Police Action in Korea

The fiction experiences of Sgt. Charles S. Gary are the result of the true experiences of three soldiers in the first year of the Korean War. His experiences are typical of the back-and-forth battles that raged on the peninsula until the war settled into a sort of trench warfare similar to World War I in Europe. One young soldier was quoted as saying, aWhy donat they issue us bicycles?a He met these three men during the war, and shortly after the truce was signed while their experiences were still fresh in their minds. This story is dedicated to the memory of thousands of United Nations fighting men and women who struggled against overwhelming odds during the largely forgotten and ignored war. May their sacrifice never be forgotten.
