The Where, When, and Why of the Korean War
Tell America
2 – NORTHWEST ALABAMA II
We completed this year’s Tell
America program with presentations
at six schools. In total, over
120 students learned about the
Korean War.
We opened each 45-minute
program with a “where,” “when,”
and “why” of the war. Then, a
chapter member shared his experiences.
We distributed copies of
a pamphlet, “The Korean War and
its Historical Impact,” which was
furnished by Tell America Director
Larry Kinard, so each student
could have a reference.
The all-day sessions were long
and tiring, but worthwhile—
especially when students walked
by and said, “Thank you.”
