For example the WWII History Group sets aside some time that is exclusively for Vets and then allows interested parties in to take part in their monthly program .
As a result they generally get a huge turn-out for their monthly program .
Your concern is noted. The Korean War Group is for Everyone, including those who lost family members during that tragic War. I attended the meeting today and there were 50 Veterans present. There were no individuals present of surviving Veterans. Although, I am sure if there were any individuals present, seeking information on their family members that served in the Korean War, they would have been welcome. I am also sure their concerns would have been answered.
