                     TRIBUTE TO KOREAN WAR VETERANS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). Under a previous order of the 
House, the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Bachus) is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. BACHUS. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is the 46th anniversary of the end 
of the Korean War. So I think it is a fitting time to remember and pay 
tribute to all Americans who fought and died in that war.
  Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking at a Korean War Memorial 
Service in Fultondale, Alabama. There, the names of 672 Alabamans, who 
died or are missing in action in that war, names were called. It was a 
very emotional service. We had a 21-gun salute. Relatives placed 
flowers at the memorial.
  I gave a speech, and the veterans at that memorial asked me to again 
give that speech tonight in tribute to their fallen comrades and to all 
of those who served in Korea, those who died, and the 8,000 who are 
still missing in action as a result of that war.
  I will place in the Record the names of those 672 Alabamans who paid 
it all in Korea.
  Mr. Speaker, throughout the Bible, God calls on his people, on his 
children to remember, to remember the wonderful works that he has done, 
to remember his miracles, to remember all that he has done for them.
  When we read the Bible, we are sometimes frustrated that the children 
of Israel continually forgot the good things that God had done for 
them. We sometimes say why were they so unappreciative? Why did they 
forget? Why did they fail to remember?
  But are we so different? Is not our treatment and our ignorance of 
the Korean War not a parallel? We forgot a whole war and the sacrifices 
made there. Why did we forget? Why were we so unappreciative for the 
37,000 Americans who died there? Why do we not know a lot about that or 
the fact there are 8,000 missing to this day?
  The Korean War was concluded, not with the enemy's surrender, but 
with a negotiated armistice that reestablished the existing borders 
between North and South Korea. It left an uneasy peace that exists even 
today.
  With tens of thousands of young Americans brutally killed and a war 
occurring in such a remote and inhospitable land so far away with no 
victory to celebrate, the Korean War gave most Americans little to 
remember and much to forget.
  For that reason, the Korean War is today called the ``Forgotten 
War,'' and it is often spoken of as the Forgotten War. However, there 
is much to remember about this war, much to remember about those who 
left farms and factories, high school classrooms and college campuses 
to defend our freedom.
  From Alabama, there were four brothers, the Goodwin brothers. They 
all survived Korea. They came home with eight purple hearts. Mr. 
Goodwin, Bob Goodwin from Birmingham, was there yesterday to lay 
flowers at the memorial.
  Today, we recall, and we remember. We are not here to cheer or to 
celebrate, but to reflect on the sacrifices that were made so long ago, 
to remember the living, those who survived and are not here today, and 
those who died and lie buried about us and those, as I said, 8,000 
whose bodies were never recovered, who were never buried here in the 
United States.
  World War II had followed World War I, the war to end all wars. The 
long struggle against Nazism and imperialism was over, and America, 
although victorious, was so weary of war. America and her people knew 
well the cost, the horror, and the sacrifice of war.
  But that did not prevent 1\1/2\ million of America's finest patriots 
from leaving their homes or friends to serve. Halfway around the world 
they went or, as so aptly described in the Korean War Memorial, to ``a 
place they had never been and a people they had never met.''
  As William Sessions, the father of the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Sessions), said, ``They went not for conquest and not for gain, but 
only to protect the anguished and the innocent. They suffered greatly 
and by their heroism in a thousand forgotten battles they added a 
luster to the codes we hold most dear: duty, honor, country, fidelity, 
bravery, and integrity.''
  These were citizen soldiers. But for the most part, they were not 
skilled in war. They were ordinary young men and women like our sons 
and daughters.
  We should remember, too, the hardships our Korean War veterans 
endured: the deadly cold, the weeks and months spent crammed in 
foxholes and bunkers dug into rugged, harsh terrain. They faced an 
enemy of overwhelming numbers ready to torture and brutalize. They were 
locked in hand-to-hand combat at ``Heartbreak Ridge'' and ``Pork Chop 
Hill,'' confronted with the fastest fighter jets at ``Mig Alley.''
  Today's military history records that our Korean veterans set a 
standard of courage that may be matched, but which will never be 
surpassed.
  In summary, chiseled in silver on the Korean War Memorial are the 
words ``Freedom is not free.'' The men and women who served in Korea 
and the family and friends of those 37,000 who never returned and those 
thousands still missing have paid it all. They demonstrate the high and 
precious cost of freedom.
  We should never forget that these patriots paid a price one by one 
when they were swept away by the treacherous tides of Inchon or died 
defending the perimeter of Pusan or froze to death by the hundreds at 
Chosan reservoir or in the long march back. Their families will never 
forget their sacrifice and neither should we.
  Now on this hot sunny, summer day, Mr. Speaker, let me simply sum up 
by saying, today we know that those, that first resolute action by 
these veterans

