The Korean War lasted for three years, but during that time more than thirty six thousand troops were lost. It's a conflict that is often neglected or forgotten when we think about wars, but the truth is that there were plenty of lives lost during that war. Because it was a war that was sandwiched between World War II and the Vietnam War, it disappeared from the public perception and was lost to time. Now is your chance to honor those who never returned from this war with this Korea Patch ? In Memory Of The Forgotten War.
This Veteran Patch is black twill, measuring four inches by three inches, and featuring the words 'IN MEMORY OF' in bright yellow lettering aligned with the curved edge on the top of the patch. On the left side of the patch in red lettering is the phrase 'The Forgotten War REMEMBERED 36,516 Never Returned'. Then in the middle of the patch is the white silhouette of the famous flag raising picture from Iwo Jima. On the right hand side of the patch in yellow lettering is 'KOREA' with the blue and white badge that symbolizes the war. Underneath it are the years '1950-1953', the years of the conflict.
This is a very beautifully rendered patch that is specifically intended to make sure that those fallen warriors who were lost during the war are honored and to bring attention to this conflict. You can iron this patch on to a number of fabrics because of the heat activated glue that coats the back. Or, if you are attaching the patch to something leather or something with an odd shape, then you can sew it on either by hand or with a machine by going around the edge of the patch with a firm stitch.
