HEROES REMEMBERED
KOREAN WAR ARMISTICE 63nd ANNIVERSARY
 
On June 25, 1950, the North Korean Army began an offensive to invade South
Korea that resulted in the capture of the republic's capital, Seoul, within
four days. The United States, the United Kingdom and other members of the
United Nations moved to actively defend South Korea - an effort that would
last until July 27, 1953, when negotiations concluded and fighting finally
ended.
 
To commemorate the service and sacrifice of those who served in the Korean
War, Shelby County Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8904 and the
Ladies Auxiliary will host a Wreath Laying at the Veterans Memorial on the
grounds of the Historic Courthouse in Center on Wednesday, July 27th, 2016
at 10:00 a.m.  The names of Shelby County Veterans killed in action/missing
in action during the Korean War will also be read.  All Korean War Veterans
and the public are cordially invited.  
 
If you can attend the program and are a Korean War Veteran or the relative
of a Korean War Veteran who has passed, VFW Post 8904 would like to
recognize and present you with a certificate of service.   Call Post
Quartermaster Larry Hume at 598-2976 or email
<mailto:chief@chiefimaging.com> chief@chiefimaging.com with the veteran's
name and who will be attending for the presentation.
