Stephentown Area Korean War Era Veterans To Be Recognized

The Veterans of the Stephentown Area invite all in the community to join with them in honoring the men and women of Stephentown who have served in the military. Ceremonies will be held at the Veterans Park in Stephentown at 11 am on Saturday, November 9.
This year we recognize in particular those veterans who served during the Korean War era.
Although the time of actual hostilities in the Korean War extended from June 27, 1950, to the cease fire on July 27, 1953, Congress has designated the official Korean War Era to extend to January 31, 1955, including a period of uneasy truce negotiations following hostilities. Among the Stephentown Veterans group are 19 members living who served during the Korean War era and seven members now deceased. Also to be honored are another 31 residents of Stephentown living and deceased who served during that era.
