(FOX40.COM) — Since Nov. 11, 1918, the United States and many of its allied nations have celebrated and remembered its veterans on a day that marked the end to one of the bloodiest wars of the 20th century.

This Veteran’s Day is significant beyond normality as it marks 70 years since the armistice of the Korean War on July 27, 1953, creating the 38th parallel and modern day North Korea and South Korea.

The Korean War lasted from 1950 to 1953 and was deemed the Forgotten War.

Today, there are around 1.1 million Korean War veterans alive, of the 6.8 million men and women that served during the course of the war, with the median age being 88, according to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.

This year’s Auburn Area Veteran’s Day Parade will be specifically aimed towards honoring Korean War veteran’s and will have several Korean War veterans serve as the parades Grand Marshalls

The parade will begin at 10:50 a.m. on Saturday at the corner of Lincoln Way and Cleveland Avenue.
