Joint Security Area, DMZ, South Korea, May 18, 2002: South Korean soldiers stand guard in the Joint Security Area of the DMZ, the demilitarized zone that divides North and South Korea. The JSA, often called Truce Village as it was the site of truce negotiations between North Korea and United Nations Command (UNC) in 1953, is the only portion where the North and South Korean military stands face to face.
