Acknowledging the courage and sacrifice of veterans of the Korean War and Korean Defense Veterans.

This resolution acknowledges the significant contributions and sacrifices made by veterans of the Korean War and Korean Defense Veterans. It highlights that nearly 1.8 million United States service members served in the Korean War, which began with North Korea's invasion in 1950, resulting in substantial casualties and a conflict that technically remains a state of war.

United States Armed Forces have continuously served in South Korea since the armistice, with many veterans returning home without the fanfare of other conflicts. The resolution emphasizes that these veterans deserve to be recognized by all Americans for their honorable service.

Ultimately, the House of Representatives formally recognizes their courage, sacrifice, and enduring commitment to defending democracy and freedom on the Korean Peninsula.
