Charles B. Rangel, 23-term New York congressman and first African-American chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, receives the Van Fleet Award on behalf of all U.S Korean War Veterans. In his dedication speech, Ambassador Won-Sam Chang, Consul General of the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea In New York, describes Congressman Rangel as a “decorated hero of the Korean war”, noting that he earned a bronze star for valor and a purple heart for his heroic service at the Battle of Kunu-ri in November 1950, when he led a group of his fellow soldiers from behind enemy lines. Ambassador Chang concludes by saying, “I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the government and the people of Korea to express my profound gratitude to all U.S. Korean War veterans for their courageous service and noble sacrifice.”
