Veterans Reflect on Korean War

Recently, United States and Korean Veterans joined together at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the armistice agreement that brought a cease fire to the conflict. The event included a poetry reading from a Korean War Veteran, the laying of roses to honor each country that lost lives in the war, and the playing of taps as wreaths were presented. The Korean War armistice was signed on July 27, 1953. For more information, read the VA VAntage Point Blog. Learn more about the Korean War on the Wikipedia website.
