【 摘 要 】

This paper looks at the issue of forgotten veterans of the Korean War with an emphasis on those from Wisconsin. It looks at the atmosphere in America during the time of the war, including strikes and newspaper coverage, and tries to use this as a way to explain the public;;s treatment of returning Korean War Veterans. The legacy of the Korean War is examined in the film The Manchurian Candidate as well as two memorials from Wisconsin.
