The resolution commemorates the 70th anniversary of the armistice that ended the Korean War on July 27, 1953. It highlights the war's origins, beginning with the invasion of the Republic of Korea by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on June 25, 1950, and the subsequent involvement of the United Nations, which formed a coalition of 22 countries, primarily led by the United States. The resolution notes the significant sacrifices made during the conflict, including the deaths of over 33,000 American soldiers and the service of more than 191,000 New Jersey residents, of whom 836 were killed or missing in action.

In recognizing this anniversary, the resolution aims to honor the sacrifices made during the Korean War and the enduring alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea, established through shared hardship. It also addresses the war's historical context, referring to it as the "forgotten war" due to its relative lack of attention compared to other conflicts. The resolution mandates that copies be sent to relevant military and veteran associations in New Jersey, emphasizing the importance of remembering and acknowledging the contributions of those who served.
