Monuments and Memories<br />
Korea, <strong>The</strong> Forgotten <strong>War</strong>............. remembered<br />
New York Remembers<br />
Nassau County Executive Legislators and our members<br />
staged the first and only tribute to <strong>Korean</strong> <strong>War</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong> in<br />
Nassau County, Long Island on the occasion of the renaming of<br />
Merrick Avenue (the eight block boundary to Eisenhower Park)<br />
to <strong>Korean</strong> <strong>War</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong> Memorial Drive.<br />
to our ground forces from the air we were attached to the<br />
Infantry Regiments (38th, 23rd and 9th) for ground support. Our<br />
vehicle was the M19 with twin 40’s and painted like all vehicles<br />
were in those days. This vehicle looks like an upgrade that may<br />
have been intended for use in Desert Storm even though I do not<br />
think it could do much to the aircraft of today. If you have any<br />
detail on this one like where it came from please let me know.)<br />
