The FEBC raised the money via a livestreamed fundraising event on Aug. 17, in which the Foundation’s members also participated. The Wall of Remembrance will be a permanent addition to the Korean War Veterans Memorial. It will include the names of 36,574 American soldiers, as well as more than 7,200 members of the Korean Augmentation to the United States Army, who gave their lives to defend the people of South Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War. The Wall is expected to be completed by summer 2022. Courtesy of FEBC-Korea
