SUMMARY OF BILL
REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE

BRIEF RATIONALE
The Korean War was a conflict that claimed the lives of many Americans troops. Since the war was fought from 1950 to 1953, many of these surviving veterans are now elderly and deserve to be honored for their courage and sacrifice before they pass away. The bill should be passed to recognize their service.
