The Republic of Korea has issued the medals in recognition of the veterans’ service in restoring peace and democracy to South Korea.
The presentations started in 2008 when former UN Peace Corps members returned to South Korea as part of the Revisit Program and the medals were presented as a memento.
Eighteen Ambassador for Peace Medal presentations have been hosted by the Mount Lawley-Inglewood branch in the last 12 months.
Veterans or family members of deceased veterans can lodge a request with the Honorary Consul for the Republic of Korea in Western Australia on 0409 782 905.
