On the 6th, Chungcheongnam-do held a memorial ceremony to commemorate the 68th Memorial Day, honoring the noble spirit of the martyrdoms and heroes who sacrificed themselves for the country.

The ceremony held at Chungnam Veterans Park was attended by about 500 people, including Governor Kim Tae-heum, Provincial Chairman Cho Gil-yeon, veterans’ organizations and veterans’ families.

At 10:00 a.m. on the day, sirens were blown in silence for one minute, and 21 rifles were fired at 10 o’clock sharp.

At this meeting, Governor Kim said, “The proud legacy of patriotism has become the power to raise up the Republic of Korea, a country of liberal democracy and market economy amidst the ruins of war.” We will lead the country,” he stressed.

Governor Kim continued, emphasizing the highest respect for national merit and bereaved families, saying, “It is also important to spread a veterans culture that respects and remembers those who have dedicated themselves to the country.” We will remember patriotism in everyday life and raise the pride of veterans’ families by promoting the erection of statues of independence activists and extensive maintenance of Chungnam Veterans Hall and Veterans Park.”
