gene grossenburg peace medal

Over 450 South Dakota Korean Veterans received a special honor last Tuesday. It’s gratitude that some say is long overdue.

At a ceremony last Tuesday afternoon in the State Capitol and in numerous communities throughout South Dakota, veterans were recognized for their service during the Korean War and were presented the Korean Ambassador Peace Medal.

“Jan. 12, 2016, will be remembered for our great heroes from what has been called the Forgotten War,” said Larry Zimmerman, Secretary of the South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs. “It was an honor to be able to place the medal on one of these heroes, but also to know that so many gave so much during that war.”

“I thank the South Korean Government and our Governor for the great day and recognition of such a wonderful group of veterans,” said Zimmerman.
