This resolution, introduced by Representative Owen, commemorates the anniversary of the end of the Korean War and honors the sacrifices made by Louisiana's veterans in the fight for democracy on the Korean Peninsula. It highlights the historical context of the war, noting the division of Korea post-World War II and the subsequent invasion of South Korea by North Korean forces in 1950. The resolution acknowledges the significant loss of life during the conflict, including over 36,000 American soldiers and 2,055 from Louisiana, who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

The House of Representatives of Louisiana expresses its gratitude to all Korean War veterans, particularly those from the state, for their courageous service. The resolution celebrates the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement on July 27, 1953, which ended hostilities and established a demilitarized zone that remains in place today. It concludes with a directive to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs and the Louisiana Korean War Veterans Association, ensuring that the contributions of these veterans are recognized and remembered.
