He was 'detained' as committing 'war crimes' rather than a POW and was the last American released by the Koreans.Becky G in SChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764505504296264247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26538443.post-29117169079268075372019-09-02T23:18:38.053-06:002019-09-02T23:18:38.053-06:00The Korean War memorial is my favorite because it&...The Korean War memorial is my favorite because it's "right there" with you.

Too bad about the cats, but I am glad you were able to work with the fabric and I know the man will be so happy to have this memory of his wife. That is special of you to do that for him.<br /><br />The Korean War Memorial at night was amazing! My sister and I went to it last summer.

A 1/4 size replica comes to town every couple of years and is also as moving, all those lost.

My brother and his wife had been stationed there for a bit and acted as my guides. Great trip. <br />Saw all the war memorials during the week I was there and was amazed at how different and unique each one was and what it said about the war they represented and the times they where built.

The Vietnam wall is the reminder to my age group - all the men lost and all the men who could have had names there but were spared. Thanks for the memories of all we have lost and mean so much to us and our country.
