The Third Infiltration Tunnel at Panmunjom. Dug by the North Koreans on their side of the MDL, it was discovered south of the MDL by ROKA troops in 1978. Lying 73 meters below ground, it is about 2 meters wide and would have been supposedly large enough to channel a whole division of Northern troops per hour into the south had it been completed and used. |
| ..this is where the interceptor tunnel the South Koreans built meets the infiltration tunnel. Straight ahead down the tunnel, just below the MDL, the tunnel has been sealed off and a guardpost stationed. |

This is the memorial to the U.S. commitment to the war in Korea, just south of 'Freedom Bridge'. The four triangular panels represent the four services of the U.S. armed forces that took part in the war. There are 50 flag poles representing the states of the U.S where the servicemen came from.. |
| ..at the base of each flagpole is the state seal of that state. This one is Minnesota. |

..a detail of the panel depicting the Army. |
| This is the Shrine of the Unknown Soldiers at the National Cemetary (near Tongjak station). Inside, are listed the names of Korean MIAs from the Korean War. It's like a grave in there-very cold, dark, but also extremely clean, and it smells like a buddist temple with incense burning all the time. |

..over 4,000 soldiers are buried here, most from the Korean War. Others are Vietnam casualties, high ranking officers, and policemen. One section is set aside for those who fought for independence from the Japanese. |
