Gunnison Honor Roll

An honor roll is the plainest kind of war memorial: a list of names, the local people who served or were lost. This one in Gunnison centers on the Korean War — the "forgotten war" of 1950 to 1953, fought to a stalemate and overshadowed almost as soon as it ended. Small towns like Gunnison felt those absences sharply; even a short list of names from a place this size is a real share of its young men. The honor roll exists to keep them from being forgotten twice.
