Mine is a Korean War POW - Bob - will not state last name for privacy. In 2008 Bob passed away from Cancer. To this day I honor Bob at the cemetary where he was buried. I have many objects from Bob too. A marine that served his country became a Korean War POW developed his own business sold the business and the business is till thriving today. May father served in Korea too. He survived came back to this country and than served as a missionary in the Middle East for many years. The Greatest generation was the young men whom served in WWII and also the Korean War.

There were a lot of brave men who fought in terrible action.

They get fewer daily. Most of the survivors are 90+.

At 19 my father was packing an M1 pursing Fascists across Germany & Belgium. He ended the war in CZ.
