Korean War dead memorialized on the Web (AP)

Ted Barker holds letters received during the Letters to the Lost project in Dallas Thursday Nov. 9 2006. The message sent out was simple: write a letter to someone lost in the Korean War. Within a day the responses started coming to the Korean War Project started 11 years ago by the Barker brothers. In the three weeks since the plea went out the brothers have gotten more than 500 letters and e-mails from daughters who lost their fathers to veterans who lost friends to schoolchildren thanking those who died for their freedom. (AP Photo/LM Otero)AP - The message was simple: Write a letter to someone lost in the Korean War. Within a day responses started pouring in for the latest effort by brothers Hal and Ted Barker to remember the war their father didn't like to discuss. In the three weeks since their plea went out more than 500 letters and e-mails have arrived — from daughters who lost their fathers to veterans who lost friends to schoolchildren thanking those who died for their freedom.
