UNMCK - UNITED NATIONS MEMORIAL CEMETERY IN KOREA

Dear. Korean War Veterans Hello, my name is Yoon Chae, Kim. I am 15 years old, and I live in Ilsan, Korea. I like watching TV or movie and I enjoy communicating with my friends in SNS. Also, I like soccer We post a lot of pictures and talk about them. My dream is to become an elementary school teacher who students like. Because I like teaching and young children. I can teach the difficult problems easily and take care of children pleasantly. I write this letter to appreciate your help on protecting Korea when Korean war broke out. Participating in war is not easy work, but you did it. If I were you at that time, I wouldn’t enter the war. I think you are brave and your mind is very strong and respectable. I really respect your braveness and justice. Also, I want to have thoughtful mind that you have. If I have that, I will not avoid work that can be harmed in life such as participating war. You are a thankful person who lets us live in Korea which is happy and beautiful. I think I can live in Korea now thanks to you. I will never forget your achievement in Korean war forever. There are changes in my life these days because of Covid-19. How about you? I would have gone to school, but I don't. I will have a remote class from April 16th to prevent infection. I am holding on class since I want to learn many things. I am in the house almost everyday. I think that I became lazy, so I will study and exercise more. There has not been vaccine or medicine yet. It means we can not be treated immediately when we are infected. Therefore, we should avoid going out and meeting people. Also, we always wear masks when we go out. However, if I wear a mask, breathing becomes stuffy and skin has trouble, so I feel uncomfortable. I wish Corona virus to be lulled quickly. There is one religion in Korea, Shincheonji. Shincheonji is so-called heresy. People who believe Shincheonji attended religious services in Daegu on a large scale. As you know, Corona virus spreads quickly as many people gather. Shincheonji people are infected a lot and people who approached with them are also infected a lot. Owing to Shincheonji, there are many infectee. I don’t have a religion, but I'm nervous because I could meet Shincheonji person or person that went to church. I want not to infect virus, so I do a lot of things. I wash my hands frequently and cover my mouth when I cough. I always wear a mask while I go out. I am sad to avoid going out. I like playing with my friends, however, I can not meet them, too. So, I am in home almost everyday. I want to go out and meet my friends. Covid-19 was started in Wuhan of Chinese Hubei. Since Chinese people ate bats for edibility, Covid-19 was began. I thought that I should not eat any food carelessly. Also, I realized I should always wash my hands, and exercise regularly to prevent from infectious disease. I hope you be safe. If we observe preventive rules, we can prevent ourselves from virus. Thanks for protecting Korea and reading my message!! From. Yoon Chae, Kim
