Today, July 27th, marks National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, a day to remember and honor Korean War veterans.

The event also featured special Nanta performances by the Hwarang Youth Foundation, a photo exhibit of the Korean War by Lim In-Sik (South Korea’s first war photographer), and candle lighting at 7:27 pm.
