[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] The 72nd anniversary of the June 25th War commemoration ceremony will be held on the 25th at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul.
On the 24th, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs announced that about 1,500 people, including domestic and international veterans, key government officials, senior military officers, citizens, and students, will attend the event held at 10 a.m. under the theme "Freedom Preserved, Peace to be Maintained."
Recently, military merit medals will be posthumously awarded to Lieutenant Lee Young-hoon (Chungmu Military Merit Medal), Sergeant Sim Im-seop (Hwarang Military Merit Medal), Corporal Yoon Joon-geol, Sergeant Lee Won-jae, and Sergeant Shin Myung-chul, who have been officially recognized as war veterans who died in action.
The event will proceed for 50 minutes in the order of an opening performance, entrance of flags from 22 UN participating countries, national ceremony, commemorative performance I, government awards, commemorative speech, commemorative performance II, and the singing of the "Song of June 25th War."
The pledge to the flag during the national ceremony will be read by Ryu Jae-sik, a June 25th War veteran, Captain Park Seung-ri, granddaughter of a June 25th War veteran, and Kim In-seop, a descendant of a distinguished military family who has served three generations in the Baekgol Unit.
The first commemorative performance will highlight "Freedom Preserved" through solemn songs that faithfully capture the dedication of veterans, the pain of war, and the spirit of the era.
