In God We Trust
We want to tell you about the latest happenings for the Korean War Educator. Over the last several months Lynnita has researched and added dozens of military airplane crash fatalities on our Airplane Crashes pages. We need our readers' help on this, so if you have a computer and some spare time, we encourage you to visit the Airplane Crashes index and click on "Incomplete Listings Challenge." Maybe you can find what we can't. Meanwhile, history department volunteers are working in conjunction with Booth Library at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois, to continue the important work of documenting the memoirs of Korean War veterans collected over the years by Lynnita. In addition, the KWE's webmaster is working with AI to migrate the remainder of our existing Korean War memoirs from the old site to the new one. Every single day our efforts to recognize and honor Korean War veterans continue on with determination.
The new year 2025 started with happiness for the Korean War Educator when we learned that Ruth Ann Scott of West Virginia, a long-time supporter of the KWE, stopped at the office of our webmaster in North Carolina to give our website a $1,000 gift toward the migration of the old site onto the new one. As a result, many more KWE memoirs are being migrated over this January. We also received a $100 donation from Robert Lundquist of Illinois, who wrote: "That war started just before my life in the USMC. I missed the worst of it. I had a few friends who survived a night in their sleeping bags covered with snow to survive. The Korean troops were shooting anything that moved as they advanced past the dam. I watched a television program showing the enormous size of the Korean military as they saluted their "general", who is planning missiles that can reach the USA. These are atomic missiles. A scare? Yes." As a result of Robert's donation, two more USMC memoirs will be migrated to the new site this month. Thanks to both of these special donors!
