- Unforgettable: The Korean War uses historical movies and personal photos combined with emotional remembrances to reveal the individual stories, the pride, the patriotism, the gallantry, the sacrifice and heartache behind “the Forgotten War.”
As a Vietnam vet myself, now 74 years old, I think I understand how these Korean Vets felt when they returned home. They received little or no respect for what they endured. God Bless these brave men.
Thank you, USMC
@starcraft5045 The US did not approve of it, but US Soldiers still fought and died for what _they_ deemed was right.
If you think they don't deserve respect, then get fucked.
Thank you for your insight and your service Sir. My father would be 90 in April if he were still with us. He served with the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team in Korea and made both combat jumps they made.
He went on to serve three tours of Vietnam.
Guess he got a double whammy.
God bless the Chinese and the koreans you mean. No love lost or respect to the others
@@sicsempertyrannis6541 no need to swear and no, no respect for the Yanks. Glad the Chinese stood up to the play ground bully
As a Korean, I just want to say that we wouldn't have been here without your guys' support. Thank you for everything you've done to fight for our country and even though it is considered to be a 'forgotten war,' I will never ever forget about this event. You guys are our heroes. God bless your soul.
I'm quite sure it is not forgotten in South Korea... (3 years late I know 🙂)
I have a friend who's dad was in Korea and Vietnam. The guy is still alive he is over 90. His dad never talked to him about it, and one night at a party he came around the corner and saw me and his dad talking, and he was telling me about his experiences. About how he got his 3 purple hearts, his bronze star, stuff that would make you blood curdle.
Later my friend asked me how I got him to talk. The answer was, I didn't get him to talk. I had just gotten home from the Army as a disabled veteran myself. My friends dad had decades of stuff he had to get off his chest, but never had anyone to tell it to. He just started talking to me, and I listened.

We all should NEVER forget what all theses men went through, from all nations that were there and give their best for us to know what freedom truly is. Bless you all those Hero's.
I am 90 Air force Korean war vet - I guided b29 and a26 bombers to target - We were good at it - In those days it was a job You did Your Job - God bless The Military
Thank you for your service!
Thankyou for Remembering@@archlich4489
Dropping bombs on things you couldn't even see, with many civilians killed. my great uncle was napalmed by a US plane fighting for the Commonwealth Forces and terribly burned, dying a year later without making it home (buried in UN Cemetery, Busan). A total waste of time unneccessary war- intervened in a civil war and then forced the reluctant Chinese to intervene
@yhho8473 well now you get to complain on the internet, but it sounds like you would rather be living in North Korea.
@@TheCombatCameraGuy 8473 - It is terrible what happened to Your Great Uncle - WAR IS HELL - Everyone Suffered ! However - The North Koreans "Invaded" South Korea - It was Not a "civil War" the United Nations Charter "Demanded" that the war Be Stopped - Communist China was allied with North Korea - The UN forces would NEVER Have Invaded China ! I am91 - Korean War Vet - China Was the Aggressor - We All Knew that -God Bless Your Uncle - -
My dad was there and he came back minus a leg and he took pictures!
Korean and Vietnam Veteran s are the Merit,Honor,and Selfless Sacrifice that defined one as an American. You are not Forgotten, and Valued as Hero's. God Bless you all.
I admire "ALL" our veterans , all wars , all branches ...............I very much enjoy hearing their stories and have tremendous respect for them !!!!!..................... Erik
It is not a forgotten war. My Father was drafted to it. I am here because he came home. I would have gone to Viet Nam but a bit too young. I went to to Cold War Europe and later to Iraq. I pass the "torch" to you all.
Fuck this torch. The USA is still number one source of terror in the world
I am Korean.
My family fled during the Korean War and settled in Busan and has been living well so far. After a long time, the Republic of Korea has developed a lot and suffered a lot in the war.
I'm helping countries that are missing.
All of these are the sacrifices of many countries that helped during the Korean War and thanks to people.
It's been a long time now, but many people still appreciate and remember your hard work during the Korean War.
Thank you very much for protecting the Republic of Korea with young blood during the Korean War.
I will never forget your sacrifice in the Korean War until I die.
Thank you.
You are the true heroes of Korea.
My dear dad whom has been long gone now for the last 31 years, died at a relatively young age, 59 years old. I will always treasure his few words on what he endured while deployed in Korea, spending a brutal winter under really hard conditions, enemy fire, lack of shelter, bad food or sometimes none at all, all of those hardships he and his thousands of comrades endured, fulfilling their duty, living up to their individual oaths to our Constitution. It was while he was under these conditions that his internal organs/digestive system was damaged, which ultimately, over time led to his untimely death due to colon cancer. He was USA, very proudly so, and as the folks in this great documentary all say, not a bragging kind of guy, who remained humble and respectful of his fellow vet's for the rest of his life.
I wouldn’t exactly call 60 years a short life.. that’s a senior citizen lol..
@@RecoveringAhole nothing to laugh about you'll never get to be his age.
I was 6years old in 1950 and followed the Korean war on TV ,radio and magazines and Newspapers it was always depressing news it seemed to be to me.I thank the Troops for their Sacrifice and Duty but I am ashamed that the civilian public even till today does not give the proper recognition to the male and female fighting military defending South Korea.Bless them all who took part in the conflict protecting us.P.S The new Memorial in Washington is not enough.I REMEMBER VERY WELL !
I love all these guys! My Dad was one of them. Thankyou. I will always tell my Dad's war stories to anyone who will listen.

