This is part of the "First-Class Veterans Accompaniment with the Business Community" project, a housing environment improvement initiative for national merit recipients jointly promoted by the Korea Economic Association, Hanwha Group, and the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs since 2022.

This year, housing environment improvements were carried out for a Korean War veteran (Changwon, Gyeongnam) and a student independence movement participant (Gwangju).

Marking the 60th anniversary of the Vietnam War, Lee’s home in Yeosu was selected as the third improvement target. Lee received the Hwarang Military Merit Medal in 1969 for his distinguished service during the Vietnam War.

Lee Sang-yoon, Head of the Sustainability Growth Division at the Korea Economic Association, said, "The business community is working with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs to spread a culture of honoring veterans," adding, "We will continue to strive to promote various veterans-related projects so that society can be one that appreciates our heroes."
