A very weak shot of the Onondaga County War Memorial. I assure you I didn't take it because Def Leppard was playing. Ugh.

 

The outside area of this large museum is filled with US military gear that was left behind after the war, including tanks, helicopters and other armoured vehicles. I got the impression this was just a lure to get American tourists to visit though, so they could be properly educated about the war from the Vietnamese perspective inside the museum.

 

The exhibits portray an extremely one-sided and anti-American view of history, and it was difficult to know exactly how much of the historical information could be entirely trusted, but it was impossible not to be shaken by the photographs and testimonies from the victims of the chemical weapons used by the US.

I was very disappointed at the scale of the Rodimus figure, thankfully I got him at Amazon for cheap because paying more than that for such a small figure is definitely not worth it

Diefenbunker: Canada's Cold War Museum

 

Canada participated in the Korean War of 1950-53 as part of the United Nations.

 

As a former Japanese possession, Korea had been divided between the USSR, occupying the North, and the US, occupying the South, following the Second World War. The country remained divided and a Communist government was installed in the North. The Korean War began on 25 June 1950 when forces from Communist North Korea invaded South Korea. The United States led a United Nations coalition to repel the invaders. Canada joined the UN coalition and sent its armed forces to fight on the Korean peninsula to help stop Communist expansion.

 

The first Canadian contribution to the conflict came with the dispatch to Korean waters of the destroyers HMCS Cayuga, Athabaskan and Sioux on 12 July 1950. The RCAF also began regular trans-Pacific flights to Japan to support UN operations in Korea.

 

Canada's peacetime army in 1950 was tiny, consisting of some 20,000 all ranks. The government therefore decided to raise a volunteer force, the Canadian Army Special Force (CASF) for service in Korea. The majority of CASF volunteers were veterans of the Second World War. Later, regular Canadian army units were rotated to the front in Korea.

 

Canada participated in Korea for three years, on land, sea and in the air. Much of the land combat took place in very harsh conditions. Canadian units distinguished themselves during these actions, including the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, which received a US Presidential Unit Citation.

 

In all, 26,791 Canadians served in the Korean War. Of these, 516 lost their lives. Canada had shown it was willing to stand by the United Nations and its allies to stop aggression.
