6 West Michigan veterans awarded Korean Ambassador for Peace Medal for Korean War service.

Six veterans from West Michigan were awarded the Korean Ambassador for Peace Medal in Portage, recognizing their service during the Korean War (1950-1953). The ceremony, hosted by the Lucinda Hinsdale Stone Chapter of the NSDAR, aimed to honor their sacrifices, as many Korean War veterans did not receive a proper welcome home. The medal, initially for veterans who returned to South Korea, now includes those unable to make the journey.
