The Graybeards - KWVA - Korean War Veterans Association

“Battle of the Bulge”. Fortunately, there are those who never forget!
(Thank you Ron Ross for photos and letter. I am shocked to learn
that one of the statues is a veteran from WWII. I only hope he was
in Korea also. I understand Mr. Gaylord’s feelings but we have
many heroic Korean War Veterans that deserved to be one of the
statues.)

Mr. Gaylord sent to Ronald C. Ross.
New York Remembers
After many months of planning we finally completed our
Korean War Veterans Memorial Wall at Cadman Plaza. 341
Brooklyn men etched in stone. We had our dedication on
November 9, 2003. Every member participated and with the
leadership of past Commander Don Feldman and Ed Cush we
succeeded in our mission. Borough President Marty Markowitz
joined Fort Hamilton Army Base Commander Col. Kewyn
Williams and area veterans to unveil the Korean War Memorial
Plaza during a poignant salute, coinciding with Veteran’s Day.
The five photos show members named and unnamed at dedication
and the memorial.
(Thank you Stanley Biesky for photos and letter.)
