I knew we had memorials to the brave soldiers that fought for our country all around that part of Albany but I never saw them in person or took the time to read what each one was for. Today for Saturday’s spots, I’m going to focus on the Korean War memorial site on Madison Ave right next to the NYS Museum.
 and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (supported by China and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic). This war created a divide in the country of Korea with the North creating a communist government and the South creating a capitalist one. The war began when North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950. With the help of the United States as well as the United Nations, South Korea was able to repel the invasion. The war ended in 1953 with the signing of an agreement that created the Korean Demilitarized Zone, a kind of buffer zone between the two parts of the separated country.</p>
