In the United States, there is no official federal holiday specifically named "Korean Veterans Day." Instead, veterans of the Korean War are honored on National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, which is observed annually on July 27. This date commemorates the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement in 1953, which brought a ceasefire to the hostilities of the Korean War.
The keyword term "Korean Veterans Day" functions as a noun phrase, which is the main subject of the query. Within this phrase, "Korean" is an adjective modifying "Veterans," and "Veterans Day" acts as a compound noun. While National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day is a day of observance proclaimed by the President, it is distinct from the national public holiday, Veterans Day, which occurs on November 11. Veterans Day honors all American military veterans, including those who served in the Korean War. In South Korea, veterans and all who died in military service are honored on Memorial Day (Hyeonchungil) on June 6.
Therefore, while the specific phrase "Korean Veterans Day" is commonly used, the official U.S. observance is on July 27 to mark the armistice. Korean War veterans are also fully included in the broader national observances on November 11. The distinction is between a specific recognition of an armistice and a general day of honor for all who have served in the armed forces.
