Bob and Mavis Morris, along with their friend Alice Burns, just think President of the United States, Donald Trump, could be the man who finally gets an official end to the war between North and South Korea.

As they get ready to host their Korean War Memorial Service on Friday, July 27 at Walsh Park Bomaderry they have been keeping on eye on what President Trump says and does regarding the North Korea regime.

They just might see peace on the Korean peninsula in their lifetimes.

Mr Morris, who received an OBE in 2011 for his services to Korean veterans, thinks President Trump is a loud-mouth but added the action of the US president had woken the North Koreans up.

“He virtually threw everything on the road and said ‘if you are going to do that then go ahead with it and suffer the consequences’,” Mr Morris said.

Mr Morris agreed that President Trump had put out a strong challenge to the North Korean regime.

He said importantly the South Koreans had sat back and let it unfold.

“If that had not happened we would have continued to linger on through this terrible situation and the people of North Korea would continue to suffer,” he said.

“I think if there has ever been hope it's now.”

The 86-year-old Mr Morris thinks and hopes he will see peace between the two Koreas in his lifetime.

“It's the nearest thing to hope that I have ever seen,” he said

The year Mr Morris turned 21-year there was an armistice but it has never been ratified and North and South technically remain at war.

Secretary of the Korean War Veterans Association of NSW and local resident Mrs Burns thinks North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is much better to deal with than his father Kim Jong-il.

“I also think his advisors are also so much better,” Mrs Burns said

“I think it will be a slow process and maybe peace won’t happen in my lifetime but I am hoping so.”

Mrs Burns also wants to see peace so the North Korean people won’t continue to suffer.

She said it was good the two nations (North Korean and the US) were making an effort to be involved in diplomacy.

Both Mrs Burns and Mr Morris are members of the Korean War Remembrance Committee.

Mrs Burns’ late husband Bruce was a Korean War veteran and member of the Fleet Air Arm Association.

Mrs Burns would love to finally see peace on the Korean peninsula.

Mavis Morris has been alongside her husband Bob for many years and knows just how important it would for the surviving veterans to finally see peace.

Mrs Morris agrees that President Trump could bring the two Koreas together.

“They joined together for the Winter Olympic Games and I think what we saw there with the North and South is a lesson of everyone,” she said.

Mrs Morris said stopping the nuclear tests was a vital part of the process.

Meanwhile, they extended an open invitation for the community to attend the July 27 service from 11am.

They would also like to thank the Bomaderry RSL Sub Branch and the Bomaderry Bowling Club.

“We would not be able to hold it (the memorial service) without them,” Mrs Burns said.
