Hall of Honor to mark 60th anniversary of the Korean Armistice

NEW WINDSOR — The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor will commemorate the 60th anniversary of end of the fighting in Korea at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 27.

The program will present written recollections and thoughts of Korean War Purple Heart recipients and will be followed by a screening of the documentary film “Chosin.” This film, produced by two Marine veterans, is a tribute to the survivors of the Chosin Campaign of 1950 and to all Korean veterans. It recalls the sacrifices and the triumphs of this war and is a powerful experience for all who have seen it.
