It will be the first time this group of veterans will see the remodeled Korean War Memorial that now includes stone engravings of the veterans that paid the ultimate sacrifice in Korea.
Army veteran Conrad Nowak said, “I have a couple of buddies I’m going to look up when I get there that will be on the wall.”

The community is invited to Spartanburg Downtown Airport to welcome them back home when they land.
