Minnesota: Korean War remembrance event starts Sunday

From Albert Lea Tribune: Korean War remembrance event starts Sunday
Minnesota has established July 27 of each year as the Korean War Armistice Day. Locally, veterans will recognize the day with a breakfast held this weekend and on July 24. Veterans are organizing a photo display from Freeborn County Korean War era veterans who were assigned to military units throughout the world in any branch of service in support of military operations between 1950 and 1960.

The display will be shown starting Sunday with a breakfast at the American Legion hosted by Post No. 447 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The display will continue July 24 with a breakfast hosted by American Legion Post 56. The breakfasts are open to the public, and the menu includes pancakes, eggs, sausage, potatoes, fruit, juice and coffee. Cost is $6 and children under the age of 6 are free.

Ellendale Days is also being held this weekend. Look to Page 8 of this issue for a feature and a full schedule of events.
