Working Together

Some real understanding of the activities of our allies in the prolonged war in South Korea are just now coming to light.



While everyone should be aware that the Korean War was fought under the flag of the United Nations, in reality what that means is that twenty-seven nations worked together to put an army, a navy, marines, and air force personnel into the fight to maintain the sovereignty of South Korea.



That contribution ranged from small nations providing produce, to more involved nations sending large fighting units. The story pretty well remains untold in this country. To see some of the expanding information check out:
