Late U.S. captain named Korean War hero of Sept.

South Korea's Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs has designated a late U.S. Army captain as the Korean War Hero for the month of September. The announcement was made on Monday in Seoul to honor the officer's service and contributions during the conflict.

This recognition is part of an ongoing initiative by the South Korean government to commemorate foreign veterans who played significant roles in the Korean War. The selection highlights the continued bilateral focus on honoring historical military alliances and the sacrifices made by U.S. personnel during the 1950-1953 war.
