2nd Korean War

On November 11, 2006, the Korean Cold War Veterans held a reunion in Washington, D.C. A ceremony was held in which the names of those veterans killed in action were read. A video of that ceremony can be found at http://youtu.be/ojro8QYyFEg. A plaque honoring all veterans who served in Korea since the armistice was signed on July 27, 1953 was presented with the goal of it becoming a permanent fixture at the Korean War Veterans Memorial by Veteran's Day, 2009. Unfortunately, as of July 21, 2013 there has been no congressional action to make this a reality. The video of that ceremony can be found at the above link.
