NOTE: Take note that some of these oral history stories may not be entirely accurate. These stories are told from the point of the veteran. Some veterans will remember places and events differnetly. These oral accounts of life during the Korean War will vary. That does not mean that any veteran is not telling the truth. The Korean War was a long time ago. I give all veterans the benefit of the doubt.
