Fort Worth Star-Telegram, July 27th, 1953
The War Ends in a Cease Fire which becomes a shaky Truce/Armistice.
The bold text under the headline of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram article warns the reader that difficult times are ahead. Our forces would be required to be on high alert for an indeterminate period.
Changes in force posture, creation of special units, and rotation out of the "war zone" began. The logistics of winding down a combat posture were complex.
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.
Definition: An armistice is a military agreement suspending active hostilities between the belligerents. It does not terminate the state of war existing between the belligerents.
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 1950-1953
We would like to thank everyone who has purchased our self-published book on all US Korean War Deaths. The book sold out.
The KCCF1 Korean War Project Online Database Update:
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.
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.
