Top lawmakers are pressing the Department of Defense to correct more than 1,000 reported misspellings and other mistakes on the Wall of Remembrance that was recently added to the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington.
Researchers who pored over the names said that, in addition to spelling problems, some persons were not involved in the 1950-1953 conflict, while others who should have been included were left off the wall.
The memorial was dedicated in 1995, but the wall was unveiled last year to list the names of 36,000 Americans who died in the conflict. For example, the name of helicopter pilot John Koelsch — who was shot down during a rescue mission and died in captivity, earning him a posthumous Medal of Honor — is not spelled correctly, according to a New York Times story in January that detailed the errors.
