UNMCK - UNITED NATIONS MEMORIAL CEMETERY IN KOREA

> > > Dear Korean war Veteran, > Hello, my name is Chae Young Lee from Seoul, South Korea. I am 14 years old. I am writting this letter to thank your contribution by sacrificing yourself during Koran war. As you know, when there was no veterans like you, our country may not be beautiful and peaceful like these days. So, you are like a hero to Korea. It could have been a hard choice to volunteer for participating being a veterans in other country. But you fought for us and because of your braveness, we are now living happily. We will never forget your sacrifice. > Nowadays, our school second and third grades are taking midterm test. Fortunately, i am first grader, I don't need to take a test. But time is going too fast and I will have to take the test next year. I heard that our school's test is very hard. I am scared because all subjects are very difficult. Especially, I am not good at science even though I am going to the science academy. I have to study more hard. But I am tired of Korean society that stress on studying. People in Korea can go to good company and have a best job if they go to good university. And to go to the good university, they have to study very hard and be on the high rank at school. Students have to go to academy evry day and can't sleep until they complete their homework. I am very sad that this is truth and i have to be like this after few years. > I felt that time are going very fast. It seems that I just graduate elementary school few days ago but it is already October and it is running the end of year 2019. I made a lot of good experience while I went to middle school. It was all new. Friends, teachers, classes. First, I was worried about adopting to the school. But there was very good friends and teacher. We went to retreat toghther and we also did unity at school. It was all good memories. I can enjoy my life because there was your contribution. Thank you very much. > These days, fall foliages are starting to be seen. I live near a mountain and the color of it is changing slowly. The leaves are turning red, orange, and brown. It shows me that summer is gone and autumn has came. Korea's weather is being strange. i saw a news and it said that autumn is disappearing because of the pollusion. I was so sad because there are really few countries which has four seasons. > Korea, the country with a beautiful environment, the country which has four seasons, has been able to come here because there was you and other veterans efforts and sacrifice. I will never forget your contribution and so as other Korean. Thank you and I hope you will have a happy day forever. > Sincerely, Chae Young Lee >
