Aboard a military aircraft, servicemen prepare memorial wreaths bearing the names of fallen comrades during the Korean War (1950-1953). Dressed in cold-weather flight gear, the men handle evergreen-and-carnation wreaths marked with individual name ribbons, a poignant reminder of the human cost borne by aircrews and ground forces during the conflict. Such memorial rituals, often conducted informally within units, honored the sacrifice of servicemen far from home. Project: 218074
