In comparison to the WWII and Vietnam War vets these men who fought bitter
cold and humid heat in Korea in the early 1950s have received very little
recognition from the US public, and their health problems, etc, have been
very little marked by the US government.  My dad said he saw more suffering
in his two years in Korea than in all the years he served in WWII.  Like the
Vietnam War years later, this was a guerilla war the US was ill-prepared to
fight.
