A joint memorial service for survivors at the Nogeun Village Peace Park in Youngdong County, North Chungcheong Province to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Nogeunri massacre, where the US military killed Korean civilians. In this photo, participants have a moment of silence in front of statues representing the villagers after placing wreaths and lighting incense at an altar. The massacre took place from July 25-29 1950 when US soldiers shot fleeing civilians using aircraft fire and machine guns. 150 were confirmed dead, 13 are still missing and 63 suffered debilitating injuries.
