The Korean Armistice Agreement, signed on July 27, 1953, marked the end of active hostilities in the Korean War. This agreement was signed by representatives from the United States, North Korea, and China, and it established the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a buffer zone between North and South Korea.

Veteran Participation Reports (VPRs) are often used by organizations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) to document and commemorate the service of veterans on significant dates, including the anniversary of the Korean Armistice.
