THE KOREAN WAR VETERANS MEMORIAL
June 25, 1950 the 38th Parallel marked the beginning of a war
that was to be like no other. Many years have passed since the
end of the Chosin Reservoir Campaign in North Korea. The American
public has all but forgotten the violence and valor that took
place there at the fighting man's level. The fiftieth anniversary
of the Korean War gives both the armed forces and the nation
an opportunity to honor those veterans who served in that bitter
war. The battle continues along the present demilitarized zone.
The location of this line largely above the 38th Parallel is
historic evidence that in Korea, aggression did not pay. In
Korea the American soldier with his Korean and United Nations
allies fought with bravery and skill against his communist foes.
