“We were together with UN veterans!” The volunteer team for ‘Peace for the World’ did a volunteer job for 55 veterans and their families from 7 different countries. The UN memorial cemetery is the only cemetery for around 2300 soldiers from 11 countries who sacrificed their life for the Korean War. The Patriots and Veterans Administration Agency conducted this memorial service 'Toward Busan' on 11th of November as a day to commemorate the end of World War 1, the memorial day of Commonwealth countries, and the American veterans day. The UN supporters students prepared to greet them 1 hour before the veterans arrived even though it was raining in the morning. They translated and guided the veterans, walking alongside them till the end of the service. "I could feel warmth inside of my mind when I convey appreciation for their sacrifice that has enabled us to live in peace now. I will do my best for this volunteer job and for peace in this world," Kyoung-muk You who is a third-grade student of the English Language and Literature Department said. ‘Pukyoung UN supporters’, which was established in 2009 as a program of business for improving university education capability, has conducted various activities such as participating in the recovery operation for the Korean war dead bodies as a first civilian team, and conveying an appreciation message to Turkey veterans by visiting them.
