On July 25, 2015
Chapter 189 of the Korean War Veterans
Association will hold their monthly meeting at
the John Mealy Memorial VFW Post in Port Orange,

This
month's program was arranged by In-Sook Yum Forget
for the South Korean Ambassador. The purpose
of the meeting will be the awarding of the highest
medal given to foreign defenders of South Koreas
freedom who served between June 25, 1950 and July
27, 1953. Family and friends are welcome to come and
witness the presentation of these medals. At 12:00 noon an authentic

ceremony will begin. A representing the South Korean
Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs will be
present from the Consul Generals Office in Atlanta,

During the past several
months the Chapter has been presenting the "Tell
America" Program to a number of organizations. If
you know an organization that might want to learn
about the history of the Korean War please contact
Bob McGuire at we would be pleased to set up a
presentation.
In
recent days we have become aware that their are
Veterans in our community that have recently died
and have not been provided with an opportunity to
receive a military ceremony in their memory.
Chapter 189 of the KWVA does not
think that this is proper, and have decided to
present a small final military ceremony for any
Veteran that requests it. If you know of a Veteran that needs a
final military ceremony please contact Bob McGuire
at 386.323.6401 and we will attempt to get that
request fulfilled.
