Stop POW Torture
When the POW group and their families conceived
of this effort and determined that they would go forward, no one

to Iraq and gathering the evidence of the crimes committed, the
group would be fighting its own government in order to hold the
perpetrators of torture accountable. Included here are background
materials explaining how this set of circumstances has come to pass.

a place of remembrance for the people who served in this hard-fought war half
a world away. The Korean War Veterans Memorial honors those Americans who answered
the call, those who worked and fought under the trying of circumstances, and
those who gave their lives for the cause of freedom.

served in all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions and Marine parachute
units, transmitting messages by telephone and radio in their native language
-- a code that the Japanese never broke.
