- By the end of the Korean War on July 27, 1953, some 6.8 million Americans had traveled to Asia for the war effort; 33,686 died, and 103,284 were wounded. Although the Korean conflict ignited just five years after World War II, South Dakotans answered the call. An estimated 26,000 South Dakotans traveled far from home to fight, and 170 died in that effort.
The program uses interviews, veterans’ photographs, archival footage of the war, and background on the conflict to bring the stories to life. Includes interviews with veterans across the state.
This documentary and many other local South Dakota stories may be found on the PBS App for your smart TV or online at www.watch.sdpb.org

I'm a Korean. I express my deepest gratitude and respect to the veterans of the participating countries who fought to protect the free Republic of Korea from communism. Most Koreans have not forgotten. Thank you sincerely.
These are the most outstanding bunch of guy's I've seen. So polite, smart and brave. So proud to be American right now.
My grandfather served in Korea. He never spoke of it. I am very proud of his service. God bless America, our veterans, & all those serving. 🇺🇸
These were real men who weren't afraid to go out and fight and they surely wasn't afraid to put their lives on the line for they're country... You don't see those types of men nowadays anymore... Salute 🤚
I believe it is because the situation has not yet occurred again.
I really don’t know what you mean by this? Those of us that served after WW2 & Korea served honorably to defend our country from Communism or militant Islam. Maybe someday you’ll watch their videos?
Deep appreciation to You who sacrificed themselves to save lives of others and give many thanks for your effort for keeping Peace on Earth.
My dad served on the front lines in the Korean War. He never talked about his service, but some of the sayings these guys use, such as "dog tired" sound like they came straight from my dad's mouth. I wish I could have watched this with him while he was alive -- maybe stories would have poured out of him.
May we always be grateful for those who have served (and those who are now serving).
I'm 43 and my grandpa served over there for a couple years until he got shot in nine places and sent home and I could never get him to talk much at all about his time over there. He only ever told me a couple of things that stuck with me. Here goes;He got off the plane over there on his 19th birthday, He said he met some of the nicest people he had every met in his life over there (locals), his best friend was found with his entire genitals cut completely out and removed and tied to a tree, and up till the day he died at the age of 92 he would not touch a single grain of rice. You couldn't pay that man a million bucks to eat one grain of rice. He said the local villagers saved their feces to use as fertilizer. Makes sense I guess. That was just a quirk he had about the rice I always thought was funny. When he passed away it was written on the little dry erase board in his hospital room, allergic to latex, Codeine and no rice!!!!! I wish I could of gotten closer to him but he lived in N.C. and I live in S.C. our little towns were about two and a half hours apart so it was only about once a month when we could visit. Them guys really were cut from a different cloth. ✌
@@LOSKOSKI Wow - sounds like your grandpa had quite the experiences over there. I imagine remembering these stories - and so many more - make you feel closer to him. Thank you so much for sharing!
My grandmothers boyfriend was a CWO-3 Recon marine. Korea and Vietnam. He would always talk about 1953. He got a Silver or Bronze star for carrying a dead guy. He was a DI. He said he was NOT going to be captured and I can understand why! He died in 2010
I'm a Korean. Your father is a hero who protected the free Republic of Korea. The majority of Koreans do not forget that and always live with gratitude. The Republic of Korea that my father protected has become a country ranked in the top 10 economically. South Korea is also helping countries in need. Once again, I express my deepest respect and gratitude to your father.
@@LOSKOSKI Is your father also a Korean War veteran?
Awsome with real people who tells the story👍🏼
Thank you for your service and for sharing about your experiences.
I love war documentaries they are some of the best story's
I feel for guy whose shrapnel was thoughtlessly thrown away. I understand how meaningful that might be to some.
Thank you for sharing. I recently discovered through DNA my biological father marine staff Sargent Vernon J Plummer wounded Korea Sept 29th 1950. He lost his right leg and continued under heavy gun fire to pull all his other injured comrades to safety.
Thank you for there stories
How in the hell does someone become a Sergeant in 2 years???...... No way you could be worthy of that rank so fast. Here in Australia, it takes about 10 years or more in current Army..... crazy times back then!.....Semper Fi.
You make rank quickly in combat as those around you that outrank you are killed off. Few went from private to Master Sargent in a year in brutal combat in Korea. It's happened.
Like the movie final destination, struggle WILL find you! My father survived this to marry mean women who treat Him worse than dogs, lose His business, and sleep in a car or hard floor at work getting robbed. None the less, I am so thankful to the families who sacrificed over there! I had an unbelievable adventure in this country that few believe and we were inches literally away from being communist slaves. Like I could almost cry. General Douglas Macarthur is my hero
I don't think the man had a choice . That cold water would've killed him especially he got stuck in the seat. I really wish I knew if the man got his wings taken or not. I think that's what he called it.
What stopped the Chinese was their supply lines were the length of North Korea had they moved supplies close to the 38th parallel the 8th army ROK forces might have been completely defeated because they couldn't stop them...
My son was stationed in Korea.
Taking 50 pounds barrel up and down hills is backbreaking. I would probably swear every second if I had to do that shitty job.
Try carrying 80-90lbs of concrete or wrestling 90lb jackhammer
Your not taking that concrete far and a jackhammer you just work it with air.. you just control how it hits.. it can’t compare.
Darn it. The music stopped, but now it started up again. I don’t think I’ll be able to watch this because it’s too distracting. Disappointing.
Ok, you said his decision was a blunder, but why??
volumn is 2 low.
