American Soldier Back In U.S

September 28, 2023 5:15 am

The American soldier who sprinted across a heavily fortified border into North Korea more than two months ago has arrived back in the U-S.   At a little after midnight, local time, the plane carrying Army Pvt. Travis King touched down at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston. Wearing what appeared to be civilian clothing, the 23-year-old shook hands with military officials on the tarmac before being taken to Brooke Army Medical Center for evaluation and treatment. It still is unclear why King, who had served in South Korea, bolted into North Korea while on a civilian tour of a border village on July 18th. Pyongyang abruptly announced yesterday that King was being expelled.
