Always Remember, Never Forget!
🇺🇸 NATIONAL KOREAN WAR VETERANS ARMISTICE DAY
Today, we honor the courageous Americans who answered the call to serve during the Korean War and remember the tremendous sacrifices made in defense of freedom.
On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, bringing an end to more than three years of active combat on the Korean Peninsula.
More than seven decades later, we remain forever grateful to the men and women who served through bitter cold, unforgiving terrain and fierce combat, often far from home and in defense of people they had never met.
For generations, the Korean War was too often called the “Forgotten War.”
But those who served will never be forgotten.
Their courage. Their sacrifice. Their service. Their legacy.
The New York State Department of Veterans' Services proudly honors our Korean War Veterans and All Who Served during this defining chapter in our nation’s history.
Forever grateful. Forever proud. Forever remembered. 🙏🇺🇸
