Memorial Day

Today is my first holiday in Korea: Memorial Day. At 10:00 in the morning on June 6 we honor the members of the armed forces who gave their lives for this country, most notably in the Korean War, with a moment of silence.

Even though I'm a newcomer, I want to say that their sacrifice was most certainly not in vain. I've seen with my own eyes what a great country South Korea has grown into because of their perseverance, and on a personal note, without them I wouldn't have the opportunity I have here today. Since I don't have a flag to fly at half-mast, I'll put a flag underneath this text, which would place it right around the middle of the page.

In honor and remembrance:
