KOREAN WAR MEMORIAL

The Korean War is often said to be our “Forgotten War”. Perhaps because it was a war that never officially ended. The hostilities concluded with a fragile armistice that left the two Koreas separated by a demilitarized zone, studded with mine fields and snarled in barbed wire.

The American veterans of the Korean War bravely answered a call that came not only from their own country but from the United Nations, travelling halfway around the world to thwart a naked act of Communist aggression.

These men, known as the Silent Generation, took part in the rescue of a small vulnerable country, then returned home, resuming their lives with little fanfare.

Step inside the story of one man’s acts of heroism in one of the most ferocious battles of the War. One story, among many, that should never be forgotten. Here is Jack Chapman’s story.
