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.
Several donations have come in to the Korean War Educator in memory and honor of Perry John Dickey. Perry, whose memoir is located on the Korean War Educator, was a Marine Corps veteran of the Korean War. Sadly, he died on April 27, 2025. The donations include: $500 from Mary and Ellen Dickey of South Dakota; Mary Jo Schmitz of Nebraska ($50.00); David and Jean Hart of Oklahoma ($50.00); Gregory and Nancy Topil of Nebraska ($100.00); and Dorothy and Mark McManaman of Nebraska ($50.00). The KWE thanks all of them for their generosity.
