Soldiers from 1st Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, tour the Gyeongbok Palace in Seoul, South Korea July 21. The Palace, the historical seat of the Joseon Dynasty, dates back to the 14th Century. Pictured is the Throne Room of the Palace. The surrounding buildings were used for Korean Government Officials and visiting dignitaries. The main walkway leading up to the Throne Room was only allowed to be used by the Emperor himself while the small walkways on either side were only used by his most senior officers. Soldiers visited museums, palaces and other cultural and historic sites in Dongducheon and Seoul through a cultural program sponsored by the Dongducheon Office of US Base Development and International Exchange.
