The forgotten war

In memory of
all Korean War veterans They told us, “We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.” So we fought in the mountains on Heartbreak Ridge and waded ashore at Inchon.

We froze in the winter and baked in the summer sun.

At times, we were greatly outnumbered, but we still fought on and many of us gave our lives for Freedom … for Justice … and for Peace.

In memory of those who
fought and died
