The Korean War Educator Foundation, based in Tuscola, IL, is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history and memoirs of Korean War veterans. Through their oral history project, they conduct in-person interviews with veterans, Gold Star family members, and others involved in the war, aiming to document their experiences and create a legacy of understanding for future generations. The Foundation also strives to educate the public about the Korean War through publications of memoirs and serves as a valuable resource for those seeking information about this often overlooked conflict.
The primary goal of the Korean War Educator Foundation is to ensure that the Korean War is not forgotten but rather understood as the "unknown war." By retrieving and preserving memoirs, as well as publishing them in book form, the Foundation aims to spark public interest and provide educational resources on the Korean War and its veterans. With a focus on in-person interviews, the Foundation captures the personal stories of combat veterans, support personnel, Gold Star family members, and others affected by the war, allowing the general public to gain a deeper understanding of this significant historical event.
