Lest We Forget is honoring the veterans of what some people call the Forgotten War this weekend. Lest We Forget President Larry Wozniak tells WSJM News the Korean War will be the focus of a whole program of events.

“We had planned to do this last year because it was the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Korean conflict,” Wozniak said. “We were put on hold, of course, but we felt it was important enough to follow through with the same theme this year. Our Korean veterans are going pretty fast and so we wanted to make sure we honored those who are still here.”

Lest We Forget’s Lee Scherwitz says the Korean War may have been 70 years ago, but it still affects us today.

“The war is not over,” Scherwitz said. “We’ve been in South Korean now since 1950 protecting them from North Korea. So it’s still an issue. It’s right at the razor’s edge at the 39th Parallel to keep the North Koreans from invading the South.”

The Lest We Forget program started on Friday as a travelling replica of the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C. was set up. After the opening ceremony Saturday morning is a weekend of educational events and demonstrations. You can even watch a beach landing reenactment or take a helicopter ride. The full schedule is at LestWeForgetUSA.org.
