Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) applauded the recent passage of legislation, H.R. 1475, the Korean War Veterans Memorial Wall of Remembrance Act, to create a wall of remembrance at the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the National Mall. The legislation passed the U.S. House of Representatives last week and was signed by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan yesterday. It now heads to the President’s desk to be signed into law. Latta is a cosponsor of the legislation.  
 
“More than 36,000 Americans lost their lives in the conflict which is often called the ‘Forgotten War’,” said Latta. “Those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country should never be forgotten. Expanding the memorial in Washington to include recognition of these individuals will finally ensure their names — and their service — will be permanently represented and remembered.”
