Good morning, Whitewater.
Friday brings us a partly sunny day, with a high of eighty-four, and a one-third chance of afternoon showers.
On this day in 1950, following a Communist invasion of the south, Pres. Truman orders U.S. forces to defend South Korea. The New York Times reported his decision:
Washington, June 27–President Truman announced today that he had ordered United States air and naval forces to fight with South Korea’s Army. He said this country took the action, as a member of the United Nations, to enforce the cease-fire order issued by the Security Council Sunday night.
Then acting independently of the United Nations, in a move to assure this country’s security, the Chief Executive ordered Vice Admiral Arthur D. Struble to form a protective cordon around Formosa to prevent its invasion by Communist Chinese forces.
Along with these fateful decisions, Mr. Truman also ordered an increase of our forces based in the Philippine Republic, as well as more speedy military assistance to that country and to the French and Vietnam forces that are fighting Communist armies in Indo-China.
