Albuquerque Chapter #1 of New Mexico
On July 27th, 2003 a beautiful ceremony was held at our War Memorial Shrine
honoring the 50th Anniversary of the Korean Truce. Several individuals and
organizations made this event possible. Bernard “Ski” Wisniewski, our KWVA
president and our Color Guard worked so hard and looked so good. We had a
beautiful American Flag presented to us. There were spiritual and touching
words honoring the Veterans now serving and those that we have lost.
