The Korean Demilitarized Zone is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula that serves as a buffer zone between North and South Korea. The DMZ cuts the Korean Peninsula roughly in half, crossing the 38th parallel on an angle, with the west end of the DMZ lying south of the parallel and the east end lying north of it. It is 250 kilometres (160 miles) long, approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) wide and is the most heavily militarized border in the world.
De Koreaanse DMZ (Demilitarized Zone, ofwel gedemilitariseerde zone) is een bufferzone tussen Noord-Korea en Zuid-Korea. Het is een soort IJzeren Gordijn zoals dat tijdens de Koude Oorlog in Europa bestond: aan weerszijden van de hevig bewaakte grens staan de Noord- en Zuid-Koreaanse legers klaar om zich te verdedigen tegen de vijand. De grens is 248 kilometer lang. De DMZ is 4 kilometer breed.

Flag Day, or Dia de la Bandera, in Mexico symbolizes the pride that Mexicans have in their flag. Although they were colonized by Spain in the 1500s, the deep running pride for their country remains the same. The origin of the flag comes from the Aztecs, who believed that when they found the eagle perched on a nopal (prickly pear cactus) with a serpent in his talons that is where they were supposed to settle. That’s exactly what they did! The flags colors are green, white, and red. The green stands for hope and victory, and white stands for purity, and the red band represents the blood that was shed by their ancestors. The eagle on the cactus with the snake sits in the middle of the white band. Flag day is a day that Mexicans take to remember their country and how it came into being. In the schools, they teach the children about the origins of the flag and the nation anthem, and they often focus on the subject via TV shows and special programs.

SHERMAN OAKS - On the evening of November 12, 2022, Fire Station 88 held a gathering to honor the memory of their fallen brother, Firefighter III Kenneth "Kenny" Brink, who passed away unexpectedly in his home earlier that week. The large attendance for the flag ceremony and candle light vigil speaks to the love and respect Kenny had earned both inside and outside the Department. RIP Kenny, you will be missed.
