Special Message to Korean War Veterans and Families

Korean War Veterans and Families

Hello everyone,

Thank you for being here today.

​

We’ve come together to remember a very important day:

June 25, 1950.

​

That’s when the Korean War began.

It was a time filled with fear, pain, and loss

but also with incredible courage and sacrifice.

​

Today, we honor those who fought and never came home,

and those who are still with us our living heroes.

​

Your service changed the course of history,

and we will never forget what you did.

​

We also want to recognize

the families spouses, children, and loved ones

who stood by them.

​

You carried the weight of war in your own way,

and your strength means just as much.

​

Because of your sacrifice,

Korea today is a free and thriving country.

​

Because of your love and service,

generations of Korean Americans now live with pride and hope.

​

And I especially want to thank, as well,

Gina Wilson and staff,

for all the effort and hard work in preparing today’s event.

Your dedication made this gathering possible.

​

So from the bottom of our hearts:

Thank you.

​

We remember you.

And we will always honor you.

​

Thank you for your service!
