The names include over 36,000 American service members plus over 7,000 members of the Korean augmentation to the United States Army who fought alongside US troops.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Good morning from the Korean War Veterans Memorial.
