U.S. Army Cpl. Luther Herschel Story helped bring light to the Republic of Korea.

Cpl. Story paid for that gift of light with his life. He’s only one of many heroes: Some 37,000 Americans were killed in action in the Korean War (1950-53).

“God allowed him to do what he had to do and took him home so he didn’t have to do it anymore.”
