The Korean War commemorative ceremony is held annually in various parts of the country to raise the honor of veterans, to honor the victims, and to instill a sense of security and national love for the people of postwar generations. Government agencies, local autonomous entities, military units, and civilian organizations, including the Ministry of National Defense and Veterans Affairs, have hosted or sponsored veterans in various forms and held various events, but 67 years have passed since the outbreak of the Korean War. It is expected that not only will veterans become more aged and be no longer able to attend memorial events, but there will soon be a time when they are no more alive.
In order to raise public awareness of national security and spirit of love for the nation through the commemorative ceremony in which there are no surviving warriors of war any more, it is necessary to create an environment around the event site so that anyone, including students could participate in. To develop interest-oriented programs and public relations activities systematically, it is necessary for the government agencies, municipalities, military units and civil society organizations to establish an organic cooperation system.
In order to constantly raise awareness of the people's national security and spirit of national security through the commemorative ceremony, the number of commemorative events will gradually be decreased. In case of a special victory ceremony, The Ministry of Veterans Affairs should take charge of the division and take into consideration of the size of the fighting and the victim size, and then develop an event program linked to the representative culture and tourism festivals in the area. Events that celebrate a particular battle or a specific character must be maintained as a small event only during the life time of the associated veteran, and thereafter to be abolished or integrated.
