Ed Murrow 'What's My Line' Honor to Killed WW II + Korean Correspondants
The following TV show aired in 1952. More than half way through this clip (after the panel guesses that the mystery guest is Murrow), Murrow announces his project to raise money for a memorial to the 64 war correspondants who were killed while covering WW II and Korea.

Both Murrow and John Daly (the host of "What's My Line") worked in CBS Radio News in the 1930s and 1940s. Daly did the first bulletins reporting the attack of Pearl Harbor and the death of FDR. Morrow broadcast famous radio reports in Europe during World War II. His radio report describing the atrocities of Buckenwald is still harrowing to listen to.
The "What's My Line" clips presented on YouTube are small gems... pieces of history. They include, among many other famous and influencial people, Eleanore Roosevelt, Frank LLoyd Wright, and many other icons of the 20th Century.