[[Page H6389]]

stemmed the expansion of communism and, in so doing, helped change the 
course of history.
  Now, we know it took four more decades to win the battle against 
communism. But having witnessed the collapse of the Berlin Wall and its 
aftermath, we know now that those who served in Korea laid the 
foundation for one of the greatest victories in the history of mankind, 
the free world triumph over communism.
  Mr. Speaker, I include for the Record the names of the Alabamians who 
died in the Korean War as follows:

 Korean War Memorial Speech--Fultondale, Alabama, Sunday, July 25, 1999

       Throughout the Bible, God calls on his Children to 
     remember. To remember the wonderful works He has done, His 
     miracles and the judgment He uttered (Psalms 105:5). We are 
     told not only to remember the good days, but the difficult as 
     well. ``Remember that you were a slave in Egypt,'' he 
     reminded the children of Israel. Remember the days of old, 
     and consider. Recall what the Lord your God did.
       And when they forget to remember the hard lessons or the 
     sweet blessings of the past, failure was not far away. When 
     we read the Bible, we are sometimes frustrated seeing God's 
     children repeating their mistakes time and time again. Being 
     so unappreciative. Why did they forget? Why didn't they 
     remember?
       But are we so different? We forget a whole war and the 
     sacrifices made. Is not America's treatment of the Korean War 
     not parallel? Why did we forget? Why were we so 
     unappreciative?
       The Korean War concluded not with the enemy's surrender, 
     but with the negotiated armistice that re-established the 
     earlier boundary between North and South, leaving an uneasy 
     peace that lingers today. With tens of thousands of young 
     Americans brutally killed and in such a remote and 
     inhospitable land so far away and with no victory to 
     celebrate, the Korean War gave most Americans of that time 
     little to remember and much to forget. That is why the Korean 
     War is often spoken of as the forgotten war.
       However, there is much to remember about this war and about 
     those who left farms and factories, high school classrooms 
     and college campuses to serve their country.
       Today, we assemble together to remember. To recall and 
     consider. We are not here to cheer or to celebrate but to 
     reflect on the sacrifices of so many made so long ago. To 
     remember the living, those who survived and are here today. 
     Those who died and lie buried about us, and those whose 
     bodies were never recovered to lie beneath the green, green 
     grass of home.
       World War II had followed World War I, the war to end all 
     wars. The long struggle against Nazism and imperialism was 
     over and America, although victorious, was so weary of war. 
     America and her people knew well the cost, the horror and the 
     sacrifice of war.
       But in June 1950, one and a half million of America's 
     finest patriots left their families, friends and homes to 
     help defend freedom. Halfway around the world they went, or 
     as so aptly inscribed on the Korean War Memorial, to ``a 
     place they had never been and a people they had never met.'' 
     These were citizen soldiers. For the most part not skilled in 
     the art of war, but ordinary young men and women like our 
     sons and daughters, who, when the time came, showed 
     extraordinary courage.
       We should remember, too, the terrible hardships our Korean 
     War veterans endured. The deadly cold, the weeks and months 
     spent crammed in foxholes and bunkers dug into an 
     unbelievably rugged and harsh terrain. They faced an enemy of 
     overwhelming numbers ready to torture and brutalize. They 
     were locked in hand-to-hand combat on ``Heartbreak Ridge'' 
     and ``Porkchop Hill'' and confronted the world's fastest 
     fighter jets in ``Mig Alley.'' Today's military history 
     records that our Korean veterans set a standard of courage 
     that may be matched, but which will never be surpassed. 
     Ordinary men and women who showed extraordinary courage.
       Chiseled in silver on the Korean War memorial are the words 
     ``Freedom is not free.'' The men and women who served in 
     Korea and the family and friends of those 36,914 who never 
     returned and those thousands of Americans who were lost in 
     Korea and whose bodies to this day have never been found 
     demonstrate the high and precious cost of freedom. We should 
     never forget that these patriots paid the price one at a time 
     when they were swept away in the treacherous tides of Inchon 
     or died defending the perimeter of Puzan, or froze to death 
     by the hundreds at Chosan reservoir or in the long march out. 
     Their families will never forget their sacrifice and neither 
     will we.
       Now on this hot, sunny summer day 46 years after the July 
     armistice, we have a new reason to remember those who left 
     home and struggled to stop the spread of aggression, for we 
     now know that it was these veterans who took the first 
     resolute action to stem the expansion of communism, and in 
     doing so helped change the course of history. Now we know it 
     took four more decades to win the battle against communism, 
     but having witnessed the collapse of the Berlin Wall and its 
     aftermath we know that those who served in Korea laid the 
     foundations for one of the greatest victories in the history 
     of mankind: the free world triumph over communism.
       As we leave this memorial, this observance, let us be 
     reminded the Korean War is not a forgotten war. It is a war 
     most worthy of remembrance. Let us, on behalf of all the free 
     people of the world, remember the men and women who died not 
     only in the Korean War, but in all our wars. Finally, let us 
     give thanks to those men and women who have given their lives 
     for our freedom, and give thanks to God for them and for 
     those who stand guard over America today, defending and 
     preserving our freedom.
