                                 ______
                                 

                            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:

deceased.
