A new film — “Devotion” — about the Korean conflict will open Thanksgiving Day.
Seventy years ago, U.S. troops were engaged in the Korean conflict. It has been called the forgotten war but is making headlines lately.Last Veterans Day, the first Korean War Memorial that lists the names of more than 36,000 U.S. military members killed in the war was unveiled in Fullerton. The names are on five large, black granite stars, each listing 7,500 service members who died.
Orange County resident Joe Pak was the inspiration for the newly dedicated memorial that took a dozen years to become reality. After Brown was shot down by enemy fire, his wingman Thomas Hudner crashed his own plane in an attempt to rescue his friend. Hudner was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir on Dec. 4, 1950.The U.S. Navy named a ship in honor of Lt. Jesse L. Brown. It was commissioned in 1973 and decommissioned in 1994.and the Korean War Veterans Memorial Foundation are rehabilitating the 25-year-old memorial and started construction on the Wall of Remembrance.
