Letter to the Editor - Trump not first president to regain Korean War remains

Editor:

I would like to offer a rebuttal to Terry Giles letter about Korean War Veteran remains.

According to an article on the AARP website, over 600 Korean War Veteran remains have been returned since the 1990s under a program initiated under the Clinton administration. The Korean government was given payments in the $22-million range in exchange for returning these soldiers. The program was curtailed when North Korea began escalating their nuclear program.

Mr. Giles misrepresented facts when he made his claims.
