Pukyong National University Students Hold Veterans Event Visiting Busan 6·25 War Veterans

On the 17th, the Pukyong UN Supporters, a student peace volunteer group from the National Pukyong National University, visited the Busan branch of the Korean War Veterans Association to hold a veterans' commemoration event.

That afternoon, the UN Supporters students organized a student-led veterans' event at the Busan Veterans Welfare Center to express gratitude to the Busan branch of the Korean War Veterans Association and local war veterans.

The event began with the reading of a thank-you letter by the UN Supporters representative, followed by students attentively listening to the vivid experiences of the veterans, gaining a real sense of the brutal realities of the Korean War, and engaging in a Q&A session.

Afterwards, the students held a meeting to facilitate communication between the war generation and the post-war generation, delivering over 150 handwritten thank-you letters and gift sets produced with the support of the Busan Veterans Office to the veterans.

Since its launch in 2009, the UN Supporters has held annual veterans' events for domestic and international war veterans and carried out peace volunteer activities to practice the UN-SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals).

In July, they supported the ‘UN Forces Veterans Day and the 70th Anniversary of the Armistice Ceremony,’ in August, they held a ‘Korean War Veterans Association Jeju Branch Veterans Event,’ and on the 11th, they supported the ‘UN Veterans International Memorial Day (Turn Toward Busan),’ continuing their peace volunteer activities.
