KOREAN WAR VETS REMEMBERED

A ceremony in downtown Bakersfield has paid tribute to those lost in “The Forgotten War”. Two wreathes were placed at the Korean War Memorial in Jastro Park Monday by veterans and a delegation from our sister city Bucheon, South Korea. The event also featured a 21-gun salute.

68 Kern County residents lost their lives in the conflict while 8,000 of those vets live here now.
