Having just experienced the services of one of our own, we are mindful of the respect due those of our military who, through the founding of our country to today, have given their lives to provide us the opportunity to live in the greatest nation ever founded... and to remind us of the privileges we enjoy and are obligated to respect, adhere to preserve for all of our descendents.

We mentioned in the April edition of the Warrior Newsletter that a new Wall of Remembrance is being added to the National Korean War Memorial on the Mall in Washington, D.C. This new Wall will contain the names of all American Military personnel who fought in the War and were either Killed or Wounded or were Missing in Action during the Korean War.

We have now learned that there will be a fourth section of the Wall, to honor those who served in the War, besides the troops mentioned above.
