Veterans revisit war sites 60 years later

Until last week, Dick Fogel and Chuck Crumbacher remembered South Korea as a poor, war-torn country filled with toppled buildings and rubble.

Sixty years after the longtime DeKalb residents served with the U.S. Army in the Korean War, they had a chance to revisit the country where they helped defend democracy.

They were surprised to see the recovery of the country, which now has cities with bustling six-lane highways, skyscrapers, modern architecture, low crime and low unemployment.
