. 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.
