For U.S.  VETERANS ONLY “http://mpva.sendmall.co.kr/apply/Application%20form.doc”

The above URL address is the place to request a letter of appreciation for yourself or any family member who served in the Korean War. It is a very respectful gesture and offer from the President of Korea to our Korean War Veterans.

A small footnote to history; on the memorial wall in one of the hallways at the VA in Tucson, there is a newspaper article about a young 19 year old soldier who could not get health care at the local VA, because  the conflict in Korea was not a declared war! Hard to imagine is it not?  But then us Vietnam Veterans were not allowed to join particular VFW’s either, as we were not veterans of a Foreign (Declared) War.  How far we have come.
