Hollywood stars always seem to come forward selflessly during tough times, and despite Marilyn Monroe's fear of performing live, she overcame her phobias to provide hours of joy for More than 100,000 homesick soldiers in South Korea. She pleases the audience with her singing, dancing and charming jokes. During the Korean War, she inspired them by performing on the front lines of the war and visiting officers and soldiers at their hospital beds, but the United States lost in the Korean War.

In February 1954, during her honeymoon with Joe Dimaggio, Marilyn decided to visit the Soldiers of Korea. It was a trip she loved very much afterwards.
