Ambassador for Peace Medal

The Korean government has issued a commemorative medal to United States veterans who served from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, as well as to veterans who participated in UN peacekeeping operations until the end of 1955. This medal may be awarded to the veteran or posthumously to the veteran's next of kin. We invite eligible veterans and their families to apply for the medal with our office.  Once the medals are issued by the Korean Consulate, we will host a medal ceremony to honor veterans of the Korean War in our community. Questions can be directed to our office by calling 712-328-5797.
