There has been no peace treaty to end the Korean War only the Armistice to stop the shooting signed July 27, 1953. The United States spends tens of billions of dollars in military expenditures and maintains more than 28,500 troops in South Korea in harms way with no exit strategy in sight. No peace treaty has ever ended the war.With the recent trial of the journalists, nuclear test, US/ROK War Games and DPRK missile tests, it is clear that peace must become a priority in Korea. Come hear why you have not learned more about Korea, how you can make a difference and how normalized relationship and a lasting peace treaty will have a major impact on world peace. Be inspired by learning about the work of peacemakers all around the country and join them in lighting a candle for peace!
