Week #8

For this blog post I will be talking about the Korean war other wise known as the forgotten war among veterans.  The Korean war started in 1950 and ended in 1953. 27000 Canadians went to Korea, that's twice as many as were sent on Dday and 6 times as many as in the gulf war.  Out of the 27000 soldiers sent to Korea 616 died.  The Americans used better weapons in the war then the Canadian soldiers did, so Canadian soldiers used to trade alcohol for guns. Both American and Canadian soldiers fought under the U.N's flag during the Korean war.
