Teaching about Korea

1 week ago

We are thankful for the teachers and other educators who work with us to capture the memories and stories of our #Koreanwarvets. We are honored to have Maranda Wilkinson servings as one of our fellows. She is a former middle school Social Studies teacher, Curriculum and Instruction Coach, and STEM Curriculum Specialist for the Franklin County School District in Tennessee. Her great-uncle, Ed Mech, served in Korea during the war as a medic and ambulance driver.

When asked what she most values about her work with the foundation, Maranda replied, "It has been a truly rewarding experience working on multiple Foundation projects aimed at amplifying the story of the Forgotten Victory and those who served. I simply cannot number the times I have been moved to tears listening to veterans share their experiences of loss and camaraderie on the battlefield. A sense of pride has regularly swelled in me during reviews as they, one by one, reflect on their service, the war's outcome, and South Korea's transformation. This unique collection of Korean War veteran oral histories and related resources from 22 participating nations is a testament to the power of the human story, and it is an honor knowing I have played a small role in helping preserve their stories for future generations."

Thank you for being such an important member of our team. ...
