During the Korean conflict from 1950 to 1953, remembered as the forgotten war, veterans fought in the mountains on Heartbreak Ridge and waded ashore at Inchon. They endured freezing winters and intense summer heat, at times were greatly outnumbered, and continued fighting, with many giving their lives for freedom, justice, and peace. Those who fought and died included Elmo F. Gore, Richard L. Heard, Kenneth E. Martin, James F. McGarity, Billie G. Melton, Rice M. Nichols, Harold G. Sellers, Eddie L. Shelton, Ralph R. Thurmond, Connie L. Tibbs, and Joe Frank Wood.
