In this The Heart of the Story with Gary Metivier we take you inside a makeshift garage in a small town. It is home to Korean War veteran Bob Fitts. But now his 90's Bob is still fighting this time to keep the word "war" in the Korean War.

He is also trying to make sure we never forget the often called "forgotten war." His home museum is free and open to anyone who wants to discover the history here.
