Letter: Korean veterans don’t get due

Tuesday, May 23, 2000 | 9:49 a.m.

Korea was some of the hardest fighting in U.S. military history, with over 54,000 casualties in three years of fighting, compared to Vietnam's 10 years' high count.

As this letter is being written there are some 12,000 men still unaccounted for in Korea, the "Forgotten War."

The many thousands of Korean vets are not looking for parades and bands; we simply would like our country and people to recognize the privations we faced, and the sacrifices we made for America.
