To the veterans, the Korean War was anything but the "Forgotten War." The passion of their memories comes through in this two-part program. The Wisconsin Korean War Stories documentary remembers and commemorates the service people who went to a place halfway around the world — a country only twice the size of Wisconsin — to engage in hot battles of the Cold War. The Wisconsin Korean War Stories project is a partnership of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, the Wisconsin Historical Society and Wisconsin Public Television. This project includes the companion book Wisconsin Korean War Stories.

Sometimes called the Forgotten War, the Korean War wears a number of curious monikers; North Korea calls it the Fatherland Liberation War, in South Korea, it's called Six-Two-Five, after the day it started, and China's duplicitous name for the conflict is the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. It is an event known to most of us only from episodes of M*A*S*H. Though it lasted for three years - from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953- it received little media attention in the United States. The "war" formally began when 75,000 North Korean soldiers poured across the border between the Soviet-backed North Korea and the pro-Western South Korea seeking land and resources. Within a month, American troops were on the ground to defend South Korea. The United States jumped in because Korea was a part of the Japanese empire, and after World War II it fell to the Americans and the Soviets to decide how to handle Japanese colonies. Also, the spread of Communism by the Russians was a real threat. Initially described by President Harry S. Truman as a "police action", the Korean War was an undeclared military action, conducted under the auspices of the United Nations, although the U.S. provided most of the fire power.Fighting was brutal, but after some early back-and-forth land gains across the 38th parallel, progress stalled. Little was gained on either side. Casualties were dreadful. Peace talks began in July 1951 at Panmunjom. Both sides were willing to accept a ceasefire, but they couldn't agree on what to do with POWs. It took two miserable years to craft an agreement, finally signed on July 27, 1953. The treaty allowed the POWs to stay where they liked; drew a new boundary near the 38th parallel; and created a 2-mile-wide "demilitarized zone- DMZ" that still exists today.Sheboygan County, Wisconsin lost two dozen young men in the Korean War. A number are still missing. The Unforgotten is a way to memorialize the sons of Sheboygan County who served and suffered.

A companion book to the documentary produced by Wisconsin Public Television, Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories showcases 40 first-person stories from those who fought in America's longest war. From barely-legal sons of Wisconsin to seasoned soldiers, the men and women in these pages make up a diverse collection of voices: an army chaplain who led services at Khe Sanh but never picked up a weapon; identical twin brothers who discover they are stationed at the same South Vietnam base; a Hmong refugee who fought the Secret War at age 12 in the jungles of Laos and later moved to Milwaukee; two prisoners of war whose years in captivity total almost 14; a Medal of Honor recipient; and dozens more. The stories in these pages expand beyond the borders of the war to include personal accounts of the events leading up to it, as well as the experiences of veterans as they return home to civilian life at the height of antiwar protest. Supported by original maps, photographs from the veterans' own collections, historical chapter introductions, biographies, and a comprehensive "honor roll" of Wisconsin-born soldiers who died or remain missing, Wisconsin Vietnam War Stories is an unforgettable collection and lasting tribute to our veterans.

Drafted into the Army upon graduation from Pomona College in June, 1950, Donald W. Bray was plunged into the Korean War. Killing was not in his nature. His incredible experience as a soldier resonates with that of the millions of Americans swept into international conflicts. Assigned to an African-American unit, his involvement in the desegregation of the Army offers an insiders view of that process. He reflects on his understanding of life, death, and war. He regains a measure of mental balance living on the Spanish island of Ibiza, working with street kids from New York, doing research in Mexico and Chile for advanced degrees, and teaching in the first Peace Corps program at Notre Dame.
