Attention Korean War Veterans - It is now legal for Korean War Veterans to wear the medal issued by South Korea to U.S. Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen. Because at the time it was not legal to wear the medal many U.S. Servicemen did not receive it. If you served in the territory of Korea during the war (June 25th, 1950 – July 27th, 1953) and you would like to receive the medal contact your local Congressman.
