CENTER TWP — It’s sometimes referred to as “the Forgotten War.”
But according to Sharon Coyle, director for the VA Butler Healthcare system, Veterans Affairs “will always remember, honor and support all those who served.”
That’s precisely the reason the Butler VA hosted its first Korean War Recognition Day event Thursday morning at Abie Abraham VA Health Care Center in Center Township. The luncheon was packed with retired servicemen, most of whom were on the ground in Korea.
