                               RESOLUTION

 Acknowledging the courage and sacrifice of veterans of the Korean War
                      and Korean Defense Veterans.

Whereas, on June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded the Republic of Korea with
        approximately 135,000 troops, starting the Korean War;
Whereas nearly 1,800,000 members of the United States Armed Forces served along
        the armed forces of the Republic of Korea and 20 other allied nations
        under the United Nations Command to defend freedom and democracy on the
        Korean Peninsula;
Whereas the United States suffered 36,574 dead and 103,284 wounded during the
        Korean War in some of the most horrific conditions in the history of
        warfare;
Whereas 73 years have passed since the signing of the cease-fire agreement at
        Panmunjom on July 27, 1953, and the Korean Peninsula still technically
        remains in a state of war;
Whereas, members of the United States Armed Forces, including approximately
        25,000 members today, have served in South Korea ever since, continuing
        to protect democracy, and hundreds of these brave servicemembers have
        tragically perished in their efforts to preserve the armistice;
Whereas veterans who performed such service are known as ``Korean Defense
        Veterans'';
Whereas the Korean War has become a forgotten war for many Americans;
Whereas many members of the Armed Forces who fought in the Korean War returned
        home without the fanfare that greeted the heroes of World Wars I and II;
Whereas veterans of the Korean War and Korean Defense Veterans deserve to be
        recognized by all Americans for their honorable service, during and
        after the Korean War, in defense of democracy and freedom; and
Whereas the people of the United States and the Republic of Korea are eternally
        grateful to the veterans of the Korean War and Korean Defense Veterans:
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the
importance of the contributions and sacrifices made by the veterans of
the Korean War and Korean Defense Veterans.
                                 <all>
