April 27, 1952: Returning Korean War soldier Sgt. 1st Class Owen Marsh of North Hollywood leans out a bus window to kiss his wife, Evelyn. The bus was departing Los Angeles International Airport for Fort MacArthur in San Pedro, where Marsh would be discharged.

Marsh was one of 50 members of the U.S. Army 40th Division – California National Guard troops – to return home that day from Korea.

This photo, by former Los Angeles Times staff photographer Frank Q. Brown, was published on Page 2 the next morning alongside a story on the troops’ return.
