Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present another petition on behalf of the Canadians who fought in the Korean war, the Royal Canadian Legions 606 and 43, and constituents from my riding of Pickering—Scarborough East.
The petitioners call on the Canadian government to take the necessary steps for the Republic of Korea service medal to be recognized as a war medal of honour and awarded to Korean war veterans. The Korean war service medal was authorized in 1954 by the South Korean government for all United Nations troops who fought in Korea between June 25, 1950, and July 27, 1953.
