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.
We are happy to report that yet another donation towards our effort to migrate the old KWE website onto the new one just arrived. Our long-time supporter, Sheila Kronenberger of Illinois, gifted $500 to the KWE. She also sent us dozens and dozens of obituaries of Korean War veterans for posting on our Death Notices page. All of them have now been added to our site. After discussing it with her, we have decided to use her gift to migrate the more complicated Topics page "Stateside Tragedies" over to the new site. These tragedies include training accidents, airplane accidents, train crashes, and much, much more. All of them took the lives of Korean War veterans who were training for duties all around the world, already on duty stateside, and those going to and coming from Korea. The Korean War was not just about lost lives in the Korean combat zone. The Korean War Educator cherishes the life of each and every veteran that lost his or her life while serving their country during the Korean War timeframe. Thank you and God Bless You, Sheila!
