Thank You President Trump
Thank you President Trump for requesting that our American Korean War Veterans, missing in action in the Korean War, be brought home to the USA for burial. Many are buried in North Korea in unmarked graves, many merely dust from the bombs, but we will never forget them. We will remember the close to 8000, by name, by unit, they served with. This 4th-of-July, below our American flags in our patriotic parades, let us also carry the POW/MIA flag as a honor to our Korean War Veterans and Veterans of all wars still missing. We honor you and we do not forget you, Veterans!

"Unfortunately our chaplain was killed in that area about that time. We didn't see it, but we all grieved for him because he was a real man of God and a real soldier's chaplain. He was my Episcopalian chaplain. He stood for Christ and right conduct, setting a fine example for the young soldiers. He was highly respected because he was a true and faithful Christian." (p 291, David Pressey).
"Don't you forget that you're the 1st Marines! Not all of the Communists in hell can overrun you!" (Col Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, rallying his regiment in the attack from the Chosin Reservoir, 1950 "Semper Fi" The History of the U.S.Marines 2005).
