My father was one of those adoptees, and our “Grandpa” (who was in the Army and stationed in Korea at the time) helped him in more ways than I can count. My dad got to raise a family in the United States, secure a government job for over 30 years, and became completely fluent in English… all that would not have been possible if not for our Grandpa B, who is still in our lives.

GI, Very good of you to share about the humanitarian side of conflict. War really brings out the worst and yet sometimes the best in humanity. In this case a positive action by a person makes a big difference to many. Regarding Chaplains in the Korean War, consider Chaplain Father Emil J. Kapaun, U.S. Army, taken POW in November 1950, who lasted six months in harsh conditions but in that time touched the lives of many. He is definitely a hero of the Korean War.
