                     TRIBUTE TO KOREAN WAR VETERANS

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GINNY BROWN-WAITE

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 3, 2003

  Ms. GINNY BROWN-WAITE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor 
the Korean War Veterans Citrus Chapter 192 and all the brave men and 
women that answered the call to duty during the Korean War.
  Sunday, July 27 commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the Armistice 
signing that officially ended hostilities in the war torn nation.
  This conflict enlisted the services of 6.8 million American men and 
women between 1950 and 1955. Despite the enormity of this effort, many 
who served regrettably feel that their sacrifice has been forgotten by 
a nation in the murky fog of time.
  I commend the Veterans of Citrus County 192 for their efforts to 
memorialize their comrades in arms who paid the ultimate sacrifice. On 
Saturday, July 26 the Korean War memorial will be dedicated at the 
Citrus County Court House. This eloquent marker will serve as a 
reminder to our nation of the surviving Korean War Veterans, as well as 
the POWs and MIAs that never returned.
