On the recordJune 26, 2020
Yesterday marked the 70th anniversary of the Korean war. On June 25, 1950, at 4 a.m., the North Korean army mercilessly crossed the 38th parallel with 135,000 troops to begin the invasion of the South. This anniversary is an opportunity to especially remember the 326,863 Americans who served and the 36,574 who died to successfully stop communist imperialism. I am grateful that President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump provided a wreath at the extraordinary Korean War Veterans Memorial on The Mall yesterday in Washington. There is no greater contrast between the blessings of democratic capitalism, with South Korea being one of the world's wealthiest nations as North Korea's totalitarian socialist regime has mass poverty. Korea is well represented in Washington by Ambassador Lee Soo-hyuck, and Korean Americans are valued citizens. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
