[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] The Gyeongnam Eastern Veterans Affairs Office announced on the 13th that it conducted an untact campaign at representative independence-related memorial facilities in the Gyeongnam region to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Liberation Day.

The campaign took place on the 12th at the Gyeongnam Anti-Japanese Independence Movement Memorial Tower, the patriotic martyr Heo Dang Myung Do-seok's monument, the Miryang Independence Movement Memorial Hall, and the Uiyeol Memorial Hall.

The campaign was carried out to share the joy of liberation 75 years ago and to embody the spirit of overcoming the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The Veterans Affairs Office paid respects by visiting the graves of independence activists such as Miryang's Doctor Park Cha-jeong and Changwon's patriot Bae Jung-se, and conducted purification activities to express respect and gratitude for the independence contributors.

During Liberation Day week, from the 11th to the 18th, various events were held, including operating a photo zone for independence contributors and a photo exhibition on the history of the Taegeukgi flag in the first-floor lobby of the Government Gyeongnam Regional Joint Office Building.

Director Ahn Ju-saeng said, “On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Liberation Day, we will strive to create a social atmosphere that does not forget and inherits the noble spirit of the ancestors who sacrificed and devoted themselves for the liberation of the homeland through meaningful events visiting our region’s representative memorial facilities and the graves of independence contributors.”
