Me either, it’s amazing how much happened during the Cold War and how little we know of it.

People say it wasn’t a “war”, yet servicemembers continued to die during that period. Lots of them.

I was unaware of this, though I keep in my memory the crew of the EC-121 shot down by the North Koreans, Duane Hodges (USS Pueblo), and hundreds of others killed or injured in various encounters with communist forces.

I lived in Japan as a dependent (Yokosuka) at the time, and my dad was a friend of Commander Bucher. He was also the Security and communications officer for the base, and I don’t think he came home for two weeks while the Pueblo Incident unfolded.
