"After so many years, this will be a great moment for so many families. Thank you to Kim Jong Un," Trump wrote on Twitter.

Snip.....

A U.S. military transport plane flew to an airfield in North Korea's northeastern city of Wonsan to bring the remains to Osan air base in South Korea, the White House statement said.

Soldiers in dress uniforms with white gloves were seen slowly carrying 55 small cases covered with the blue-and-white United Nations insignia, placing them one by one into silver vans waiting on the tarmac in Osan.

Over a generation of appeasement from the bushes, clintons & Obummer cost the usa billions of $, gave them fuel + food + nuclear tech and only emboldened them and they developed weapons to attack us.

In 18 months Trump even has them return our war dead which NONE of the previous idiots could accomplish. MAGA !!

I can’t be the only one to ask, but US flags? American soldiers fight under only one banner, and its background isn’t blue with some stars in the middle.

That’s the UN flag. Indeed, the US was part of the UN Police Action in Korea.

We might not like it. I am sure the flags were changed. But the NORKs are making a point. Perhaps the people in the US should read some history.

Is Kim playing us for fools with slight of hand ? Thir issue is the removal of all nuclear weapons and delivery systems from their control now. I fear they are stalling for on going production time? This man has directly threatened this country or Gruam six times!with a nuclear attack! He is making nukes. Pompeo went there to obtain a list of nuclear production facilities and was completely ignored. Huge red flag of bad faith . All this sweetness and light may be to get us by the elections. In the meantime, he build six more nukes?

The USS Pueblo needs to be returned to its owner as well. Which never should have fallen into enemies hands, or allowed to stay.

Wasn’t a US specific war, it was a UN Police Action. Would prefer a US flag draped, but I can see why a UN flag was used.

In Korean war, American soldiers fought in the name of UN.
