Korean War ignored

To the Editor:

I watched the national salute to veterans on TV Sunday night. I was very disappointed that the Korean War was barely mentioned.
They seem to go from WW II straight to Vietnam, ignoring the 1.6 million Americans who fought in Korea with a casualty list of 36,576 Americans.

I have noticed this is not the first time the Korean Conflict or so called "Police Action" has been ignored.

My late husband was in Korea stationed in Vijonbu for 15 months with the 51st Signal Battalion. They strung lines of communications to the peace talks going on in Panmunjom.

They also strung a cable under the Han River. My husband was very proud of his service to our country! He never got to see the Korean Monument in Washington D.C. However, our daughter Vicky had the privilege of seeing it a few years ago.
