In present-day South Korea, where the contribution of Korean War veterans who dedicated their lives for the peace of the country is often overlooked, one organisation is working hard to widely publicise and record their noble deeds through memorial ceremonies, campaigns, and events - the Shincheonji Volunteer Group.
In particular, the Chungju Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group ("Chungju branch") has proven its community trust by receiving a series of plaques of appreciation for spreading the "value of consistency" among war veterans.
In response to a request made by the Chungju Branch of the Korea Vietnam Veterans' Association, the Chungju branch provided meal support and on-site assistance for the operation of the "31st National Defense and Security Action Rally" held at Tangeum Park in Chungju on 20th October, providing food and beverages to approximately 1000 veterans.
This large-scale veterans' event, hosted by the Chungju Branch of the Korea Vietnam Veterans' Association, was attended by Vietnam War veterans, their families, and related organisations from 11 cities and counties in the province.
On that day, the Chungju branch received a plaque of appreciation in recognition of its consistent service to veterans' welfare.
One volunteer from the Chungju branch said, “The veterans have taught us respect and gratitude.”
A Chungju branch official stated, “Today's peace is possible thanks to the sacrifices of veterans.”
The freedom and peace that South Korea enjoys today was gained through the sacrifices of their forefathers.
Meanwhile, since 2014, the Shincheonji Volunteer Group has held the 'Love Your Country, Share Peace' campaign in June (Patriot and Veterans Month), in order to raise civic awareness of the noble sacrifice of war veterans who died for the peace of Korea and to promote a world of peace without conflict.
