What is National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day?

This observance honors the Americans who served in the Korean War, which began on June 25, 1950, when North Korean forces invaded the South. After three years of brutal fighting, an armistice was signed on July 27, 1953, halting active combat and creating the Korean Demilitarized Zone that still divides the peninsula. Often called the "Forgotten War," the day ensures its veterans and their sacrifices are remembered.
