Today, we pause to remember all Australians who served in the Korean War.

After the Second World War, the Korean Peninsula was divided into two separate zones along the 38th parallel. The south became the Republic of Korea, and the north became the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. There was growing tension between the two sides, and on 25 June 1950, North Korean forces invaded South Korea. In response, the United Nations called on countries to help defend South Korea and push the invasion back. Australia was one of 21 nations to provide support.

Korean Veterans’ Day marks the signing of the armistice in 1953, which ended the fighting in Korea.

Over three years, more than 18,000 personnel from the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force served in the Korean War.

Australia’s commitment to the Korean War was costly. More than 1,200 personnel were wounded, 340 lost their lives, 29 Australians were taken prisoner, and more than 40 personnel are missing in action, presumed dead.

Our veteran residents are always thrilled to have a visit from serving Australian Defence Force personnel, and last Wednesday at our Romani site in Murray Bridge, we were fortunate to have a number of RAAF Edinburgh personnel join us. It is heartwarming to hear the banter and wonderful conversations, while enjoying a delicious morning tea.

A heartfelt thank you to one of our incredibly talented Hospitality team members, Julie, who has transformed a wall in our Tobruk Memory Support Unit into a beautiful mural for our residents to enjoy.

The vibrant artwork not only brightens the space but also provides a wonderful focal point for residents, families and staff alike.

We're so fortunate to have team members who share their talents beyond their everyday roles. This mural is a wonderful example of the creativity, compassion and pride our staff bring to enriching the lives of those in our care.

Last week we had our striking Vietnam War memorial totems installed at our Murray Bridge Romani aged care facility.
Thanks to Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs for the grant enabling us to have these produced - as you can see, they look fantastic!
