SCRANTON, Pa. — Some of our hometown heroes were honored in Scranton on Wednesday for their service in America's so-called forgotten war.
The ceremony was held at the Gino J. Merli Veterans Center.
Congressman Matt Cartwright handed out Ambassador for Peace Medals to a total of eight local Korean War veterans.
The Ambassador for Peace Medal is a commemorative medal as an expression of appreciation from the Korean government to American servicemen and women who served in the Korean War.
