The United Nations Command Honor Guard supported a ceremony in the Korean Demilitarized Zone Aug. 18, to honor two U.S. Army officers killed in one of the most infamous incidents of the Cold War.
The ceremony marked the 49th anniversary of the 1976 “axe murder incident,” when Capt. Arthur Bonifas and 1st Lt. Mark Barrett were attacked by North Korean soldiers while leading a work party to trim a poplar tree that blocked visibility between United Nations Command checkpoints.
