It is uncertain who first instituted the custom of granting medals to individuals for acts of bravery or for military services. Scipio Aemilius is said to have bestowed wreaths of roses upon his men of the eleventh Legion at Carthage in 146 B.

  • Korean War Forgotten - No More
    MAY 27, 2019 KOREAN WAR FORGOTTEN - NO MORE MEN OF BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ WHO WERE CASUALTIES IN THE 1 The Cover is of the Korean War Veterans Memorial (19 stainless steel statues). The statues were sculpted by Frank Gaylord of Barre, VT and cast by Tallix Foundries of Beacon, NY. They are approximately seven feet tall and represent an ethnic cross section of America. The advance party has 14 Army, 3 Marine, 1 Navy and 1 Air Force members. The statues stand in patches of Juniper bushes and are separated by polished granite strips, which give a semblance of order and symbolize the rice paddies of Korea. The troops wear ponchos covering their weapons and equipment. The ponchos seem to blow in the cold winds of Korea. NOTES This booklet was prepared on behalf of the Burlington County War Memorial Committee. It is interrelated to the Korean War Monument that was dedicated May 27, 2019. The men contained herein are those, from Burlington County, New Jersey, that are listed on the National Archives web site. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/military/korean-war/casualty-lists/nj-alpha.pdf The lists are based on the "home of record - state" data provided by the serviceman or woman upon last entrance into military service. "Home of record" does not necessarily refer to the place of birth, residence of next of kin, place of longest residence, nor other common uses of the term "hometown." The account and associated photos in the chapter “The Korean War” was prepared by Sean Kane-Holland.
