Washington, D.C. got a new memorial in 1995, when the Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated on July 27. It was exactly how many years to the day since the armistice that ended the war was signed?

The Korean War Armistice, signed on July 27, 1953, "established a committee of representatives from neutral countries to decide the fate of the thousands of prisoners of war on both sides," as described by History.com. And the resulting agreement also drew a new border between North and South Korea.
