Remembering “The Forgotten War” and Forgotten Medals from WWII

The Korean War has unfortunately been nicknamed “the Forgotten War,” and Korean War veterans have often been forgotten with it. One way to remember the Korean War and the members of the armed forces who were in it is to purchase Korean War watches. Watches and other memorabilia from the Korean
War are a way to keep not-too-distant history alive.

WWII Veteran Recently Presented with Belated Medal of Honor

A 94-year old WWII Veteran was recently given long-overdue medals which included the Prisoner of War Medal, Bronze Star and the Combat Infantryman Badge. Although the awards were received several decades after D-Day, the recognition was better late than never.

Personal Validation

The Korean War was not a simple or nonviolent. The war lacked a number of variables that are almost unanimously valued throughout United States military history. There were no widely publicized wrongdoings within the United States armed forces. There were no lasting stories of victory over a fascist regime. And, the United States armed forces were not victorious. However, the individuals that served in the Korean War did a phenomenal job serving their country. Investing in Korean War watches can be a form of remembrance and personal validation for those who served in the “Forgotten War.”

Family Heirlooms

Many eras are defined by war, and the Korean War was no exception. The Korean War ended in 1953, and the roaring fifties took off. Family members and future generations should be able to remember stories from veterans that served the United States during that time. Many people have stories to tell, and sadly their stories can fade over the decades. Wartime memorabilia is a way to keep the origins of history alive.

Heirlooms that Live With Stories

People have phenomenal stories. Heirlooms such as Korean War watches are a way to show others that the war was never forgotten. Instead of forgetting about the Korean War, let its memory live in a number of ways. Display wartime memories by wearing watches, and pass cherished heirlooms with their stories on to future generations.

A Historical Look at Military Service Animals: Part Two

Up until the 20th century, the use of service animals in the military had proven to be very effective. However, during World War I, horses were very ineffective against the enemy due to the use of barbed wire fences and machine guns.

A Historical Look at Military Service Animals: Part One

To some, the use of animals in the military is controversial, to others the use of animals in the military is highly welcomed and advantageous. Either way, there is no denying the fact that many of these animals faced great danger while protecting and serving their country. They deserve to be recognized for their service and sacrifice as our military service men and women do. Although the use of animals in the military is unappealing to some, it is in some cases necessary in order to save human lives. Here is a look at how animals have served in the military throughout the years.

Military Therapy Dogs: A Military Vet’s Best Friend

Each year, hundreds of thousands of military service personnel return home from deployment, expecting to readjust to normal life. Some of these returning active and retired military workers are diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Deployment and Reintegration

Out of the hundreds of thousands of military personnel that were or are currently deployed overseas, at least half of them have families back home. Many of those families have children and pets. Although deployments are a fact of life for those who choose to serve in the military, deployments result in the separation of families for extended periods of time.

Deployments are single or repeated events that put an increasing amount pressure and stress on family structure and cohesion. Although deployments are hard on the military personnel who are sent to other areas of the world, the consequences are far-reaching and very unsettling on military families as well.

Remembering Military Families On Veterans Day

Veterans Day is an important day to every American. This is a special day set aside to remember the service of military personnel and the sacrifices that each one has made. These sacrifices benefit everyone and so it is everyone’s responsibility and patriotic duty to reflect on the importance of the work done by the veterans of today and yesterday. Veterans do not serve independently, however. They are supported by a host of family members back home.Remembering Military Families On Veterans Day
