    Two U.S. Army officers in dress uniforms are placing white flowers at what appears to be a memorial or commemorative ceremony. The presence of the South Korean flag and U.S. military flags in the background suggests this is a joint U.S.-South Korean military memorial event. Both officers are wearing white gloves and are carefully arranging flowers on a stone surface.

    OSAN, Republic of Korea - Lt. Col. Matthew Walker and Command Sgt. Major Gene Harding, commander and command sergeant major, respectively, of 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 35th ADA Brigade, places flowers at the Task Force Smith Memorial, July 6, to commemorate the 68th anniversary of the first battle of the war involving U.S. Soldiers. TF Smith, comprised of a makeshift battalion of the Japan-based U.S. Army 24th Infantry Division, was sent to South Korea to delay the advance of North Korean forces. Inexperienced, understrength and ill-equipped, TF Smith sustained 60 killed, 21 wounded, and 82 captured, during its battle against North Korean forces. Nonetheless, TF Smith delayed the North’s advance and reinforcements were eventually able to repel the invasion. (Photo by Staff Sgt. Todd Pouliot, 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade)
