A military honor guard carries the remains of the 12 soldiers who died in North Korea during the Korean War at Seoul Airport in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, on May 25. President Lee Myung-bak and top military officials from South Korea and the United States attended the ceremony for the first repatriation since the 1953 cease-fire. A U.S. military recovery operation team excavated the remains from Changjin Lake area in North Korea and sent them home after examination showed they were South Korean soldiers. By Kim Kyung-bin
