    Question North Korea returns the remains of U.S. Military

    who died during the Korean War. Why are the remains draped in a U.N. Flag and not the American flag? I'm not sure if the photos I've seen are the remains arriving from NK in SK or some place else? Maybe by the time they get home it's our flag? Just curious.

    I think they ran out of American flags so went with enslaved nations flags.

    Just a guess, but maybe because the Korean war was a U.N. action.

    This was what I am assuming.

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!
