The Korean War memorial service was held in Olympia, Washington in June 20th, 2009 at 10:30 AM. It is The 59th Anniversary. About 100 people gathered this ceremony includes Korea war veterans and Korean American Community Leaders. Consul General Lee Ha Ryong appreciated to the Korea war veterans for their sacrifices and love for South Korea and peace of the world.

With the entire scary North Korea's Nuke Tests and Ballistic Missile test, the 59th anniversary of memorial service recalled history of On November 29, 1952, U.S. President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower fulfilled a campaign promise by going to Korea to find out what could be done to end the conflict. the 6·25 war was happend under the guise of a counter-attack, the North Korean Army struck in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, June 25, 1950, crossing the 38th parallel behind a firestorm of artillery. Many of us will never forget the history of forgotten war like 6.25, 1950 war.

With the UN's acceptance of India's proposal for a Korean armistice, a cease-fire was established on July 27, 1953, by which time the front line was back around the proximity of the 38th parallel, and so a demilitarized zone (DMZ) was established around it, presently defended by North Korean troops on one side and by South Korean, American and UN troops on the other. The DMZ runs north of the parallel towards the east, and to the south as it travels west.

The site of the peace talks, Kaesong, the old capital of Korea, was part of the South before hostilities broke out but is now part of the North. North Korea and the United States signed the Armistice Agreement, with Syngman Rhee refusing to sign.

The 6.25 war (Korean war) was one of the last major wars where propeller-powered fighters such as the P-51 Mustang, F4U Corsair and aircraft carrier-based Hawker Sea Fury and Supermarine Seafire were used. Turbojet fighter aircraft such as F-80s and F9F Panthers came to dominate the skies, overwhelming North Korea’s propeller-driven Yakovlev Yak-9s and Lavochkin La-9s.
