How many of you do remember the date of Inchon Landing- September 15, 1950-?
BB Lee
P.S. A couple of months ago I had a chance to go to Ethiopean restaurant located in Northern Virginia, Washington suberb and noticed one old gentleman sitting alone on one corner of the restaurant, keeping the glance on us- we accompanied one Korean couple!-. Finally my friend, very friendly and outgoing, decided to come to him to say hello. Alas, we learned he was dying to talk about his experience through Korean War he volunteered to participate in his youg age. We invited him to join to our dinner table and spend whole hour to listen such in teresting story including the pivotal role of Inchon landing- BTW, he became a history professor at Addis Abbaba and wrote many articles about Korean War, till he moved/followed his family to immigrate to the U.S. - . We were really ashamed to our ignorance to Korean War with such limited microscopic view as a Korean through his such extensive knowledge to Korea. But his last word remained in my heart: ' I am really saddened to know Koreans are 'ungrateful (?), thankless people, considering the USA as Number One Enemy ahead of North Korea!', which he left the table.

You have the right answer as to the Inchon landing date.
The battle began on September 15, 1950, and ended on September 19 after the fierce fights.
All I remembered were June 25, 1950, as the beginning date of the War, September 28 as the date of Seoul Liberation,
January 4, 1951, as the date of withdrawal from Seoul, and July 27, 1953, as the Armistice Day.
I am quite alarmed to hear that thankless and ungrateful Koreans consider the USA as Number One enemy!
Possibly the Egyptian Professor heard from some groups and factions such as pro-North Korea and anti-America communists.
Shame upon these atrocious groups from Koreans! It is quite distressing to know that those vicious Koreans are increasing recently.
I hope we have some better news from Korea.
