MAKING   THE   TRADE





The war in Korea, a terrible nightmare,



it is known as the forgotten war.



North Korea invaded South Korea,



a three year long war.





Of all the troops sent to help out South Korea,



90% were from the United States.



It was one of the bloodiest conflicks of the 20th century,



it had over three million left dead…



Americans killed over 55,000



Missing in action over 7,500.



Total of unaccounted remains is over 7,500.





Freedom is having the choice to choose,



it can be a choice to win or a chance to lose.



Freedom is owing your life to those who gave you your freedom,



freedom is costly and freedom is free.





A regiment of soldiers are marching in perfect step as they march off to war,



the conditions were harsh, very very cold…



frostbite was a major cause of many injuries.



They left behind their homes, family and friends,





dedicated to their country they made the trade.





Being so many miles from home and not knowing their fate,



the cold starts to prey on each one’s mind.



They start to feel anguished and intense pain from feeling alone.



with their hearts in their throats and tear filled eyes, yet appearing brave



they hide the fear for no one to see.





Not everyone returns home to live a life,



never forgotten by many and cherished for the trade they each made.



Our soldiers fight the battles, they fly the planes of war,



soldiers run and shoot their guns hoping they are saving lives.





This battle is very ugly, a bloodbath…bodies are left everywhere,



Private Walczak had been overlooked and left behide dying.



he knows he’s dying, for it gets harder and harder for him to breathe.



All the pain is eating away at him, he is starting to lose conscience and starts



to hallucinate,



he can feel God’s presence and hears him calling his name.





He’s never been more certain of anything,



he feels God wiping his tears away, he knows it’s time.



A stealth helicoper took a shot,









spiraling out of control crashing into the ocean, pilot and crew members all missing.





The day the sad news came,



Mr. & Mrs. Hurless  were on the front pourch swing enjoying the day.



Their hearts quickly filled with sorrow as their worst nightmare just came true,



they will never be the same nor will they forget that day tomorrow !!!





We are so sorry but the helicoper can not be located,



we are not sure if anyone survived.



How many other families had to go through this kind of scenario,,,



not knowing if their son is dead or alive.





This Memorial Day take time out to remember those who made the trade !!!



Remember Freedom is Costly and a Price was paid in full for you and I by…
