​Today's Moment to Remember
Picture

On this date, June 25th, of 1950, the Korean War began when the North Korean Army invaded South Korea.  Two days later, President Truman, fearing what many called the "Domino Theory," (the country-by-country spread of communism) declared America's entrance in to the war.  The war, which actively lasted just over 3 years, was led in South Korea by American forces against communist North Korea.  Heroic American military actions resulted in more than 37,000 U.S. deaths and more than 4.700 Missing In Action.  The media and historians often call this war the 'Forgotten War,' but we, Veterans, Patriots, and other Full-blooded Americans, will never let that happen.

We honor and thank our Korean War Veterans for the sacrifices they made in the name of FREEDOM - fighting to liberate South Koreans.
