Dedicated to the men and women of South Carolina who served in the Korean War
25 June 1950 to 27 July 1953
82,000 Palmetto State 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. These South Carolinians, part of the silent generation are not fortotten! At the outset of 'The Cold War', they fought against expansive commitment to ideals envisioned in the charter of the United Nations.
On the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the war, the grateful citizens of South Carolina dedicate this memorial to those men and women and their families in remberance of the sacrifices they made.
