Fought on a small stage, the Korean War had enormous implications. The Korean peninsula is less than twice the size of the State of Wisconsn and yet it was the site of a war that marked global and personal upheaval. Global, since it was the first armed conflict of the Cold War. Personal, since it shattered the Wisconsin families who sent loved ones to fight the spread of communism in a three-year engagement filled with injury and loss.

These portraits are a call to take a moment to pause to remember and to commemorate the sacrifice of those who played a role in what has been called the Forgotten War.
