In April 2023, after petitioning as a combat-wounded Korean War veteran, I was invited to appear in the State Capitol Building in Albany.

In attendance were senators and various other politicians. They supported and voted my proposal to make April 26 a day of recognition for Korean veterans in the state of New York. The following day, the attached letter was sent to President Biden requesting he follow the state's decision and expand it to a national day of recognition.

Attached is the letter.
