Cover Photograph
John Bizal’s 1941 WC-4 �½-ton 4x4

it tucked in a row of derelict trucks in

Korean War Veterans National Museum
The Korean War Veterans National Museum and
Library (KWVNM&L) will be among the first museums
of national scope devoted entirely to the subject of the
conflict. The long overdue tribute, planned for construc-
tion in Tuscola, Illinois, will be the only national reposi-
tory for items, manuscripts, and literature associated
with the Korean War. The primary objectives of the
KWVNM&L are to build a museum facility, a library, and
a convention center and to promote the museum
throughout the United States, South Korea, and the
Allied Nations. The KWVNM&L was incorporated in the
State of Illinois in 1997 and fund-raising efforts are
currently in progress. The establishment of the
KWVNM&L is not financially supported by federal legis-
lation. The group is non-profit, and a federally tax-
exempt historic preservation agency.
For more information, contact the Korean War Veter-
ans National Museum and Library, P.O. Box 16, Tuscola,
Illinois 61953; phone 217.253.5813; or E-mail, kwmu-
seum@theforgottenvictory.org. The organization’s web site
