Chapter Creed

We, the members of the General Walton H. Walker Chapter of the Korean War Veterans Association, are the living representatives of all the Americans who gave their lives in Korea. As members we are dedicated to also represent the known American Prisoners of War that were never returned after the war, and the American Service Personnel still listed as Missing in Action in the Korean War.

Our Purpose is:

1. To motivate patriotism amongst the American People and to raise their awareness of the Korean War and those who served in it.

2. To render help and support to all the wounded and disabled American Veterans of the Korean War.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Chapter is to organize, promote and maintain, for benevolent and charitable purposes, an association of persons who have seen honorable service during the Korean War; to preserve memories and incidents of our association and to aid needy association members and their wives and children, and widows and children of persons who were members at the time of their deaths, and to present Korean War experiences to students and others to relate the fact that "Freedom Is Not Free."
