Lest We Forget / 3 The Royal Canadian Legion Prince Edward Island Command This year marks the 60th Anniversary of the armistice that ended the active fighting in the Korean War and the 50th Anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and South Korea. 2013 is the Year of the Korean War Veteran - Canada proudly remembers the heroes of the Korean War and their brave fight to uphold freedom, democracy and the rule of law. It is our duty to pay tribute to the more than 26,000 Canadian men and women in uniform who came to the aid of South Korea during the Korean War, and in particular the 516 Canadians who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend the values of peace and freedom. This year we pay them tribute and prove that this chapter of our history has not been, and will not be forgotten. Once again, Prince Edward Island Command of The Royal Canadian Legion, its members, staff, and Ladies’ Auxiliary, extend our thanks to all who provided assistance in making this project a great success. We are grateful to all who provided pictures and information of our Veterans. Through the efforts of this booklet, our organization will continue its strong support in the community to develop and fund programs for our Veterans, seniors and youth. We Will Remember Them.
