About the Event:
Korean War Veterans Day is observed each year on July 27th honoring Korean War Veterans and their families. Approximately 150,000 troops from South Korea, the United States, and participating U.N. nations were killed in the Korean War, and as many as one million South Korean civilians perished. Join us to honor those men and women that served their country and perished in the Korean War. May we never forget!
