The ‘Little Angels of Korea’ are planning to visit the 16 nations who sent troops to the Korean War to defend the peace and freedom of the Korean people from North Korea’s invasion.

The Little Angels will start their performing arts tour in Washington D.C., in June 2010, the year of the 60th Anniversary of the Korean War. Washington, D.C. is the place where many soldiers who fought and died in the Korean War are buried in the Arlington National Cemetery, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  It is also the location of the Korean War Memorial Park, Capitol Hill, and the U.S. Congress, and is home to many government organizations. Therefore, it is the most logical place to have the kick-off of the 60th Anniversary Memorial Project.

The next city will be Norfolk (VA), where the General Douglas MacArthur Memorial is located. General Douglas MacArthur is the great American hero who commanded the UN troops in the Korean War.
