.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.
