As we observe Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. One such person was PFC. James Downs, who was killed in action on September 8, 1950 during the Korean War. Families receive letters and notices, like the ones shown, to inform them of their loved one’s passing.

While we celebrate Memorial Day, please take some time to remember and honor the men and women in uniform who did not come home.

A blast from the past! Cal Wasson reports for K8 on gas shortage for the 1977 Memorial Day weekend. You can see this and other K8 videos on our institutional repository, ARCH.
