The American Battle Monuments Commission in Alexandria, Va., has a Web site, www.abmc.gov, that has a one-page print-out on those who were killed or died during the Korean War. The information is sometimes incomplete and a photo is also lacking if a relative or someone does not provide it.
An as Air Force veteran of the Forgotten Victory, having served there 1952-53, I hope that with your help we can be certain all information is correct and a photo provided to the ABMC for those from Wisconsin who gave the supreme sacrifice. Your knowledge on anyone from Wisconsin, not just this community or county, would be appreciated.
The Department of Defense has the following listed of Korean War casualties for Barron County, Army branch:
John T. Blume (Cumberland) March 4, 1953; Buddy E. Buckmaster (Rice Lake), Dec. 2, 1950; George G. Damico, Sept. 27, 1950; Lawrence Halvorson (Birchwood), July 20, 1950; David J.
