A handful of remaining Korean War veterans assembled under sunny skies to mark the anniversary of the cease fire.
Vets from both Canada and the US wore their uniforms to participate in the solemn ceremony at the Korean War Memorial at Dieppe Park.
Wreaths were laid by various dignitaries and several of the vets.
A representative of Windsor's Korean community, M-J Kim, thanked the veterans for freeing his homeland.
Ruth Lavoie worked at the military hospital in BC patching up the wounded soldiers.

"An altogether different war" remembered Lavoie, "Different ammunition, different landmines altogether different. Far worse, far more sophisticated than in the second world war"
Jim Chapman was from Windsor, but signed up with the US Army.
"Cold in the winter and muddy and we were driving truckloads of ammo down roads you couldn't get through" Chapman says of the miserable conditions, "It was cold and the weather never quit"
Chapman commented that the TV show MASH didn't really represent what the war was like.
He was in a MASH unit and never saw the drinking and carrying on portrayed by the show.
The ceremony marked the 64th anniversary of the end of hostilities.
