Question by lindz: How do I find people who served in the Korean War/Conflict?
My Grandfather will be turning 80 this year and I am trying to give him a gift that would mean a lot to him. He served in the Korean War/Conflict and I was thinking I would like to contact his “old war buddies” and invite them to his party.
