Pentagon Putting Korean War Vet Float in Rose Bowl Parade

Among the most watched parades in the country

It's been almost 60 years since James McEachin returned home with a bullet still lodged in his chest, finding an America indifferent toward the troops who fought in Korea. Now he will get the homecoming parade he had expected.

The Defense Department for the first time will put a float in Pasadena's Tournament of Roses — one the most watched parades — to commemorate the veterans from a conflict that still casts a shadow over the world.
