State Rep. Tina Davis (D-Bucks) is inviting Korean War veterans from her district to sign up through her office for a recognition ceremony set for 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20 at the Parkside Place Complex in Upper Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County, a release from the state representative’s office said last week.
“Each eligible veteran attending will be recognized by the ambassador of South Korea and presented with a medal and citation in recognition of his or her service and sacrifice in the Korean War,” Davis said. “It is an opportunity that I don’t want our local veterans to miss.”
