Seeking veterans who have served in Korea during the Korean War and have not received their Ambassador for Peace Medal yet.
Are you a Korean War Veteran in Washington State?
Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Seattle seeks Korean War veterans to honor with the Ambassador for Peace Medal.
If you served in the Korean War, you may be eligible for the Ambassador for Peace Medal. This commemorative medal is an expression of appreciation from the Korean government to American service men and women who served in the Korean War.

The honor has since expanded to veterans who cannot travel long journey to Korea.
To be eligible, veterans must have served during the Korean War from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953.
