Private Member's Motion
Knowing that the present is built on the foundations of the past, Senator Martin knows that she would not be here today had it not been for the sacrifices of Canadians and others during the Korean War. Her commitment to the veterans is, therefore, unwavering. In April 2010, Senator Martin introduced a Private Member’s Motion to acknowledge and endorse July 27th annually as National Korean War Veterans Day. Then on June 8th, it passed unanimously in the Senate Chamber.
Special Feature
On April 21, 2012, the ashes of Archie Hearsey, a Korean War veteran, was sent to Korea for burial at his request.
