On July 27, 2022 the Wall of Remembrance was unveiled at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. It lists the names of 36,634 Americans and 7,174 Koreans who were killed in action together in the war that ended 69 years prior.
Unfortunately, historians claim the names of at least 595 men are missing from the wall. Since the war was a "police action", no war zone was ever formally established. Most of the missing names are the result of plane crashes around Japan and the Korean Peninsula during the war.
Worse, at least 868 (and maybe as many as a thousand) names are misspelled. These misspellings have been known since they were published by the National Archives in 2011. Attempts to correct the names failed over the intervening years. Even though wrong, the stated reason was that Congress mandated they be used since they came from the DOD as official casualty lists. For comparison, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial has about 100 misspellings with 20,000 more names.
Incredibly, four of the misspelled names are those of men who are Medal of Honor recipients!
