PYONGYANG —A U.S. Navy pilot from your
Korean War arrived in North Korea on a commercial flight Saturday to look for
the remains of the fellow aviator he unsuccessfully tried to rescue 63 in years
past - an act in which he was awarded America's highest military honor.
Thomas Hudner, who is 88, belongs to an
exclusive American search team given permission by North Korean authorities to
ascertain the remains of an uncle, U.S. Navy Ensign Jesse Brown, as well as
their F4 Corsairs at Hagaru-RI at the foot of the Chosin reservoir.
”C Jesse Brown is eligible for equally
of help the guy can get despite the fact that it's well after death, " Hudner
told VOA. ”
The unprecedented mission in the united
kingdom, which has no diplomatic relations with America, wishes to reveal a
poignant story from combat aviation history.
“When this chance came out [to go back
to North Korea], in the beginning, I was very skeptical," he stated.
"It's almost unbelievable and I'm delighted that a lot of people would
take an interest in it. “
