President Obama and other senior government and South Korean officials spoke at an event marking the 60th anniversary of the signing of the armistice ending the Korean War July 27, 1953. Combat ended with the signing of the armistice, however communist North Korea never signed a formal peace treaty. At this event, President Obama declared victory in what had often been called the “forgotten war.” The ceremony, called “Heroes Remembered,” included the laying of wreaths at the Korean War Memorial, prayers, a video montage, and music by the U.S. Army Chorus and “The President’s Own” Marine Band. close
