The men: Four soldiers with Joint Security Force Company, United Nations Command Security Force, the unit responsible for securing the North Korea-South Korea border.
The moment: On Nov. 23, 1984, the day after Thanksgiving, a Soviet citizen on a North Korea-sponsored tour of the demilitarized zone sprinted toward, and then over, the Military Demarcation Line. North Korean troops reportedly fired on the man, then pursued him over the border, drawing a response from U.N. forces, including U.S. soldiers.
