[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Seunghyun Jeong] Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 7th that it held a children's wreath-laying experience event at the Memorial Tower ahead of the June Month of Patriots and Veterans.

This event, themed "Love for the Country Blooms," was piloted for the first time this year, with about 30 seven-year-old children from two nearby daycare centers in Okam-dong, close to the Memorial Tower, participating.

Local children experienced wreath-laying at the Memorial Tower, drawing the Taegeukgi (Korean national flag), and making Taegeukgi pinwheels, learning the meaning of patriotism.

One child who participated in the event said, "I saw the Memorial Tower while passing by in a car but didn't know what kind of tower it was, but now I understand," and added, "Thank you to the grandfathers and grandmothers who fought and died to protect our country."

A city official stated, "We hope the wreath-laying experience at the Memorial Tower will be a time to elevate children's love for the country," and added, "We plan to expand the wreath-laying experience event through satisfaction and demand surveys in the future."
