Dennis J. Ottley

The author's memoir. This book
describes his involvement in Korea
during the Korean War and points out
the reasoning behind the conflict.

Over the years, the Korean War has
been considered "The Forgotten War" by
many. At one time, President Harry S.
Truman referred to it as a "Police
Action," but 5,720,000 Americans who
served in Korean have never forgotten
what it was about and that it was much
more than just a "Police Action." They
understand that it was an all-out war,
and one of the bloodiest in American
history. It involved over 20 countries
of the United Nations that joined with
the United States to save the South
Koreans from annihilation and the
tyranny of the communist countries,
such as Russia and North Korea.

On July 27, 1953, an armistice was
signed and today South Korea remains
as a free nation and one of the
strongest and wealthiest countries in
Asia. This book is to help Americans
understand what the war was all about
and describe one soldier's experience
and opinion of the conflict.

Dennis J Ottley was born on January
28, 1932 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He
lived in many different towns
throughout his childhood, but his
family finally settled in Evanston,
Wyoming. He quit high school at the
start of his senior year and joined
the 141st Tank Battalion of the
Wyoming National Guard. About the same
time he met a girl who he became very
serious about and married on July 26,
1950.

When the Korean War started, Dennis'
guard unit was activated in September
of 1950. In July 1951 Dennis was
selected for overseas duty and was
sent to Korea to help form a new tank
company. After serving almost ten
months in Korea as a tank gunner and
tank commander, he was discharged on
May 29, 1952.
