The resolution commemorates the 71st 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, including the United States, to support South Korea. The resolution notes the significant sacrifices made during the conflict, including the service of over 1.7 million American soldiers, with more than 33,000 fatalities and over 100,000 injuries, as well as the contributions of New Jersey residents, of whom 836 were killed or missing in action.

In recognizing the anniversary, the resolution emphasizes the lasting impact of the Korean War and the establishment of a mutual defense treaty between the United States and South Korea, which solidified their alliance. It also acknowledges the war's tragic toll, with an estimated 2.5 million deaths, while reflecting on its status as the "forgotten war" due to the relative lack of attention it has received compared to other conflicts. The resolution calls for copies to be sent to relevant military and veteran associations in New Jersey, ensuring that the sacrifices of those who served are remembered.
