DMZ!

Jordan was so excited to go to the DMZ! It is also known as the Korean Demilitarized Zone, a strip of land between North and South Korea, cutting it roughly in half.  It is 160 miles long and is the most heavily militarized border in the world. He didn't say much, but sent a lot of pictures!

The DMZ was created in July of 1953 as each side agreed to move their troops 2,000 meters from the front line, creating a buffer zone 2.5 miles wide.

Large numbers of troops are stationed on both sides, each side guarding against potential aggression from the other side.

I knew Grandpa (Dave) would have loved to see bones like these from the Korean War; they were fascinating to see.
