By the end of the Korean War on July 27, 1953, some 6.8 million Americans had traveled to Asia for the war effort; 33,686 died, and 103,284 were wounded. Although the Korean conflict ignited just five years after World War II, South Dakotans answered the call. An estimated 26,000 South Dakotans traveled far from home to fight, and 170 died in that effort.
The program uses interviews, veterans’ photographs, archival footage of the war, and background on the conflict to bring the stories to life. Includes interviews with veterans across the state.
