This group of supporters was formed through the voluntary participation of 90 students from Keimyung University’s overseas volunteer group. They will visit and experience a total of 134 memorial facilities in the Daegu area-including 74 sites related to the independence movement and 60 sites related to national defense-such as the National Debt Repayment Movement Memorial Hall and the memorial for the late Colonel Na Ya. The students plan to promote these sites from the perspective of the younger generation through social media activities.

One participating student said, "Visiting the local memorial facilities in person gave me a new appreciation for their historical significance," and added, "As a member of the younger generation, I will do my best to remember and share the past."

Kim Jongsul, Director of the Daegu Regional Veterans Office, stated, "I am deeply grateful for the patriotism shown by the students of Keimyung University," and expressed hope that "the activities of the supporters will increase public interest and help spread a culture of honoring veterans."
