Korean War

[UltraQuiet]

I was remiss in my duties. Yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that halted the fighting in Korea and I did not start a thread to honor those who fought there. So . . .

To the Rev. G.A Pierson (aka bleep), a decorated Korean War veteran, and to all who fought in Korea, I say thank you. Your bravery, heroism, service to country and the world has not been "forgotten". You fought with honor, upholding the standard set by those who served before you and setting the example for those who have served after. You fought with valor in America's "forgotten war" but rest assured that many American's have not forgotten and we will continue to remind everyone of the debt we owe you and your brother's- in-arms. Well done.

Some of us prepare for the possibility of the next one, but by no means are the sacrifices of our veterans forgotten by any stretch of the imagination.
