Go To Chapter One
Return To Heartbreak Ridge
is the story of a sons' search for his fathers' past, and a series of letters received from Korean War Veteran SFC Seymour "Hoppy" Harris, a gunner with Company H, 23d Infantry Regiment, 1951. The story of a war in
Korea begins at Chip-yong-ni, February 13, 1951, and ends at Heartbreak Ridge in October, 1951. But the end of war for Harris is only the beginning of a permanent nightmare of war. The story explores a forgotten war.

Photos taken by Hal Barker, in Korea, Hawaii, and the Dedication of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. "I gave up photography in 1970, and almost never touched a camera until I went to South Korea in 1989." "The trip in 1989 was quite an experience. A real adventure in the true sense." "It was
the first time I had any serious interest in taking photographs again ." |
