Korean War POW Norman S. Hale shares his experience as a Prisoner of War

[@a4skyraider]

What a true hero. Thank you for what you did Sir. Very few men could have survived the horrible ordeal you endured.

My dad was also captured by the Chinese and spent 33 months in a POW camp. He too only got 1 meal a day-parched corn. He survived and was part of the prisoner exchange. The Korean War Memorial brings me to my knees. Those men are heroes and paid the price for freedom!

My dad at 83 years old, he is the most patriotic person I know

The Korean War Memorial in D.C. is very moving, especially at night. It is very eerie when it is illuminated, there, in the shadows of the Lincoln Memorial. The Jefferson Memorial is the most beautiful, and Lincoln's the most impressive, while Washington's is the most massive. Still, the Korean tribute is the most emotional. It is as if the soldiers are lost, emerging from the plants like ghosts. It is a fitting tribute to our fighting men and women, who did their best in the face of terrible circumstances. The World War II Memorial could have taken a lesson from this one as I believe it is a cold, sterile and unmoving edifice, not at all fitting for our Second World War veterans.

well its america more and more people become liberal and PC and tell this men who fuaght so hard to come home to kill their selves when really there fighting to stay alive and forget the horrors of war and lost brothers they tried to protect america is a sad place in the eyes of our vets and we shouldn't let it happen but we do

[@xnrpolur5410]

My pap was in the Vietnam war and his brother got captured in the Korean War but the Koreans killed him there

[@offthebeatenpath3447]

It wasn't America you fought for it was South Korea.

[@VashtheStampede007]

For American influence in Asia. South Korean government was set up by the US

[@gambaridup]

At that time the US believed they tried to stop Communist aggression - in Asia - the so called Domino theory

When I lived in Glenville, GA my mother befriended a couple last name Dowdy. He was a POW in Korea. They chopped off his left ring finger to get his gold wedding ring. In the camps they raped starving soldiers in front of other soldiers. To demoralize them, some of them just lost the will to live. Macarthur was correct when he said we should have dropped nuclear weapons on China. They don't tell all what the NK's did in the POW's accounts. They are horrific sadistic people.
