Let us never forget their courage.
One brave soldier served in Korea, saw combat in brutal winter conditions, and was injured by shrapnel—losing a finger in the line of duty.
A U.S. Marine was drafted during college, serving two years as a control tower operator, contributing to vital air operations during the war.
An Air Force veteran enlisted after the war, but his 16+ years of service were shaped by the post-war era's demands and transitions.
Another Airman served overseas, including in Korea, gaining meaningful experiences that shaped his career and lifelong friendships.
A medic answered the call during both the Korean and Vietnam Wars, offering care and comfort to fellow service members in times of great need.
Two women proudly served during the Korean War era—one managing military supplies in England, and the other as a trailblazing female Air Force member who later pursued a creative and nurturing life.
An aircraft mechanic-maintained B-29 bombers during the Korean War and later took to the skies again in a successful aviation career.
Stitched with care and filled with gratitude, Quilts of Valor were presented to local Korean War veterans as a touching tribute to their service.
