1950: MY FRIEND, RAY SYPNIEWSKI: FIRST LOCAL KOREAN WAR CASUALTY

They call it "the forgotten war," and in some ways it is very true. As we honor those who gave their all in America's wars past and present, it seems that the first victim of the Korean war, a Hamilton Township veteran, would have gotten at least a passing mention in the local press. Perhaps I am in error and there has been recognition given to this local hero. If so, I would ask that someone let me know so that I can include it in the "MILITARY" folder in the Hamilton Library Digital Local History Collection.
