To everyone else, it was the Forgotten War -- defined by the reruns of M*A*S*H or the 19 figures on the National Mall, suspended in time on their long, cold walk through Korea. For the men who were there, fighting and dying in freezing reservoirs or snow-capped mountaintops, it was much more. It was a three-year battle -- a half a world away -- for freedom. And the echoes in our American story still linger.

Like most pilots, Tom Hudner and Jesse Brown were thrown together as wingmen -- both graduates of the United States Naval Academy, both on a ship destined for Korea. But that's where the similarities ended. Tom was the New England prep-school son of an entrepreneur; Jesse was the oldest in a dirt-poor family of sharecroppers. Working his way through school turned out to be the easy part for Jesse -- surviving life at an academy with virtually no African-American peers was another. But he stuck it out, surviving flight training and eventually ending up on a carrier destined for one of the bloodiest battles in 1951.

RICHMOND, Va. -- In response to the increasing attacks on the religious freedom of members of the U.S. Armed Forces, Our Faith Under Fire launched today as a defender of that freedom.

"Our Faith Under Fire is the only community benefit organization committed to not only defending the religious freedom of our military service members and their families but also to addressing the issue at its source by supporting members of Congress who defend that freedom and opposing those who would deny our military this constitutionally protected fundamental right," said the Rt. Rev. Col. Derek Jones (USAF- Ret.), chairman of Our Faith Under Fire.
