Rock Island Arsenal ASC Series: Korea: Incheon to the DMZ
Join Kevin Braafladt, the Army Sustainment Command Historian at the Rock Island Arsenal, and the Army Sustainment Command History Office in exploring the history of the Rock Island Arsenal and American military conflicts throughout the years.
The Korean War is often referred to as the Forgotten War. As we cross into the final year of the 70th Anniversary, we’ll look back at some of the most pivotal moments in the war’s history. In this final lecture of a three-part series, we will discuss the bulk of hostilities up to the cease-fire in 1953. The final parting shots are what set the stage for relations on the Korean Peninsula for the next 70 years.
This program is scheduled to be held in person. The event will be recorded and available on the Davenport Public Library's YouTube.
This program is suitable for adults and teens.
