a mindful June 25 to you

Koreans commemorate June 25 as "Yugio" (yuk-ee-oh, i.e., six-two-five, and not the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh!, a manga series), the date of the start of the Korean War (1950-1953). Strangely, this is not one of South Korea's national holidays despite there being other solemn holidays like Independence Movement Day (March 1) and Memorial Day (June 6). All the same—a mindful June 25 to you. For the Starks, winter is always coming, but for the rest of us, war is always around the corner. Just ask Senile Joe.
