Only 5 years separates a Korean War vet from a WWII vet; the vast majority of WWII soldiers, marines, sailors, and especially pilots fought in Korea. Today an 80 year old man might be a Korean War veteran...and/or a WWII veteran. Vietnam vets would be in their late 50's by now. Many Vietnam War NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers/Sergeants) & OFFICERS in Vietnam had fought in WWII and/or Korea. The US commanders in Vietnam; GENs Harkins, Westmoreland, and Abrams all fought under GEN Patton during WWII (Westmoreland fought at the Hurtzgen Forest with the 9th ID in WWII).
A veteran is considered anyone that has served in the armed forces. Anyone that came back from Korea would have been a Veteran of the Korean War. Once one has received a discharge from the armed forces, they are a veteran.
1950 ~ 1953
There were Koreans to begin with for Korean War to begin. Without Koreans the war wouldn't happen right?
If a US serviceman served in Korea, or offshore on a US Navy vessel, or flew missions as a US airman in & during the Korean War...he's a Korean War vet. Any discharge paper will reflect those experiences.
Yes! That is why Korea is still standing strong and booming today! :D

The Korean War was the first LIMITED WAR fought in the ATOMIC AGE. Limited to the use of CONVENTIONAL Weapons only.
No, they are rumored to be related, but mostly because of their similar physical appearance and singing voice. His father was a strict Marine Corps veteran of World War II and the Korean War[6] who worked as a television repairman.
The Korean War was the FIRST "Hot" battle of the Cold War. The Cold War began in 1945, which was the dawn of the "Atomic Age."
No, the war ended in August of 1945. If the person stayed in the military during the 1950's it is possible for him to have been a Korean War Vet.
Your husband is not a war veteran. He was an animal veterinarian,
well it varied from the pooped on veteran and the other ones but around a fart in a shoe
Yes! That is why Korea is still standing strong and booming today! :D
Joseph Stalin supported the North Korean attack in South Korea. Without his support there would have been no Korean War, as we know it today. The Korean War was a US-Soviet War fought by proxy. When Stalin died in 1953, the Korean War ended (1953).
