That is so awesome. My father, Sgt. Alfred Herbert Knippa served in the Korean War, (and it was a war, not a police action), from 1951-53. He was the company clerk of an engineer-aviation brigade stationed in Tae-Gue, South Korea. Dad was awesome! I have a chalenge coin from that war that I will post ASAP.
I was wrong. We were never at war with North Korea. We were part of the U.N. Police movement with forty other country's. A cease fire was declared with them and the U.N. not us there was no declaration of war. Thanks!!
I just recalled something important, especially for you Y.N.'' Technically we, the USA, are still at war with North Korea. We never signed a peace treaty!!!!
Great commemorative. I feel it is an ignored war. An awful lot of people fought and died there. It wasn't like M*A*S*H. Anybody ever hear about it? Almost as bad as Vietnam. Maybe as bad!! Thanks!!
