NATIONAL KOREAN WAR VETERANS ARMISTICE DAY

National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day commemorates the end of the Korean War on July 27, 1953, and those who served during this often forgotten war.

On June 25, 1950, the first war of the Cold War-era erupted when North Korean forces crossed the border into South Korea. The war would last three years, involving troops from around the globe, and costing millions of lives.

Pre-War History
Unlike World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and The War on Terror, the Korean War’s complexity, setting, and timing cause history to gloss over the war. For centuries, Japan and China laid claim on Korea. In more modern history, Japan annexed Korea, and following World War II, the Allied forces liberated Korea, dividing it into separate occupied zones. The dividing line was named the 38th parallel, creating a Communist North Korea and a South Korean republic.

Brief New Jersey History
The history of New Jersey begins When Giovanni Da Verrazzano first explored the shores of the Atlantic coastal lands that included what we now consider to be New Jersey. Da Verrazzano discovered diverse communities of people who were later called the Delaware Indians.

In 1660, the Dutch founded New Jersey’s first European settlement, but in 1664 the British took control. At this time, the land was divided into half and named New Jersey after the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel. Leading up the American Revolution, the colony as a whole was equally divided in its loyalties to the crown. Colonists who remained undecided were just as likely to support the rebel cause as they were to support the king. The same applied to colonists in New Jersey.

New Jersey was centrally located among the thirteen colonies, prompting more battles than any other state during the Revolutionary War. After the Revolutionary war New Jersey was the third state to enter the union. Interestingly, it was also the first state to sign the Bill of Rights.
