"6·25 미군 실종자들, 반드시 집으로"...첫 한미연합 추모행사 개최
Seoul Yongsan War Memorial Hall, which commemorates the painful history of Korea and the noble spirit of those who were sacrificed in it.
There are many names of Korean War veterans engraved on the hallway.
There is a table for Jeon-woo here.
A slice of lemon on the plate symbolizes Jeon-woo's pain and bitter fate,
salt symbolizes the tears of family and friends, and the wine glass upside down symbolizes that he cannot be with Jeon-woo.
The tilted chair means that there is no owner.
The cloth on this table is white.
This symbolizes that the soldiers sacrificed with a pure heart when their country called them.
The 1st ROK-U.S. Korean War US POW MIA Recognition Day
On September 21, a special memorial event was held at the Seoul Yongsan War Memorial Hall.
This event was led by the civic organization Remember Together 7697.
It is a place to commemorate U.S. soldiers who were captured or missing during the Korean War or who have not yet returned to their families.
In the United States, President Jimmy Carter designated September 3, every year, Friday as the day of recognition of missing persons by war.
Every year, this day is celebrated at night in the United States.
This is the first time this event has been held in Korea.
The number of Remember Together 7697 who attended the event means the number of missing U.S. soldiers who participated in the Korean War since the outbreak of the Korean War.
More than 2,500 from the Vietnam War are still missing.
At this event, we lit a candle on the table for the deceased and commemorated them with the hope that the deceased would return.
We also had a time to commemorate the names of the missing U.S. soldiers and their sacred spirit of sacrifice.
Please watch over the loving families who are still anxiously waiting for their return.
And help us to realize that we have not forgotten them and that we continue to strive for their return.
This man answered the call of duty driven by an unwavering sense of honor.
They fought not for the recognition, but for the ideals of freedom and justice, enduring hardship unimaginable to most of us.
May their legacy remind us of our shared responsibility to uphold the value for which they died.
Chairman Choi Woo-seok of the Korea Defense Industry Association participated as a representative of Korea and conveyed the purpose and appreciation of this event.
I have witnessed the enduring strength of the U.S.-Korea alliance.
Our shared progress is built on the courage and commitment of the soldiers.
He also presented the 50-year history and future of the Korea Defense Industry Association to the U.S. military.
I think the U.S. military will be proud to say that they have contributed to protecting and developing Korea.
Many citizens who participated in the meaningful event had a time to commemorate them in honor of the soldiers who participated in the war.
