Grateful Hearts to the Sky... Dongmyeong University Holds Kite Flying Event to Pray for Peace on the 70th Anniversary of the Armistice
Dongmyung University, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Korean War armistice, held the ‘Peace Prayer Kite Parade’ event on the 24th at the War Memorial of Korea’s Peace Plaza in collaboration with the Korean War Participating Countries Memorial Association and the Korean Kite Federation to honor the sacrifice and dedication of the countries and soldiers who participated in the 6.25 War.
At the event, participants flew kites into the sky, expressing their respect for the veterans and their wishes for peace.
President Jeon Ho-hwan of Dongmyung University stated, “Our university is adjacent to the UN Memorial Cemetery where soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the Korean War rest, and we participate annually in UN-related events. We also took a leading role in fundraising for the erection of a memorial bust for General Richard Whitcomb, who played a significant role in the reconstruction of Busan after the Korean War.”
He added, “We plan to establish the UN International University to provide study opportunities in Korea for descendants of the participating countries and to operate various exchange and cooperation programs.”
The Korean War Participating Countries Memorial Association is a corporation established to express gratitude to the UN veterans and their descendants from 22 countries that defended the Republic of Korea during the Korean War, and it carries out various projects annually.
