LIG Nex1 Pays Tribute at National Seoul Memorial Cemetery Ahead of Armed Forces Day

Employees and Families, Flower Offering, Taegeukgi Replacement, and Cemetery Cleaning

Employees and their families of LIG Nex1, a leading defense company in the Republic of Korea (CEO Kim Ji-chan), visited the National Seoul National Cemetery on the 23rd ahead of the 75th Armed Forces Day to pay tribute and engage in volunteer activities.

On this day, a volunteer group of about 40 LIG Nex1 employees and their families visited the Memorial Tower honoring the sacrifices of patriotic martyrs and war heroes, then conducted grave site maintenance activities such as flower offerings and Taegeukgi flag replacements at the 30th graveyard, with which they have a sisterhood relationship.

Since 2010, LIG Nex1 became the first defense company to establish a sisterhood relationship with the Seoul National Cemetery. Every June, during the Month of Patriots and Veterans, employees participate in activities, and on weekends in September ahead of Armed Forces Day, employees and their families jointly carry out grave site maintenance annually.

At the beginning of each year, a ‘Patriotic New Year Ceremony’ is held at the Seoul National Cemetery and other national cemeteries across the country, attended by key executives, to reaffirm their commitment as defense workers protecting the Republic of Korea.

On Tae-sung On (age 13), son of On Sae-um, senior researcher of the Guided Missile Development Team who has participated in volunteer activities at the National Cemetery for five consecutive years, said, “At first, it felt like a light-hearted and enjoyable outing, but as the years passed, I came to deeply feel the noble spirit of sacrifice of the patriotic martyrs who gave their lives to protect the country. I will always remember and cherish their patriotic spirit and share it with those around me.”

In addition to the Seoul National Cemetery, LIG Nex1 has established sisterhood relationships with the 4th graveyard of Daejeon National Cemetery (2012) and the 11th/12th graveyards of Yeongcheon National Cemetery (2018), and carries out various patriotic and veterans’ activities.
