Norcross, July 27, 2018 – The American Korean Friendship Society hosted a Korean War Commemoration Ceremony at the Korean American Community Center honoring Korean War veterans for their sacrifices.

The ceremony also recognizes the 740 Georgian residents who has served the country during the Korean War from 1950-1953.

“We appreciate and honor the sacrifices made by the Korean War veterans who had given their lives to protect Korea during the war. Korea is the only country which remembers and honor the contribution made by American troops,” said Sunny K. Park, the lead organizer of the event and President of Korean American Friendship Society.

Consul General Young-Jun Kim delivers a greeting message on behalf of Republic of Korea's government. “Our government expressed thanks and gratitude for your sacrifices for our country. We hope the recent Korea Summit in Singapore will bring peace to the peninsula soon,” said the Consul General Kim in his remarks.
