The Official Party at the Ed DeFore Sports Complex, Macon, Georgia listens as the Consul General, The Republic of Korea speaks to the attendees from across the entire State of Georgia. Kwang-jae Lee spoke of the U.S.A.s involvement in the Korean War. He also reminded us that the Republic of Korea has stood by our Country in every War and Conflict since the Korean War. Mr. Lee expressed his gratitude on behalf of his Country at this Dedication Ceremony. 
The Electronic and Print Media covered the unveiling of the "Korean War Veterans Highway Marker." Additionally the Republic of Korea assisted with funding of three Memorial Markers which will be erected on U. S. Highway 80 which runs through Georgia. The Markers will be installed near the beginning of this Highway at Tybee Island, East of Savannah, one in Macon, Georgia, near U. S. Highway 80 and the third marker near Fort Benning, Columbus, Georgia as U. S. Highway 80 crosses into Alabama. 
The Official Program for this event also contained "A Resolution" issued by the State of Georgia in connection with this Dedication and the establishment of U. S. Highway 80 as the "Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway." The Resolution stated that hundreds of thousands of men and women served in the Korean War and over 34,000 died and over 100,000 were wounded in combat.
This Dedication and establishment of U. S. Highway 80 as the Memorial Highway is viewed as a very appropriate and fitting Momument to these brave Men and Women who served their Country with Valor and Honor.
