INITIAL ARTICLE ON WALTON WALKER

I wrote the initial article, basing it on my readings about the Korean War, including but not limited to the references listed at the bottom of the article page. Not being versed in the computer embellishments to make it more "reader friendly," such as section headings, hyperlinks, etc., I realize it may appear a bit drab and old-fashioned. I hope to return to it, in the not too distant future, to "dress it up" and make it more...modern.

However, I welcome any discussion or debate from anyone about Walker or the Korean War. The men from all sides, and the civilian victims, from both North and South Korea, deserve to be remembered, and commemerated. As the title of Clay Blair's fine history(one of my references) suggests, what happened in Korea between 1950 and 1953 has largely been forgotten, if not in the Koreas, certainly in the United States and the rest of the world.

Let us try and correct that situation here and in other places.
