 Korean War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Korean War, occurring between June 25, 1950 and a cease-fire on July 27, 1953, was a war between the partition states of North Korea and South Korea that were created respectively out of the post-World War II Soviet and American occupation zones in Korea, with large-scale participation by other countries.
The war is sometimes referred to outside Korea as "The Forgotten War", because it is a major conflict of the 20th century that is rarely mentioned in public discourse.
The war led to a strengthening of alliances in the Western bloc and the splitting of China from the Soviet bloc.

 Smith Brothers Papers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Both Smith brothers were badly wounded June remaining hospitalized for several weeks before returning to duty with the 22nd, which participated in the Atlanta Campaign and thereafter in reserve in Georgia and Tennessee.
The Smith Brothers collection is a slender, but significant one, documenting the combined Civil War service of two brothers from Marion, Mich. June's five letters are less descriptive, and somewhat less interesting than the seven of his brother, Gus (one letter was written jointly), but both have something to say.
Perhaps the two most interesting are an undated letter from Gus, probably written in the fall, 1862, describing his tent and living conditions in Kentucky, and his letter from May, 1863, crowing over his promotion to captain.

Still, War of the Buttons is a beautifully made, well-acted, carefully scripted and sometimes very funny movie that tells us much about ourselves and our penchant for making war out of less than nothing.
