WORLD WAR II
From 1941 to 1945 men and women of the Far East Air Forces took part in the struggle to secure freedom in the Pacific. At its height 175,000 men and women served in the Far East Air Forces. Over 5,000 aircraft operating from bases covering the vast reaches of the Pacific, gained air superiority and launched a devastating air campaign. More than 6,500 Americans of the Far East Air Forces gave their lives in Pacific campaigns during the war. Thirteen were awarded the nation's highest tribute for bravery, the Congressional Medal of Honor.
We are now in the midst of a war, not for conques t Not for vengeance, but for a world in which this Nation, and all that this nation represents, will be Safe for our children. President Franklin D. Rossevelt, 9 December 1941
KOREA
For three years, from 1950 to 1953, men and women of the Far East Air Forces fought in Korea to turn back communist aggression. From the Pusan perimeter to MIG Alley, those in the air and those supporting them on the ground fought with honor and distinction. In the skies above Korea they demonstrated the capability of American air power to gain air superiority, destroy the enemy Air Forces, interdict their supplies, and protect American Troops. More than 1,100 Far East Air Forces members lost their lives in this war. Four were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
In the simplest terms, what we are doing in Korea is This: we are trying to prevent a third world war. President Harry S. Truman, 16 April 1951
SOUTHEAST ASIA
From 1962 to 1972 Air Force men and women fought in Southeast Asia to defend freedom. Beginning with Korea-vintage aircraft and ending with precision guided munitions and armaments of the modern era, Pacific Air Forces men and women fought this most difficult war with determination, honor, and distinction. From bases throughout the Pacific and Southeast Asia they launched hundreds of thousands of missions in support of the war effort. More than 2,100 died in this, the nation's longest war. Twelve received the Congressional Medal of Honor.
I want to end the war to save the lives of those brave Young men in Vietnam, but I want to end it in a way which Will increase the chance that their younger brothers And their sons will not have to fight in some future Vietnam someplace in the world. President Richard M. Nixon, 3 November 1969
