the Korean War began. Two days later, on June 27, 1950, President Truman ordered United States intervention. About 1.7 million US troops served in the the theater with more than 5 million world wide. Today, about 2 million veterans are still with us. We thank you for your service. (Pictured are soldiers from the U.S. 2nd Infantry Division near the Ch'ongch'on River).
