Korean War 1950-1953
Why have they forgotten?
Will someone let me know,
A war fought through summers,
and through the winter's snows.

We were but young Americans
sent off to fight that war.
After it had ended,
you heard of us no more.

We were proud to serve our country
In that far off land,
Why has our nation forgotten,
We shall never understand.

In the center of the marker is a map of Korea
