Korean War Veterans Armistice Day gains annual recognition in New York City Council

The New York City Council is expected to begin recognizing Korean War Veterans Armistice Day annually starting this month following the approval of a resolution sponsored by Queens Council Member Robert Holden.

Holden’s approved resolution honors those who served and died in the Korean War every year on July 27 — the landmark day in history when the three-year conflict ended in 1953. Holden says his legislation serves to remember those veterans who are often forgotten.
