4. DMZ Vets "Tour of Duty" Reunion - Memorial Service

Our Memorial Day 2005 Newsletter featured a notice by Mark Hartford and his heartfelt intent to honor fellow DMZ Vets.

Mark drew a lot of attention from our readers and his concept has expanded to include a Reunion and a Veterans Day 2006 ceremony at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C

introducing legislation to obtain what has become the KDSM - Korea Defense Service Medal.
