Great Regulars: All the graves at Paju face north,

toward the hometowns of those who are buried here.

"It seems to me that the South Koreans did not just thoughtlessly lay them to rest here," Kim Choon-Ae said. "This place was carefully chosen, as North Korea is just a stone throw's away."

"Graves in South Korea face South, but these graves face North, toward the hometowns of these fallen North Koreans. It truly takes something special for one to pay this kind of respect to his fallen enemies and bury them in such fashion," she said.
