Memories from the Korean War

Description

 People may refer to the United States involvement in the Korean War as the "Forgotten War", but it is not forgotten!  Lake Bluff resident Fred Herlocker and Sam Badger will come together to share stories from their service during the Korea War. Mr. Herlocker (an US Army MP) served as a Compound Commander in a POW camp before assignment in Seoul. Mr. Badger, a decorated US Marine Corps Captain, led a rifle platoon in combat against the Chinese. Join the talk to honor these men who defended a country and its people they never knew...but quickly learned to respect.
