Seoul South Korea Liberated
The liberation of Seoul was
celebrated with the return of South Korean President Syngman Rhee and U.S. Army
General Douglas MacArthur, appearing together at a noontime ceremony to mark
the return of the government to the capital, which had been seized by the
People's Army of North Korea in June. General MacArthur declared to the crowd,
"By the grace of a merciful Providence, our forces, fighting under the
standard of that greatest home and inspiration of mankind, the United Nations,
have liberated this ancient city of Seoul."; at the same time, choosing to
liberate Seoul rather than cutting off the escape of the North Koreans from
Pusan, allowed 30,000 enemy troops to flee back across the border.
