Stop Sanction [on Iran and North Korea]! (SPARK)

The United States should apologize and compensate for the U. S. military bombings
onto the Wolmi-do on Sept. 10, 2010.

* The below was informed from an attachment at the SPARK site(평통사 사이트에 알려짐)

EXCERPT from the attachment(partly English while mostly in Korean) in the site:

"The Commission ascertained that the residents in Wolmi island (Wolmi-do) were killed on September 10, 1950, by U.S. bombing of the area. At least 10 victims were verified by the Commission to have been killed, but it is believe there were more victims killed. The bombing was executed by U.S. marine aircrafts of Carrier Division 15 led by Rear Admiral Richard W. Ruble.

The objective was to saturate the eastern half of Wolmi-do. The marine aircrafts (VMF-214, VMF-323) that launched from the USS SICILY and USS Badoeng Strait dropped 95 napalm bombs, rocketed and strafed the east side of Wolmi-do and thoroughly destroyed the area. Wolmi-do was a strategically important area for the Operation of Incheon Landing."

Reenactment of 1950 Incheon Landing: Naval vessels, aircraft and marines from South Korea, the U.S. and Australia reenact the Sept. 15 1950 Incheon Landing operation that helped change the course of the 1950-53 Korean War and two weeks later liberated Seoul from North Korean occupation, in waters near Wolmi Island, Wednesday. Seoul has annually reenacted the battle scene since 2008, but this year’s reenactment was the largest in terms of size as it marks the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the war. / Korea Times photo by Cho Young-ho
