Vintage photos of the Korean Conflict - a glimpse into its human experience.
The Korean Conflict, also known as the Korean War, was a conflict between North Korea, which was supported by the Soviet Union and China, and South Korea, which was supported by the United States and other United Nations countries. The conflict began on June 25, 1950, when North Korea invaded South Korea.
The war had a significant impact on the Korean Peninsula and the world, resulting in the loss of approximately 2.5 million lives and leading to the division of Korea into North and South. The fighting ended on July 27, 1953, with the signing of the Armistice Agreement, which established a demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. The conflict was significant because it marked the first time that the United Nations intervened militarily to prevent aggression by one nation against another.

Honoring Those Who Paid The Ultimate Cost On Memorial Day
In memory of those who paid the ultimate price to preserve and protect the United States of America: Memorial Day began as "Decoration Day," and was established in 1868 to memorialize those that had lost their lives in the United States Civil War. The name was changed to Memorial Day and now we honor all of those killed in military action. While many celebrate Memorial Day with barbecues and picnics, let's remember to keep at front of mind those who have kept us safe and free. These images from the Civil War through the Vietnam War show just a few of those killed in action. Take a moment to honor your military heroes by sharing their stories to show the world that they are still remembered.

Korean War 1950-53
Many of our fathers and grandfathers fought in Korea - the war with no beginning or end. Although called the Korean War by many, Congress never declared an act of war so it is still technically the "Korean Conflict". And since no peace treaty was signed, it has never really ended. American troops are still stationed in Korea. These are some of the men who fought, played, and were killed, in the conflict that began in 1950.
