National Korean War Armistice Day marks the armistice signed on July 27, 1953, ending active combat in the Korean War.
Nearly 37,000 American service members gave their lives, tens of thousands more were wounded, and many endured captivity as prisoners of war in defense of freedom on the Korean Peninsula.
Today, we honor their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering service, and remember all who answered the call of duty during the Korean War.
