To honor the Nakdong River Battle Victory event in Waegwan at July, 1950. South Korean troops finally halted the advance of invading North Korean troops along the banks of the Nakdong river. It was one of the bloodiest battles of the Korean War. There was a natural barrier named the “Pusan perimeter” where Korean and American troops stopped North Korean forces from advancing. This is where eighth army commander Lt. Gen. Walton walker gave his famous “Stand or Die” order. Korean and US military and community leaders conducted a small ceremony at the nearby Hill 303 Memorial. This year marks the 72nd anniversary of the Korean War. Eighth army participates in the event each year with personnel coming from 19th ESC units stationed at nearby Camp Carroll.
