Korean War Veterans Attend Reunion Event Honoring Veterans Known as 'The Chosin Few' That Participated in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir  

ARLINGTON, Va., 13 de oct. de 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesterday, StarKist Co. of Reston, VA, along with its parent company, Dongwon of Seoul, South Korea, was tremendously proud to sponsor the Chosin Few Gala for 15 heroic Korean War veterans and their families. This event is part of the larger National Chosin Few Reunion, which took place at the Hilton Arlington National Landing from October 9-13, 2024.

"StarKist is deeply honored to once again recognize the brave Korean War veterans at the Chosin Few Gala this year," said Young Choi, President and CEO of StarKist Co. "The courage they displayed in 1950 at the Chosin Reservoir, fighting for the freedom of both the U.S. and South Korea, is truly inspiring. We remain profoundly grateful for their service, and it is a privilege for us as a company to be able to express our heartfelt thanks for their sacrifice."

StarKist's dedication to honoring Korean War veterans dates back more than a decade and continued this past weekend through its ongoing partnership with The Chosin Few, a national group of veterans who bravely fought in the historic Battle of Chosin Reservoir.
