In Memory of All Korean War Veterans
From the slopes of Heartbreak Ridge to the shores at Inchon ... from the deepest of the cold at the Chosin Reservoir to the heat of the trenches on Pork Chop Hill ... our nation's finest fought to save a country from communism and many gave their all ... many gave their lives ... they fought for freedom ... they fought for justice ... they fought for peace.
Often called the Forgotten War but those who fought it will never forget or be forgotten ... As Gen. Douglas MacArthur noted in his farewell speech to Congress, 'Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.'
Cpl. Otto Lowrance, U.S.M.C.
