Korean War Veterans Recognition Act of 2001

H.R. 2675, the Korean War Veterans Recognition Act of 2001, was a bipartisan proposal designed to honor those who served in the Korean War. The bill sought to officially add July 27, known as National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, to the list of specific days on which the American flag should be displayed.

For everyday citizens, this change would have encouraged the flying of the U.S. flag at homes, businesses, and government buildings every July 27 to commemorate the end of the conflict. While this specific version of the bill did not become law in 2001, its core objective was eventually achieved through similar legislation signed into law in 2009.
