26	27 Korean War Veterans Day Korean War Veterans Day July 27, 2020 "On National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, we honor the patriots who defended the Korean Peninsula against the spread of Communism in what became the first major conflict of the Cold War. We remember those who laid down their lives in defense of liberty, in a land far from home, and we vow to preserve their legacy. The Korean War has often been labeled as the ""Forgotten War"" but to the men and women of the American Legion we shall never forget the great sacrafices made. The Korean War began on June 25, 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea. On July 27, 1953 an armistice was declared and active hositilies ended. Over 36,000 American service members were killed in action. An addition 90 American service members have been killed since the Armistice began with the most recent being Chief Warrant Officer 2 David Hilemon who was shot down on Dec 17, 1994. Over 7,700 US soldiers are still listed as missing from the Korean War and will not be forgotten." See more details •	28	29	30	31
