Korean War Project Lives!!
November 11, 2007
We recently closed most of the Korean War Project. With the support
of our Members and Sponsors, we have been able to reopen. But we are not
out of the woods. We need your continued help.
By late October 2006, financial support for the Korean War Project had virtually stopped.
Out of 8000 visitors per day, less that 1 visitor donated $10. Our key past supporters
were bearing the burden of keeping the Korean War Project online.
Out of 8000 distinct visitors per day, less that 1 visitor donated $10.
In late October, we developed Letters To The Lost, and received hundreds of responses.
An Associated
Press story ran in hundreds of newspapers, television stations, and talk radio shows on three continents. But even with the publicity, our donations were
not substantially increased.
Major veterans groups constantly ask for help but can't seem to understand how we keep the Korean War Project going.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars, DAV, American Legion, and the Korean War Veterans Association
constantly ask for help but can't afford to help us.
Congress, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Air Force, Army, Marines, and Navy constantly ask us for help, but we don't qualify for their help.
The cost to run the Korean War Project far exceeds income and it is simply not possible to continue.
Unless there is a miracle, we can't do this anymore.
