The event will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Historic Courthouse 3rd Floor Ballroom in Provo.

“We honor veterans every day. All throughout the year. But with the 250th legacy, we want to honor our constitution, flag and under that we want to make sure that our veterans get recognized,” Post 13 member and former American Legion Vice Commander Randy Edwards said. “As they’re getting older we want to make sure that they are recognized and honored throughout our community.”

Edwards said the Korean War is an unknown war for many, and as its veterans continue to age, Post 13 wants to ensure they are given the proper respect. The honorees, each members of Post 13, will receive a medal and an honorary lifetime membership in American Legion.

Several prominent American Legion leaders will be in attendance, including National Commander Dan Wiley.

“Just come,” Edwards said. “There’s no fee or anything. We just want to get as many people there as we can to recognize our Korean veterans.”
