Death Notices: Remembering Our Beloved Korean War Veterans

Members of the public may submit death notices about Korean War veterans (and other veterans who served in Korea after the cease fire) for this section of the Korean War Educator. There is no cost, no word limit, and it is never too late to post a death notice for Korean War veterans regardless of death date. Some veterans will search for decades to find information about their buddies, so even if your veteran died long ago, please submit a notice by contacting us.
