KOREAN WAR HAS NEVER BEEN OVER - We Honor Those Who Served

(07/26/2003)

By Bob Weaver The Korean War has never been declared over. Fifty years later it teeters on a truce agreement, with shots still being fired across the truce line. It has been called the forgotten war, sandwiched between World War II and the Vietnam War. It was a war from which we have learned few lessons. Not unlike wars since, it was started by a political error. Not unlike wars since, it dwells painfully in the minds of soldiers who fought there, experiencing the political frustrations that prevented "winning." It was a war of "grunts," mired deep in a hostile environment. Not unlike wars since, it became a "saving face" situation for American politicians. It was a war that Calhoun men went off to fight, and five never came back. Thanks to Norma Knotts Shaffer's Calhoun History and Genealogy we honor them.
