The kingdom of Belgium was one of the nations that supplied a battalion (Belgian United Nations Command) at the time of the Korean War. This Belgian volunteer corps for Korea was placed under American command. 106 Belgian soldiers were killed, as well as 478 were injured.
During the Korean War, about 1.8 million Americans answered the call to serve and defend the freedoms and universal values that the individuals of South Korea appreciate Today.
The people have faced various challenges, often outnumbered by the enemy, facing extreme heat and cold while fighting in the mountains and valleys as well as in the rice paddies and rocky terrain of the Korean Peninsula.
Over 36,000 of that American service were killed in action, along with over 7,000 Korean Augmentation to the United States Army soldiers that fought with the United States Armed Forces. They have sacrificed everything to defend freedom and democracy on the Peninsula.
