KCC believes The United States of America has made strenuous endeavors for accomplishing world peace. Especially the Korean War 6.25 was dispatched to protect peace and freedom. Total casualties of 137,000 soldiers including more than 36,900 wounded soldiers will never be forgotten. Their sacrifice will be cherished forever.

KCC, Korean Americans wish Korean-American relationship to be fruitful and stronger more than ever. Korean-Americans appreciation to the U.S. Congress that the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004 has recently been passed in the House of Representatives and sending many thanks to the persistent endeavors of the Congress for the North Korean Freedom Act of 2003.
