The Korean War Ex-POW Association was formed in 1976 as a non-profit organization. We are the only association dedicated to representing all Korean War Ex-POWs from the United Nations who joined in the war. The association was formed to to provide fellowship and support, assist fellow veterans and spouses with veterans issues, and to educate the public by bringing as much attention and honor to the Korean War POWs. We also ensure that those still Missing in Action are not forgotten and to honor those who died in Prisioner of War camps in North Korea.

We have over 2,000 members, including over 1,750 POWs, representing veterans from the United States, Great Britain, France, Ireland, Australia, Philippines, Korea, Turkey, Mexico, Belgium, Canada, and South Africa.

The Korean War Ex-P.O.W. Association is a 501(c)(19) tax exempt veterans organization.
