tear from a patriotic soldier

At a luncheon among those who paid tributes to the graves in the
UNMCK on the Korean Memorial Day, there were opportunities
for the participants to express their own mind at the occasion.

An old man who himself fought during the Korean War as a soldier,
told his recent experience of visiting Australia during the ANZAC
DAY. It was so impressive for him to watch the ANAZC DAY events
taken place for several days that the whole Australian seemed to
renew the memory of the old antagonism in order to sublimate it
into harmony for today and for future.

He continued that in his view, one of the reasons of Australian
prosperity of today may have a certain linkage with that spirit,
renewal of the past antagonistic memory for the betterment of
today and future.

According to him, a contrast happens here in Korea saying that today
many of the Koreans seem to be forgetful of the Korean War and
they may not link today's prosperity with the sacrifices of too many
people, nationals and foreigners, which may eventually lead to the
danger of the security of Korean Peninsular.

Then his talking stopped there with sobbing.
