[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] Chey Tae-won, Chairman of SK Group, honored the sacrifices of Korean War veterans and comforted their bereaved families.

According to SK, Chairman Chey attended the unveiling ceremony of the "Wall of Remembrance" at the Korean War Memorial Park in Washington DC, USA, on the morning of the 27th (local time).

The Wall of Remembrance is a monument engraved with the names of fallen US soldiers and KATUSA (Korean Augmentation To the United States Army) soldiers at the Korean War Memorial Park. It was built with funding from the Korean government, SK Group, and other corporate and private donations.

In May last year, Chairman Chey visited the Korean War Memorial Park and laid a wreath at the memorial stone. He also met John Tillerly, Chairman of the Korean War Veterans Memorial Foundation (former Commander of US Forces Korea), and became the first Korean company to donate $1 million to the Wall of Remembrance construction fund.

On this day, Chairman Chey met with the families of veterans and expressed his gratitude for their dedication and sacrifice. In particular, he met Mrs. Annaly Weber, wife of the late Colonel William Weber, a Korean War hero who led the establishment of the Korean War Memorial Park, shook hands with her, and expressed his thanks and condolences for the sacrifice.

Regarding the reason for the $1 million donation, Chairman Chey said, "The Wall of Remembrance can be considered a great symbol of the Korea-US alliance," adding, "I thought that if the construction went well and it was built here in the heart of the United States, it would remain in the memories of many people."

An SK official said, "Chairman Chey Tae-won's attendance at the Wall of Remembrance unveiling ceremony reflects his will as a leader of the Korean business community to promote friendly relations between the two countries."
