[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 7th, Jeonnam Damyang-gun announced that it held the '66th Memorial Day Commemoration Ceremony' on the 6th at the Gwaneo Park Memorial Tower Square.
About 60 people attended the event, including County Governor Choi Hyung-sik, County Council Chairman Kim Jeong-o and council members, heads of veterans' organizations, and heads of institutions and social organizations.

The commemoration ceremony proceeded in order with a moment of silence for the patriotic martyrs and war heroes, flower offering and incense burning, and commemorative speeches, with all attendees wearing masks and strictly adhering to the government's social distancing preventive measures. On the day, the county opened the Chung-hon Hall and supported flower offerings and incense burning by veterans' families.
Following the ceremony, the basic plan for the 'Damyang Peace Art Park,' to be created on a site of about 13,000 pyeong in Banryong-ri, Damyang-eup, with a project cost of 3.5 billion won, was explained.