Thank you for your service. The dead and wounded in just three years say a lot how hard fought the Korean War was. I was old enough to remember it wasn't a forgotten war at my home.
Today is the 70th Anniversary of the start of this war. To All The Soldiers and Civilians who died in this war, God Bless You All! We can never thank you enough and I hope a war like Korea never happens again.
My father is long past my dad was in marine fox company an was at the chosen reservoir . When I was a teen I ask my dad what he did in Korea an he told me it was none of my business an don't ever ask him again about Korea my father was a bad alcoholic an drunk till the day he died he had PTSD very bad he must had seen some very bad things he couldn't hold a job very Ling because of his drinking an was sometimes very mean at home to me an my brother an mother. My mother was very scared as us kids were of our dad when he was drunk when he wasn't drunk he was very quiet as a kid I didn't understand why he was like he was but as a marine myself I now realize the ghosts that being in combat that haunt an man . Me myself I'm proud of the things I did an there are things I'm not proud of I did but I came home alive but do have PTSD . I miss my dad an love him . To me it is very sad that all these men an woman are just forgotten an most have passed on now just very sad . The things I see in this country nowadays are unbelievable an not what these great men an woman served an died for I know it's not what I fought for .
❤Amazing Americans. Therefore Americans are very special to Koreans.
We remember their sacrifice for duty, honor and freedom.
I love our military!! Thank you guys so much for your sacrifice!
Thanks for your Service. From. Korea.
Dad served with the 25th Infantry Regiment 3rd Infantry Division. Got the Bronze Star with Valor for going on a rescue mission to get 11 men from his platoon that were captured by the Chinese Army.
Got frostbite on his hands and feet and had to go to the rear to recover.
Afterwards volunteered to be an MP. He only talked about it once after I got out of the Army in the 80s.
My mom was a Private who did out processing for the soldiers when they got back home. That was at Ft. Sam Houston in 1953. That’s when they met.
She just turned 90. We lost dad in 06 at the age of 79.
My father was a Korean war veteran he never spoke about it. We found some pictures of him when he was in Korea after he passed away 30 years ago
My grandpa was in the Korean War. He never talked about his time there. He never wanted to answer our questions about that war. He had nightmares every time he slept up until the day he died in his early 90s.
My father fought in Korea too. He also had nightmares til the day he died.
my great uncle was in the korean war in the us army when he was killed by a hand grenade in 1952 but two years later he died he was awarded the medal of honor posthumously in 1954.
My Uncle fought in the Korean War and I have done two tours in the Republic of Korea.

