IN MEMORY OF THE FALLEN KOREAN WAR SOLDIERS FROM QUEENS
______
HON. GRACE MENG
of new york
in the house of representatives
Monday, July 27, 2015
Ms. MENG. Mr. Speaker, I rise with The Honorable Joseph Crowley, The
Honorable Steve Israel, The Honorable Hakeem Jeffries, The Honorable
Carolyn Maloney, and The Honorable Gregory Meeks, on the 62nd
anniversary of the Korean War Armistice, to recognize the brave
soldiers from Queens who were killed or missing in action during the
Korean War. Many of these valiant soldiers are memorialized on a statue
in Kissena Park, in my district.
The Korean War was a grueling conflict that brought the Cold War into
Asia. The Korean War lasted three years, and approximately five million
soldiers and civilians were killed.
In this tragic three-year period, one hundred and eighty-three
soldiers from Queens died to protect our country and the democratic
ideals that we hold dear. It is important to honor their memory and
ensure their sacrifices are not forgotten. I wish to submit their names
for the Congressional Record:
