SYNOPSIS OF THE KOREA WAR
On the 25 Jun 1950. North Korea unleashed a carefully planned attack across the 38th parallel into South Korea. The United Nations Security Council met in an emergency session and passed a resolution calling for assistance of all United Nations members to halt the North Korean invasion. On 27 June, the President of the United States, Harry S. Truman, ordered US Forces to come to the assistance of South Korea.
CANADIAN PARTICIPATION
On 28 June, Canada's House of Commons discussed developments in Korea and on the 5th of July, dispatched H.M.C. ships Cayuga, Athabaskan and Sioux to the Far East. On 21 Jul 426 Sqn RCAF was allotted to support U.N. Command. On 7 August, Prime Minister Louie St Laurent announced the formation and recruitment of the Canadian Army Special Force. The original components of the Special Forces included the second battalions of the Royal Canadian Regiment, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, and the Royal 22nd Regiment, C Squadron of Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), 2nd Field Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, 57th Canadian Independent Field Squadron, Royal Canadian Engineers, 25th Company Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, and No 25 Field Ambulance. We need to remember our Mechanical, Postal, dental, chaplains, Intelligence and all the support services that it takes to put a Brigade together. The person that was in charge of the Brigade was Brig John Rockingham.
On the 27 July 1953 a cease fire was declared and three more Canadian Regiments were dispatched to Korea to relieve the Infantry Regiments over a period of time. They were the Black Watch of Canada, the Canadian Guards and the Queens Own Rifles of Canada. These three Infantry Regiments relieved the PPCLI, the RCR's and the R22eR's who served their regiment and Country with Honour. The 2 Bn PPCLI were awarded the USA Presidential Citation for their courage and bravery at the Battle of Kapyong on the 21 Apr 1951.
26,791 Canadians served in the Korean War theatre of operations. Another 7,000 served between the cease fore of 27 Jul 1953 until Aug 1955.
CANADIAN CASUALTIES
There were 1,543 battle casualties, of which 309 were killed in action, 1,202 wounded and 32 survived as prisoners of war . In addition 207 died from various causes such as training accidents, lost at sea, illness and in transit such as the Canoe River Train Wreck which happened in route to Fort Lewis Washington on the 21 Nov 1950 where by 17 Gunners from Camp Shilo Manitoba lost their lives in route to Korea.

REST IN PEACE
We recognize all the 516 that lost their lives during the Korean War 1950 - 1955 but because we served after the cease fire we also recognize those that lost their lives after the cease fire 27 Jul 1953. Those that served after the Cease fire were awarded the Peacekeeping Medal and have been recognized in the Korean Book of Remembrance and the Wall of Remembrance in Brampton Ont.
Deck of Cards
It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, and land mines for some reason hadn't been heard. The young soldier knew it was Sunday, the holiest day of the week. As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk. Just then an army sergeant came in and said, "Why aren't you with the rest of the platoon?" The soldier replied, "I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with the Lord" The sergeant said, "Looks to me like you're going to play cards." The soldier said, "No, sir. You see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in this country, I've decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards." The sergeant asked in disbelief, "How will you do that?" "You see the Ace, Sergeant? It reminds me that there is only one God. The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments The Three represents the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. The Four stands for the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Five is for the five virgins there were ten but only five of them were glorified. The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and Earth. The Seven is for the day God rested after making His Creation. The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives -- the eight people God spared from the flood that destroyed the Earth. The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy.. He cleansed ten, but nine never thanked Him. The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on tablets made of stone. The Jack is a reminder of Satan, one of God's first angels, but he got kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker of eternal hell. The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary. The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings. When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one for every day of the year. There are a total of 52 cards in a deck; each is a week - 52 weeks in a year. The four suits represent the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Each suit has thirteen cards -- there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter . So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull out this old deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful for." The sergeant just stood there. After a minute, with tears in his eyes and pain in his heart, he said, "Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?" Please let this be a reminder and take time to pray for all of our soldiers who are being sent away, putting their lives on the line fighting Prayer for the Military. Please keep the wheel rolling. It will only take a few seconds of your time, but it'll be worth it to read on.... Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them. Bless them and their families. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
