Scholarships Awarded to Six Chilgok Janggok Middle School Students... Widely Promoting 6·25 Hero 'US General Walker'

The Gyeongbuk Education Scholarship Association (Chairman Lim Jong-sik) awarded scholarships of 200,000 KRW each and scholarship certificates to six Janggok Middle School students who took the lead in promoting the heroes of the Nakdong River Battle during the Korean War (General Walker) at the Memorial Hall for National Defense and Peace (Chilgok), encouraging them.

This promotion of the Nakdong River Battle heroes began when Janggok Middle School (Chilgok) students, while researching for assignments on social media, came across information about General Walker and posted an article titled "Please Remember General Walker" along with photos on the Chilgok County Office website to publicize the general's achievements.

Chairman Lim Jong-sik of the Gyeongbuk Education Scholarship Foundation is awarding scholarships to six students from Chilgok Janggok Middle School who have taken the lead in widely promoting General Walker, a hero of the Korean War.

Kim Dong-jun, a third-year student at Janggok Middle School who posted this story, along with his classmates, said, "During the Korean War, General Walker played a decisive role in fighting the war in Chilgok, where I live, and defending the Nakdong River front, but no one told us about him. We wanted to make sure all students know about General Walker's achievements, so we prepared this."

Chairman Lim Jong-sik said, "It is because of the noble sacrifices of those who fought for the Republic of Korea that we exist today. Although the pain of war occurred in our region, our students have awakened us to stories that had not been widely known. We will take the lead in ensuring that our future generations remember and appreciate our national heroes without forgetting them."
