'Your papers, please' must never be heard in America
It has been almost 60 years since James McEachin returned home with a bullet lodged in his chest, finding an America indifferent toward the troops who fought in Korea. Now he will get the homecoming parade he had expected.
"We didn't march home in victory. We did what we were supposed to do, which is stop this aggressive force called communism," said Mr. McEachin, a Silver Star recipient.
After the victory in World War II, the Korean conflict seemed to almost provoke shame for Americans, Mr. McEachin said.
