| July 27th, 1953 The stage was set for what we have come to call the post-truce DMZ era. It would take many years for the Korean people who lived south of the “tape” to begin the recovery. What a dramatic recovery that has been. Post Truce Korea (DMZ Era) We have mentioned in previous newsletters that a huge section of our website and social media sites are filled with interactions with men and women who served after the transition to a peace-keeping role. Inquiries from researchers, family, friends, and, active-duty military keep us busy. Book Update: Korean War Project Remembrance 1950-1953We would like to thank everyone who has purchased our self-published book on all US Korean War Deaths. The book sold out.Several of our volunteers continue to add commentary to the Remembrance section for family information. Information from obituaries allows addition of family members to more fully complete a Remembrance. We are now adding next of kin for all 37,000 names, based upon original research over decades. Photos of the fallen continue to be provided and placed online in the Remembrance section. The obituary shown below, of PFC William Murdock Love, is an example of what we find or are sent.  Donor / Member Update: This time last year our nonprofit was in dire straits. The odds of having to shutdown our online operation was high.
