Military Mutual Aid Association Supports Donations for the Excavation of Remains of 6·25 War Dead

[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] The Military Mutual Aid Association delivered a consolation fund for the remains excavation project to the Ministry of National Defense's Remains Excavation and Identification Unit in commemoration of June, the Month of Patriots and Veterans.

On the 21st, Kim Yu-geun, Chairman of the Military Mutual Aid Association, along with executives and staff, visited the Ministry of National Defense's Remains Excavation and Identification Unit located within the National Seoul Memorial Cemetery in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, to present a consolation fund to encourage the unit members who are working hard across the country.

The remains excavation project promoted by the Ministry of National Defense's Remains Excavation and Identification Unit is a patriotic and veterans' project to find and bring home the remains of approximately 123,000 patriotic martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country during the Korean War but have not yet been recovered. The excavation at Hwaseolmari Ridge is scheduled to be completed by the end of June, and the excavation will expand to Baengma Ridge, which was the site of the largest battle.

Kim Yu-geun, Chairman of the Military Mutual Aid Association, said, "I wanted to visit the Baengma Ridge excavation site to pay tribute to and express gratitude to the patriotic spirits who gave their lives for the country, but due to the COVID-19 situation, I am instead delivering a donation to the Remains Excavation and Identification Unit conducting the veterans' projects." He added, "Going forward, the Military Mutual Aid Association plans to take the lead in various public interest projects with the mindset that corporate social responsibility is the first step of ESG management."

Every June, the Military Mutual Aid Association has carried out various activities to honor the noble spirit of sacrifice of the patriotic martyrs and veterans and to foster patriotism and veterans' awareness, including paying respects at the Memorial Tower in the National Seoul Memorial Cemetery, consoling Korean War veterans, and conducting campaigns for the Month of Patriots and Veterans as part of practicing ESG management. In addition, the association fulfills its corporate social responsibility through public interest projects such as providing livelihood support funds to Korean War veterans and helping neighbors in need during the Chuseok holiday.
