This anthology compiles historical publications commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Korean Conflict, focusing on the experiences and sacrifices of U.S. Marines. It draws from a collection previously compiled by the History and Museums Division to honor those who fought and died in what is often called the "forgotten war." The work aims to provide a comprehensive remembrance of the Marine Corps' role and the human cost of the conflict.

This compilation serves as a historical record and tribute, drawing from existing publications to commemorate the Korean War's 50th anniversary. Its focus on the U.S. Marines positions it as a specialized historical account for those interested in military history and the specific contributions of this branch of service during the conflict. The work is presented as a memorial to the Marines who served and perished.
