Seoul Parade, 1959

Honest John Rocket was in Seoul Parade.

Honest John Rocket was in Seoul Parade. An Honest John rocket on its launch track takes part in the military parade. Koreans, young and old, honoered their first and only president, Syngman Rhee, on his 84th birthday. Parades, military demonstrations, folk dancing, and a jet flyiver makred the day througout the young republic.
