Korean Vets
Several groups of children and visitors had many questions and thanks for the Buchanan veterans from VFW Post 5895 and American Legion Post 93 when they visited the Korean War Memorial during a trip to Washington, D.C. on April 26. The veterans made stops at several other memorials, including Arlington National Cemetery. Here, Korean veterans (from left) Charles Montgomery, Ken Proffitt and Herm Prilipp answer questions.
