How can someone who joined the army in 1955 and went to Japan after boot camp belong to the VFW as a Korean War vet if the Armistice was signed in 1953?

Pretty simple.
Okay, so the "Armistice" was signed in 1953, agreed. What did that mean though? It just meant a cease-fire. So guess what, troops remained. And still do till this day (2007). Therefore, to belong to VFW, as Korean War vet, technically is still possible. All VFW requires for eligibility is:
"If you have received a campaign medal for overseas service; have served 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days in Korea; or have ever received hostile fire or imminent danger pay, then you are eligible. "
So this person you're asking about probably did something like this:
Enlisted with one of the services as active duty, was deployed to Korea in 1955, and guarded the 38th parallel after the war during the armistice.
