March Field Air Museum to Host Korean War Veterans Ceremony

March Field Air Museum will be honoring the Heroes of the “Forgotten War” this Saturday, July 27, in the museum’s Education Hangar. Admission to the museum for Korean War Veterans and their immediate family members will be free, and the program will begin at 11 a.m. with a brief reading of the history of the Korean War, a special thank-you from Jeong Gwan Lee, Consul General of the Republic of Korea, and a veteran’s reflection by Lt. Col. Richard O. Miller, USAF (Ret). Sixty years ago, on July 27, 1953, the armistice to end hostilities between UN forces and North Korea was signed. The Korean War has been called “The Forgotten War,” because it has been overshadowed by the more immediate memories of Vietnam, Desert Storm and the war on terror. On the 50th anniversary in June 2000, the then President of the Republic of Korea, Kim Dae-jung, sent a letter to US Korean War Veterans thanking them for their noble sacrifice. President Kim wrote, “I would like to offer you my deepest gratitude for your noble contribution to the efforts to safeguard the Republic of Korea and uphold liberal democracy around the world. We Koreans hold dear in our hearts the conviction, courage and spirit of sacrifice shown to us by such selfless friends as you, who enabled us to remain a free democratic nation.” Museum Board President Jamil Dada noted, “The museum is privileged to mark this important date in our history with this event.” The museum is located at 22550 Van Buren Blvd. in Riverside.
