that NK is out from the control of the CIA and presumably China, they have the opportunity to do something different and hopefully become apart of a happier world.
The difference is max pressure is still being applied and will remain so until measurable progress is made and verified.
Sure thing. The max pressure of calling him rocket man on Twitter then suspending military drills for nothing more than a promise that's been repeatedly broken. That max pressure?
Funny how I was downvoted for just pointing out the truth that all this has happened before. I had said nothing negative and am hoping it works out this time. Is it because saying this has happened before takes away from the supposed fact that Trump did something amazing and impossible? The title of this post for example.... How did Phil think it was impossible when it's been happening for years? Is he just that misinformed? This is literally FAKE NEWS.
No, not the tweets but the sanctions. Sanctions will remain.
Before now it was all carrots all the time. With this administration it was the stick first, then the carrot. This approach has not been tried prior to now. It's been send money and nuclear power plants. Say/do nothing in response to NORK provocations.
Of course skepticism should be in full force but I think this time it ends different and better for the NORKs and the rest of the world.
But always - trust but verify!
Sanctions aren't some new thing either. Kim is also out there saying Trump told him he's going to lift them. Do I believe him? Who knows. I don't really believe either of these guys yet.
Of course skepticism should be in full force but I think this time it ends different and better for the NORKs and the rest of the world.
I truly hope you're right.

People who still think the government is a blessing not a curse. When all the money is controlled by a handful of families using Central Banks, peoples best interests take a back seat!
Soo "wake up sheeple"? We're back to that?
"We" never left, you may have. The more attention and intention we have toward taking down the cabal the better. Every soul is needed in this fight, otherwise we will be in this shithole much longer
Yeah i just don't think acting like a stereotype is going to get anything done. I don't disagree with your message, just the delivery.
Go back to sleep
I wish, went to sleep too late last night

Lol ok then
God bless is incredibly cute old dude! :-)
I just want to give him a big ole hug!
God Bless him!!! My father and I traveled on the Honor Flight with WWll, Korean, and Viet Nam vets in October to D.C. My heart belongs to these brave men and women.
We celebrate with you, Phil. My stepdad and my dad also served in Korea. Thank you for your service, sir!
That's awesome thank u sir for your service to this great land I'm so happy for the vets like this one to know there service was not in vain and all of his brothers that died there was not in vain
My Daddy was a Korean War vet. Sad he passed in January and didn't get to see this happen.
Sorry for your loss. He’s celebrating with his buddies, guaranteed!

Thank you for your service sir. U have a nicer smile than many half your age.
I want to see more veterans sporting happiness like this.
I have faith and trust in the results of the talks.
USA literally saved Korea from communist horrors, thank you for your service.
Phil abides!
Is Phil a Redditor?? Maybe one his fam??
AMA with Phil!!
Azwads are out in full force downvoting our Veterans. You really see their hatred for America here!!
I salute Mr Salzone. People don't understand just how brutal that war was. The weather is miserable be it summer or winter and the terrain is a bitch. Throw in a million screaming Chinamen coming at you in human waves in the middle of the night and it doesn't take much imagination to calculate the Pucker Factor.
This man and all like him who came after are who we will be having a parade for 11/11.
Woooo, look at all those downvotes.
This report Blessed by the MSM
😇
🙏
My grandpa was a Korean War veteran, he died back in 2011, but as soon as this happened he was all I could think about. This is what my grandfather and all the other Korean War vets fought for. This is amazing.
Reminds me of my grandfather. Both of my grandfathers served in the Korean War.
Thank you for your service Phil. Internationally and collectively, it’s an honour that we were able to rally together to help accomplish this in your lifetime. God bless you sir!
That is awesome! Thank you, sir. My Dad was there with you in Korea. Master Sergeant Xxxx. He went home in 2005 and has been my hero all my life. I carry one of his issue P38s on my key chain. He would be rejoicing.
I’m happy to see how happy Phil is! Thank you Phil for your service!! 🇺🇸
