"They don't call it the 'forgotten war' for nothing, nobody remembers Korea." Korean War Veteran Bill Williams, U.S.A.F.M
Tucson Remembers: The Korean War
Korea was the un-won war that never ended, no one even wanted to pronounce it a war: it was "The Korean Conflict," a "Police Action" and finally, "the Forgotten War." But no matter the name, it was still wounding, hurtful and fatal, killing tens of thousands U.S. soldiers and effecting thousands more lives at home.
Take a journey with Tucson residents as they talk about their memories of the war and of the Tucson area in the late 1940s and early 1950s as young men from Arizona and all over the country were being shipped off to defend South Korea against the advancing Red Army.
