On the 10th, a Facebook page called 'Delivered on behalf of the Army Training Center' shared a heartwarming story from Mr. A, who identified himself as a soldier belonging to the 6th Infantry Division in Cheorwon.

Mr. A said, "My unit members were ordering ramen and a bowl of rice for lunch when a middle-aged gentleman asked which unit we belonged to." He added, "When I said '6th Infantry Division,' he said he was also from the 6th Division Reconnaissance Unit in 1986. He also said, 'Seeing soldiers makes me feel glad and grateful,' and bought us 30 cups of coffee."

He continued, "He shook hands with us, smiled, and then left after buying the coffee," and said, "In my 20 years of military service, this was the first time something like this happened, and I was so thankful that I almost got choked up." He also added a vow to be proud of the uniform he wears and to be a soldier he is not ashamed of.

Netizens who saw the post responded with comments such as "A wonderful senior comrade," "Always fighting to the soldiers protecting the country," and "You met a noble person."

Meanwhile, the 6th Division is known as a so-called Maker Division (a unit with history and tradition) and was the first unit to advance to the Yalu River during the Korean War.
