GNMP Winter Lecture- A Crusade for Peace Eisenhower and the Korean War- February 25, 2023

Daniel Vermilya, Eisenhower National Historic Site 70 Years ago, Dwight D. Eisenhower ascended to the presidency at a time of great unrest and conflict. Nowhere was that conflict greater than in the Korean peninsula, where Americans had been fighting and dying by the thousands for several years. Join Eisenhower NHS Ranger Dan Vermilya to explore Eisenhower's crusade for peace in Korea, America's forgotten war. This program will provide special Gettysburg connections to the Korean War by highlighting stories in Gettysburg National Cemetery, and will also feature the newest addition to the Eisenhower NHS museum collection, the parka that President-Elect Eisenhower wore during his visit to Korea in December 1952.   Support the Show by:  Becoming a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg  Grabbing some merch- https://www.addressinggettysburg.com/shop  Getting a book- https://www.addressinggettysburg.com/books  Joining our book club.
