Please read the following statement from Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, recognising Korean War Veterans Day:
“Today we are thinking of those who bravely served Canada under the United Nations Command in the Korean War between 1950-1953. 516 of those Canadians never returned home to their families and loved ones. We commemorate their sacrifices and thank all of the 26000 soldiers who fought for the principles of freedom and democracy.”
