Sixty-six years ago, American troops were fighting on Korean soil as they came to the aid of South Korea in the Korean War. Today, those who served in the 1950's era war are able to unite and connect through the Korean War Veterans Association, and local veterans meet as part of the War Dogs Chapter 203. The KWVA was organized in 1985 with many goals in mind, one of which was to promote and establish war and other memorials commemorative of any person who served in the Korean War.
