**FILE** Commander-in-chief, United Nations Command, and U.S. Army Gen. Mark W. Clark signs the Military Armistice agreement at a base camp at Munsan-ni, Korea on July 30, 1953. Seated are members of the U.N. negotiating team, from left to right, Gen. Maxwell Taylor; Gen. Otto Weyland; Gen. Clark; Vice-Adm. Mark W. Briscoe, and Adm. Jocko Clark. The men standing are not identified. The 1953 Korean armistice agreement did stop the fighting, but it didn’t start the peace. Now the last generations to remember the “great toil” may see their war truly come to an end, if the two Koreas achieve the peace settlement proposed last week by their leaders. (AP Photo)

The Korean Armistice Agreement was signed at Panmunjom, ending three years of fighting on the Korean peninsula that killed an estimated 4 million people.
