Some veterans of the Korean War are finally getting the recognition they deserves. Saturday, the Arkansas Korean American Association commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Korean War. Organizers also dedicated the site for the Korean War Memorial. During the ceremony, Korean War Medals of Service were presented to the veterans. "It was given to most veterans when they came after the war, but a lot of them didn`t get them. I just happened to be one that got one," said veteran Isaac Webb. "I think I served my country...they say it`s the forgotten war, but I didn`t forget," said veteran George Kendrix.
