Good informational work from the people that know. The articles were very well written to keep any reader in tune. The only question I have relates to the Spirit of St. Louis and how that fit in with the title. No Gun Ri was a shocker much like My Lei touches a dark soul of the military therefore little is known or acknowledged to the American populace.
