[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] NC Dinos commemorates the significance of June as the ‘Month of Patriots and Veterans’ with various promotions.

NC is promoting the DNA sample collection project for the families of the fallen soldiers of the 6.25 War this season in collaboration with the 39th Infantry Division, which protects Gyeongnam.

The DNA sample collection project for the families of the fallen soldiers of the 6.25 War is a patriotic and veterans’ service project aimed at finding the remains of Korean soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the Korean War but have not yet been recovered, and bringing them back to their homeland and families.

Since the establishment of the Ministry of National Defense’s Remains Excavation and Identification Unit in 2007, over 10,000 fallen soldiers have been found, and the identities of 142 have been confirmed and conveyed to their families. NC plans to promote this project through the electronic scoreboard at Changwon NC Park.

Team Leader Ryu Soo-eun said, “I am honored to throw the first pitch at Changwon NC Park in observance of the Month of Patriots and Veterans in June. The public’s interest is essential to bring the fallen soldiers, who have been fighting in unknown mountains and fields for over 70 years, to the National Cemetery, a sacred place of the nation.”

Son Seong-wook, Marketing Team Leader of NC Dinos, said, “Since the 2016 season, we have signed an agreement with the 39th Infantry Division and have been working together on various patriotic and veterans’ service projects. The club will actively cooperate to find and bring home every last person who devoted themselves to the country.”
