Quotations

“In the deserted valley by the mountain, I am looking at the soldier lying by himself. You had been a proud second lieutenant of the ROK Army. Your heart still pumps out warm blood. The blood's smell is stronger than the scent of roses." (Global Intelligence Files, Oct. 18, 2012; photo Wikipedia)
