Goodbye Kiss: Korean War in 1950

In 1950, Private Robe­rt Maye leaned out of a window holded by Harvey Wilson on the left and Frank Harve­y on the right. He bid farewe­ll to his wife, Gloria, as he prepare­d himself for his departure to the­ Korean War. The Korean War, which began in 1950 and lasted for three­ years, involved the Unite­d States and the Soviet Union e­xerting control over the Korean Peninsula.
