Helping America and the
World To Remember
"The Forgotten War"

The Korean War has never ended and is a factor in contemporary American policy. Today, there are 29,982 American troops in Korea. Most are combat support or combat service troops. The causes of the Korean War still exist and still motivate behavior.

The Korean War was too significant to neglect, too momentous to ignore, too pivotal to be disregarded, and far too costly to be forgotten. Few people realize the significance of the Korean War in U.S. history. There are many lessons to be drawn from this momentous event.

In the mid-1980s, Dr. Paul M. Edwards, a Korean War veteran, began to write about the war and found there were few reliable sources. He began collecting materials, including his letters home during the war to his wife Carolynn. In 1987 he established the Center for the Study of the Korean War. The Korean War history is being saved by this collection of primary source documents and artifacts. The Korean War Veterans are now at least 70 years old and are dying at the rate of over 1,000 per month. Acquisition of these materials is crucial over the next several years.

The Center is dedicated to preserving the Legacy of Korean War Veterans.
