Our Forgotten War

Description

It's really not a surprise to me that the Korean War gets called the Forgotten War, because during my time in the Hetalia fandom, I've found that a lot of people don't seem to remember that that's why Kimchiburger is even a thing. :c I was at a con this past weekend and when Kimchiburger got called for the photoshoot, there were some people standing near me who acted like it was the most outlandish crack they'd ever heard of.

America has relations and history with more than just Canada and the UK and Russia, guys! The US fought on the side of the South Koreans during the Korean War, and even today we still have 20,000 troops stationed on the border between North and South Korea. They're one of our biggest trade partners, and I bet if you check your phone or your laptop right now, one of them was made in Korea.

But anyway, the point of this picture: One of my very dear friends and an awesome South Korea roleplayer requested this from me. She wanted something "sad but sweet" to show them comforting each other after either the Korean or Vietnam War (I bet you didn't know they teamed up during that one either). I guess this could also be considered a sort of late Memorial Day picture.