Excellent documentary on the Korean War, which was a highly intense and bitter war. Great respect to these worthy men.
These men sacrificed EVERYTHING. Not a one of them will ever be the same again. They’re all in my thoughts this Memorial Day 2023. Thank You gentlemen
God Bless!
As a kid in the 80s I grew up hating hippies for what they did. I always loved reading about ww2,Korea and nam. Always respected all of you. Wish I could have been around in the 50s to welcome you home.
I too hated hippies back in the 60s , especially losing an uncle in SouthVietnams Central Highlands , tail end of bloody TET , almost 2 wks. B-4 my 11th bday .
Seen friends brothers , and neighbors sons sent to SouthVietnam between 1965-1969 with the last one I knew returning home by late 1971! Palpable PSTD issues exuded them .
My dad was in the army he went to Korea he got Shrapnel in his back
We will never forget your sacrifice and help! We are so greateful to you.
Thank you from a Korean person. Humbled by your service and sacrifice.
As a daughter of a Korean War vet, you were worth it.
I would like to thank all vet's
Thank you for your service
I was incredibly fortunate and worked for years with Paul Vozakis in Evanston Wyoming. Paul was a tank driver in Korea who, when his first tour was up, enlisted with the Air Force and worked on F-86s. His patriotic drive then urged him to sign up again and he went on to work with SAC as a missile maintenance troop.... that’s what he called everybody.. old troop, little troop. We all walk on firmer foundations thanks to all who sacrificed.
learning about this war ...........can never learn enough ........all respect and honor to all who served there ...........
I honor all who served. 1950-1953.
Derek Kinne - a real hero. The battle on the Imjin was a epic struggle. As a former soldier all I can say his generation has more than my generation will ever have. The regimental museum for the Northumberland Fusiliers is in Alnwick Castle in England. Famous for being the backdrop for some of the Harry Potter movies. I only wish some of that cash generated from that movie could be spent to develop the museum to tell the generation living in my region of the true bravery of the soldiers who fought in Korea. Watching this document I have have nothing but respect for all that fought and struggled.
My Dad was on the frontline has a Marine 1st Division 3rd Battalion George Company. He fought bravely against the communists getting wounded in battle receiving a Purple Heart 💜 After battle he collected the bodies of his fellow soldiers because so many were killed only a few survived. The Koreans or Chinese would use children wrap explosives to their bodies and approach the soldiers asking for candy. So cruel. I thank all that serve for our country 🇺🇸
My grandpa served in Korea, thank you to each of these men and women.
I spent 6 years in Korea and learned much about the country while stationed at Camp Humphries. The ongoing situation will never be forgotten. God bless the troops who have served and will serve.
To honor the heroes of Korea I will never forget
I was 7 years old in 1950. I remember the Korean War when I heard my Dad say to Mom while reading the paper..."Well, it looks like we are into it again!!"...
God bless you dad I will never forget.
Would love a Ken Burns-style documentary on The Korean War. This specific documentary didn't really explain much about the geopolitics leading up to the war or how the war ended. Why were there two Koreas? Why the UN get involved? Was South Korea part of the UN or did a UN country have a stake in it like in Vietnam? When did we decide to leave Korea? Why was MacArthur fired? I understand a lot of this from other sources, but hope to find a good documentary that can fill in some of the history.
Well, to clarify some points (be ready for a long comment), South Korea and North Korea were formed after the peninsula was jointly seized from the Japanese by the U.S. and Soviet Union at the end of World War II. Yes, South Korea WAS a UN member (North Korea wasn't IIRC), and thus the UN had legitimate reason to defend them.
Furthermore, up until 1950, the spread of Communism had been unstoppable (it won virtually every civil war, uprising or conquest involved). Eastern Europe, China, the list is a lengthy one. Stalin realized though after the Berlin blockade in 1948 that it was unwise to pursue showdowns with America and Britain directly, so he and his fellow Commies apparently came up with a new (and rather brilliant) plan: Conquest By Regional Ally. Essentially, he would arm these fledgling Communist regimes, and they would fight the wars for him (Theoretically, this could be set up all over the world, dragging America, Britain or THEIR regional allies into endless warfare, without ever directly fighting the Soviet Union). China conquering Tibet is possibly one example of this strategy. What Stalin underestimated though was America's will to defend allies (he possibly thought we would try to step back a bit again after World War II). Thus, he gave Kim Il-Sung the green light to invade South Korea, after arming him similar to Mao's China. Much to their shock, the U.S. gave North Korea an ultimatum to withdraw and then launched a coalition intervention (the British Commonwealth and several other powers joined us). With the UN Security Council and General Secretary's approval, we attacked, and it was the CORRECT move as it showed we would not tolerate allies being invaded and it shattered the Communism invincibility myth (critical to stemming the Soviet ambitions). MacArthur was fired in 1951 NOT for wanting to use nukes after China intervened for NK (Truman actually agreed with him that it should be at least considered), but rather for freelancing on public statements, including provoking the Soviets. He said stuff like "China can't win, we'll beat them, they'll lose too unless the Soviets help them". Truman was FURIOUS, as U.S. forces were already taking a battering from the unexpected Chinese onslaught, and also knew Soviet intervention could mean nuclear war (his response to MacArthur was essentially "Would you shut the **** up before you get us all killed"). Besides, by this time, General Matthew Ridgway was essentially UN force commander in all but name and a few powers (MacArthur let him run things how he wanted). Ridgway was an absolutely PHENOMENAL leader, he totally turned morale around, adjusted strategy, and soon was literally destroying the Chinese in battle after battle (along with the few surviving North Korean divisions). He's hands down one of the greatest generals in American history. Korea became a stalemate just ABOVE the 38th Parallel because we feared the Soviets would promptly intervene if the Communists were again bulldozed off the peninsula (since they literally shared a border with NK). It was frustrating, but probably the best result we could hope for. After Stalin died in 1953, the Communists needed to regroup, and realized the war in Korea just wasn't worth it. Thus, we got the armistice and DMZ that summer. A brutal struggle, but one I feel was DEFINITELY justified.
While many Americans don’t specifically remember the Korean War, these soldiers should feel proud that South Korea still stands today independent of its totalitarian Northern neighbor. South Korea is one of our most reliable Allies and is one of the most prosperous countries on earth. The war wasn’t fought for “nothing” like say Afghanistan or even worse, Iraq. The war also was the first instance of the the US using containment against the Soviets, which many believe helped win the Cold War. Interestingly, this war led to Truman having extremely low approval ratings, but I feel the collapse of the USSR in 91 vindicates his policy.
Today South Korea is more like a colony of the USA… can the south say no to the boss?
Aussies are still tuff these days. Great Doco, my grandad was in this war never spoke a word about it.
I can confirm. Fought alongside your aussie soldiers in Afghanistan in the taliban ran south. Incredible soldiers, fair dinkum. What blew me away was how much we were alike. Different slang and different accents but we got along like two peas in a pod. Any time i get the chance to tell an Australian just how much I loved and respected their infantrymen I do. Be proud of your boys. Tough bastards.
My 90-year-old father severed in Korea and was part of the 23rd Inf.Reg. during the battle of Chipyong-ni the battle which took places 70 years ago this coming February 2021
2nd infantry division, very nice. Had a childhood buddy that was in 1st battalion 23rd infantry regiment. By a strange coincidence his unit replaced the exact area of operation my unit was covering in Afghanistan. They always had a good reputation
My stepfathers war ,thanks for this post John

