Wall Of Remembrance

There is a national effort afoot to raise funds to have the names of the more than 37,000 Americans Killed-in-Action (KIA) in the Korean War engraved in a Wall of Remembrance in Washington, D.C.

Of these, South Carolina had 551. Beaufort had nine, one of which was awarded the Silver Star.

I am a life member of the Korean War Veterans Association (KWVA), which is sponsoring this project. I was part of a group that worked to get the legislation enacted in 2016 to erect the Wall of Remembrance.

The cost to have South Carolina’s 551 KIA names engraved on the wall is $200,000, and that is our goal. We have raised more than $98,000 thus far.

We are asking each county to raise the money for their KIA’s. My appeal is for the residents of Beaufort County to contribute $3,150 to have the names of their nine KIA’s engraved on the Wall.

It is way past time we honored the heroes that sacrificed their lives in that long ago and “Forgotten War."

Please make checks payable to Korean War Veterans Association, Foothills Chapter #301. In the “For” area write “WOR.” Mail to: KWVA Foothills Chapter #301, FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE, P.O. Box 6903, Greenville, SC 29606-6903.
