ATTENTION ALL KOREAN WAR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES!!! (Deadline is August 23, 2014) The Embassy of the Republic of South Korea is seeking Korean War Veterans to honor with the Ambassador for Peace Medal. Korean War Veterans (1950-1953), may be eligible for the Korean Ambassador Peace Medal. The medal is an expression of appreciation from the Korean government to US service men and women who served in the Korean conflict. The Korean American Peace Medal may be awarded posthumously. The next of kin, such as the spouse or descendants, may receive the Korean Ambassador Peace Medal on behalf of a deceased Veteran. The deadline for applying for the medal is August 23, 2014. That is a very short window of time. If you, or anyone you know, served in Korea from June, 1950 through July, 1953, please see that they are aware of the medal. I first learned about this yesterday. We need to spread the word fast. To apply, do a Google search for Korean Ambassador Peace Medal and you should be able to find the nearest Koreans Consults form to apply.
