During the Korean War from 25 June 1950 to 27 July 1953, 82,000 South Carolina residents served in what has been called "The Forgotten War." Of that number, 26,000 served in the Far East, 1327 were wounded, and 472 perished. As part of the silent generation, these men and women fought at the outset of the Cold War against expansive communist regimes and expressed a deep commitment to the ideals envisioned in the charter of the United Nations, and South Carolina remembers the sacrifices they and their families made.
