KOREANS REMEMBER CANADIAN SACRIFICES

The Korean War is often referred to as the “Forgotten War.” However, it is not true of Koreans, who have never forgotten the war and celebrate every June to remember the war and the allies who helped us during it.

The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950 after the invasion of the Republic of Korea (ROK) by North Korea. In the first few months, the ROK was overwhelmed by the North Korean forces, but fought back with the support of 22 states, including Canada, acting under the flag of the United Nations.
