More than 37,000 young American soldiers came to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met. And so that is why the Korean War must never be a forgotten war.
The very first chairman of the Korea Society, General Van Fleet, lost his son in -- (inaudible) -- used to be a B-26 bomber pilot who died while in battle to defend Korea. Among those who took part in the Korea War, 142 of them were sons of active American generals.
And out of these 142, 35 of them were either killed or wounded in battle.
These brave soldiers defended freedom and liberty in Korea.
And following in their footsteps, today there are more than 27,500 American men and women in uniform serving in the Republic of Korea, helping us defend our freedom and ensure our security. Many of them are doing what their grandfathers and fathers did by serving in Korea.