My grandfather served in the Army as a Lieutenant from 52-53 in Korea and passed away in 2016. He was from Queens and was a very charismatic and gentle person. He was originally planning on becoming a Catholic priest, but ended up working with the VA as a social worker after the war. My mom told me he would never, ever speak about his time in Korea. My grandmother told my mom that the most she ever heard him say was that it was unimaginably cold, and that there was a point in time where he and his friends had to catch and eat rats to survive. He would never share details, but my grandmother told my mom that he would have night terrors about defending a specific bridge. I wish I had asked him about his time there when I was younger, but everyone in the family knew not to ask grandpa about his time in the army. My mother also told me that other students would bully him during WW2 since he was a 1st generation Italian immigrant (his family was from Naples). Not asking him about his experiences is one of my greatest regrets. I wish I could tell him how much I appreciate his service and his sacrifice.
No mention of the battle of the Kapyon Valley , where Canadians !Australians , NewZelanders defended a Valley that was the gateway to South Korea , This was known as the turning point of the war , where the three countries were outnumbered by thousands of Chinese and North Korean troops
Very good documentary, used this for differenciated work.

I am a Korean. I would like to express my deep gratitude and respect to the veterans of each country who protected the free Republic of Korea
You can never explain war to someone that's never been there it's not their fault it's just something you can't understand unless you been there.
Correct. That's why those warmongers should be sent to the front line.

