Ko te 2020 US Tohu Toa kua whakawhiwhia ki te Honore Christine Ahn, "mo te mahi maia ki te whakamutu i te Pakanga Korea, ki te whakaora i ona patunga, me te whakatairanga i nga mahi a nga wahine ki te hanga i te rangimarie."
Ko Michael Knox, te Heamana o te Foundation, i mihi ki a Christine mo tana "arahi rangatira me tana mahi kaha ki te whakamutu i te Pakanga Korea me te aukati i te hoia i runga i te Korea. Ka mihi matou ki a koutou mahi whakapau kaha ki te whakauru atu i nga wahine ki te hanga rangimarie. Ko o whakapau kaha i roto i nga tau e rua kua hipa ka tino maioha ki Amerika me te ao. Mauruuru koe mo to mahi.
Hei whakautu mo tana kowhiringa, ka korero a Ms. Ahn, "Mo te taha o Women Cross DMZ me nga wahine maia katoa e mahi ana ki te whakamutu i te Pakanga Korea, ka mihi ki a koutou mo tenei honore nui. He mea tino nui ki te whiwhi i tenei tohu i te 70 tau o te Pakanga Korea - he pakanga i mate e wha miriona nga mate, i whakangaro i te 80 paiheneti o nga taone o Te Tai Tokerau, i wehea nga miriona o nga whanau Korea, me te wehewehe tonu i te iwi Korea e te De-militarized. Rohe (DMZ), i roto i te mooni kei roto i nga rohe tino hoia o te ao.
Ko te mea pouri, ko te Pakanga Korea e kiia nei ko te 'War Forgotten War' i Amerika, ahakoa kei te mau tonu ki tenei ra. Na te mea kaore te kawanatanga o Amerika e whakaae ki te whiriwhiri i tetahi whakaaetanga mo te rongo me te Te Tai Tokerau Korea i te wa e haere tonu ana te whawhai ki nga tangata harakore o Te Tai Tokerau me te aukati.
