Korean War veterans

Korean War veterans are individuals who served in the military during the Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953. This conflict involved North Korea, supported by China and the Soviet Union, fighting against South Korea, backed by United Nations forces, primarily from the United States. The war ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty, resulting in a divided Korea. Veterans of this war often experienced intense combat and hardship, and many returned home to a society that did not fully recognize their sacrifices. Today, they are commemorated for their service and the contributions they made in a complex historical context.