My dad was n Korea radio sergeant front lines. He never really talked about the things he had to do to make it out alive. When the brought his medals to our house to habd to him. He chocked up for just a second caught his breath and told them to take those medals and shove them up their asses. And get off his porch. They did leave the medals on the step. And when he passed they were the one thing of few handed over to me. At this time I had no idea he told them that. Now when I get them out and stare into them I know exactly why he said what he did.. to them people that chilly morning. rip dad thank you most of all. For him what he did and had to do while over on that island. Was shamefull and a disgrace. To all humans. No medal will ever make it better for any1. Never be proud for what they tell you to do in war. Ask ureself is it worth it..because if they r to good to battle then you should be also.peace
I would like to give honor to a wonderful man, Paul Vozakis, a veteran during Korea and after. I had the good fortune to work with him closely for years, Paul was one of the kindest and most honorable people I have known. I watched him be very patient with people who have never known the meaning of service and whose vision of America centered solely on personal enrichment. Paul never did tell graphic stories of his experiences and he called everyone “Troop”. Paul was drafted from Evanston Wyoming where he worked at the Union Pacific yard as did his Greek immigrant father. He was a tank driver for the Army that served his enlistment and due to his love of flight and aptitude re-upped in the Air Force as a mechanic on f-80s then on f-86s. Again aptitude and sense of duty saw him sign on agin to service the first intercontinental ballistic missiles working for SAC until his retirement from service. When I worked with Paul it was at the wastewater treatment plant in Evanston where he continued his service to community until his retirement there.
I was assigned in South Korea in 1984 and 85 with an infantry unit first of the 17th got to see a lot of the countryside it's a beautiful looking country and was in has very nice people but it is a harsh environment but it is to Phoenix of the Orient cuz they have come back from very much atrocities in their country I was proud to be there and enjoyed the camaraderie of my fellow soldiers when I was there and the Korean people and the ROK Army second Infantry Division second to none Gourmet
My father is, well, was fuck that. Still is a Korean Vet. Many hold their story’s.
The cinnamon roll story was great. Great content.
God 🙏 bless you great grandpa never forget you
We won't forget what you all sacrificed for us thankyou everyone of you vets God bless you all I'm proud of yall
None of that was for us. It was all for profit (:
Thanks pops
My father was over there from 1952 to 1954. Army. 5th regimental combat team.
Poem titled "Are you still there."
Are you still there waiting - soldier?
Is the sound of wind comforting to you.
Is the mountains peaceful for resting?
An orchestra is coming there soon,
To help pass some of your time.
The music of a deep love can help
Wait for the orchestra.
An orchestra is coming.
It's a poem giving peace to soldiers
As well as me.
We want to the belly button of freedom without any conflicts.
Some are dead, others are still alive.
Hope flowers will bloom in every corner of devastated terra in Korea.
God bless those who ran towards Korea to help Korean people really.

22:34 The British George cross is equivalent to the US Distinguished Service Medal, not the Medal of Honor. The British Victoria cross is equivalent to the US Medal of Honor.
The George Cross is a noteworthy award, but the producer has confused it with the Victoria Cross in his comparison to the Medal of Honor
My dad was Army in Berlin, he could have been in Korea, however, he went to Berlin. Was there any colder, brutal retreat - Chosen in US History?
No.
God Bless every soldier that was left behind and made it.

Clay Blair's "The Forgotten War" is an excellent book on this subject
Another good book I would reccomend is T.R. Fehrenbach's "This Kind of War."
Thanx for your information about both books on the war in Korea .
We should watch this type of documentary on the both perpecstive
Great Doc and I appreciate the personal side of a war that did more for the freedom we enjoy now, had the communists won and it had not come to an armistice. Rip all those who gave their lives💐
Both the Korean and the subsequent Vietnam wars were the same on the American perspective, and they were more or less similar on the ground as well. Both of them were divided in the middle on a temporary agreements brokered by Americans, and the Americans were there to keep them divided. However, both Kim and Ho were fighting to liberate their countries from the imperialist.
Ho won Vietnam and the country is one peaceful Vietnam now. In Korea however, the war is far from over. and the hostility can ignite at any moment with potential use of nuclear arsenal.
This is the one murican think that I don't get. How did this war get you more freedom that you enjoy now???
@@TitusFFM To be honest, I don't get it either. Maybe they think if Korea was united under the communist flag, they will invaded the USA straightaway. But this is rubbish.
Even in Vietnam, they were saying if the Communist win the whole Southeast Asia will fall like a domino. But, it didn't.
@@nageyebelieday7158 not the whole Southeast Asia but the neighboring countries either were already or quickly did like Cambodia and Laos. In Cambodia it led to a genocide

Another thing to take from this and I think what people don't think about this is that the war is not technically over. Maybe that is why it is a "forgotten" war. One thing I can say, because I have been to this country myself and now hearing these vets stories, is that I got to see the country in 2007 decades after the armistice. The country was flourishing then like it is now and These old vets can be rest assured that their sacrifice was not in vain. This was not a cold war conflict that ended in failure and the republic of korea is still standing to this day. That is the difference between this and vietnam. American troops did not die in South Korea for nothing.
42:19 LOL Same thing happened to me. I got a letter from Selective Service addressed to me in Korea, complete with my rank PFC and my Army unit, telling me I would be in trouble if I didn't register for the draft.
How long did you have to serve?
@@rc59191 I volunteered for four years.
Just like the government 1 day late and 2 dollars short.
No one remembers that there were two forces allied to South Korea, one was the American command, and the other was the Australian command.
*”Pil Sung Sir”. In relative peacetime …it was in late 70s & early 80s while serving in the 2nd ID 4/7 Cav when we saluted we’d use those *words. Although loosely translated we’d term those words as “Peace Through Victory”.
Lest we forget…Please let’s always remember the dedication and sacrifices given to all from all those military and civilians that experienced the Korean War!
