Korean Service Patch — Embroidered Patch
Service in the Forgotten War
The Korean Service Medal recognizes military service in the Korean Theater between June 27, 1950, and July 27, 1954 — a period that encompassed some of the most savage fighting American forces have ever experienced. This patch honors every service member who served in Korea during those three years of brutal combat.
The Korean Service Medal was established on November 8, 1950, to recognize service members who served in the Korean Theater of Operations during the Korean War. The medal bears campaign stars for participation in specific engagements, and many veterans wear multiple stars representing battles that have become legendary in American military history — the Pusan Perimeter, the Inchon Landing, the Chosin Reservoir, and the grinding stalemate along the 38th Parallel. Over 1.8 million Americans served in the Korean Theater, and the Korean Service Medal is their proof of service in a war that tested the American military in ways that still resonate today.
Perfect For:
Korean War veterans, Korean Service Medal holders, Korean Theater veterans, military campaign medal collectors, forgotten war commemorators, and veteran display enthusiasts
Korea. Service recognized. Sacrifice remembered.
