My Memorial Day Sentiments


Remembering our loved ones

Memorial Day is June 6th. This day is declared as a legal holiday as it is a time to think about our forefathers who devoted their lives for Korea. Including the President, people usually go to the National Cemetery. At 10 am, it is a moment of silence with sirens. We also raise the national flag.



But to be honest, I did not do these actions like thinking our ancestors or hanging the national flag. Actually, I am very happy during June 6th. The reason why is because it is a holiday. I am feel ashamed when I didn’t do the practices in the past.

From now on, I will worship our forefathers and raise the national flag on June 6th. If the opportunity comes, I want to visit at National Cemetery on June 6th.
