Today, on Korean War Armistice Day, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of the veterans who answered the call during the Korean War. Known as the "Forgotten War," the legacy of those who served will never be forgotten. Their service helped defend freedom, strengthened our nation, and continues to inspire generations!

National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day observed each year on July 27 to commemorate the signing of the armistice that ended combat operations in the in 1953.

Nearly 1.8 million U.S. troops served in Korea between 1950 and 1953, and their service helped preserve South Korea's freedom and set the foundation for one of America's most enduring alliances.

Pictured is the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., a lasting tribute to the Americans who served during the Korean War and the sacrifices they made in defense of freedom.

Thirty-three years to the day after her passing, Doris Moore was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for her service with the legendary 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the only all-Black, all-female unit to serve overseas during World War II.
Known as the "Six Triple Eight," the battalion tackled a staggering backlog of 17 million pieces of mail destined for American troops. The Army estimated the job would take at least six months, but the women completed it in just three, helping restore morale for soldiers and sailors serving overseas.
A Portsmouth, New Hampshire, native, Moore later became the state's first Black social worker after earning a master's degree through the GI Bill.
Moore's legacy—and the extraordinary achievements of the Six Triple Eight—continue to inspire generations.

Shared from the National Women's History Museum:
On July 20, 1942, the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) began its first training class at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. This marked the start of women being formally integrated into the United States Army.
The WAAC was created in May 1942 after more than a year of advocacy, with the goal of placing women in non-combat roles to free up men for the front lines. Women served in over 200 different capacities, from mechanics and cooks to communication officers and administrators. The WAAC was the only women’s military branch authorized to send its members overseas, meaning WAACs served in every theater of war. In 1943, the organization was granted full military status and renamed the Women’s Army Corps (WAC).

The service banner tradition began more than 100 years ago as a way for military families to be seen.

A Blue Star in the window meant a loved one was serving.

A Gold Star meant that loved one had died.

These banners were never just fabric. They were a quiet public symbol of service, sacrifice, pride, worry, grief, and family.

Today, Green Star carries that tradition forward for families of Veterans who died by su***de.

Because these families have also served and sacrificed. They have also been left behind carrying a loss many do not see.

Green Star Families of America is working for recognition, connection, and a place in the service-banner tradition for families who have stood in the silence for too long.

No family should feel invisible.
