During the Korean War (1950-1953), Canadian troops were
dispatched to help protect the freedom of South Korea.
Of the 26,791 troops, 516 lost their lives and 1552 were
injured. Koreans will never forget their noble sacrifice.
Attached to these Rose of Sharon plants
(the national flower of Korea) are 516 red ribbons
commemorating and honouring the courage of all Canadian
soldiers. Thank you, Canada.
