Korean Liberation Army - Post War

Post War

The members of the KLA returned to Korea during late 1945 and 1946. Many of its members, including Generals Ji and Lee, were to become part of the South Korean government, while General Kim contributed to the North Korean regime of Kim Il-sung, who himself claimed to have been a KLA commander.

There has been a movement in South Korea for years to change the National Armed Forces Day from October 1 to September 17, in honor of the foundation of the Korean Liberation Army in 1941.

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or war:

    To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a “home” might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.
    —Emily Post (1873–1960)

    The dead have been awakened—shall I sleep?
    The world’s at war with tyrants—shall I crouch?
    The harvest’s ripe—and shall I pause to reap?
    I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch;
    Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear,
    Its echo in my heart.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
