text: Today is the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War, too often referred to as the ?ÛÏForgotten War.?Û? No war can be forgotten. We must always remember the cost in lives and dollars and the lessons that should be learned. It stuns me to remember that 2.5 million people were killed, including over 33,000 Americans. There was no peace agreement; an armistice halted the fighting in 1953, but officially, the Korean Peninsula remains at war. I am reminded that most of us in Congress have never experienced the horrors of combat, yet we give permission to send our young men and women into war more often than we should. Let this anniversary serve as a reminder that we must enter war only as a last resort.
