To honor those
who fought and died
to secure the freedom
of the People of South Korea
Forgotten Nevermore
by Dillon Staas
On looking back, recalling scenes of those sad days gone by
My heartbeat quickens, hands grow cold, a teardrop dims my eye.
So long ago, so far away, we traveled to that land
Where we were called in freedom’s name to lend a helping hand.
Atop this barren hill I see the scars of long ago
Where battles raged and cannons roared amid the falling snow;
Where boys at once were turned to men, and men to heroes brave.
For freedom’s sake they sacrificed; their very lives they gave.
Now let there be a marker raised to those who gave their all,
That we who look upon their graves shall evermore recall
Those brave young men who fought and died in that forgotten war,
From this day forth those men shall be forgotten nevermore.
Marker is on Main Street, on the right when traveling south.
