Members of the Harry S. Truman Chapter stand in front of memorial (top)<br />
dedicated on June, 2000 at Ozark Memorial Park Cemetery here in<br />
Branson, MO.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Harry S Truman Chapter of the KWVA worked very hard<br />
the last three or four years to accomplish the erecting of the<br />
memorial, with a lot of support coming from a couple of theaters<br />
and several entertainers from the Branson area.<br />
We are very grateful for their support. Chapter members<br />
chose this date for the dedication, to coincide with the 50th<br />
anniversary of the start of the <strong>Korean</strong> <strong>War</strong>.<br />

Korea/Vietnam Monument at Wyandotte County Lake.<br />
Both the veterans of Korea and Vietnam are remembered at<br />
the entrance to Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas City, Kansas.<br />
Since there was no memorial to the <strong>Korean</strong> veterans when this<br />
was built it was decided that the memorial should be for both<br />
wars, not just Korea or just Vietnam, because the county had lost<br />
personnel in both conflicts.<br />
