To the editor:

July 27, 2016, was the 63rd anniversary of the signing of the armistice ending the war between North Korea and the United States.

So many who were not there call it a police action, the forgotten war or other names.

This one combat Marine who lives in Oakville, a veteran of both Korea and Vietnam, will never call it anything but a war.

Too many of my brothers still lie in that bloody dust.
