President Moon Jae-in assured the South Korea's decorated patriots and veterans Tuesday that the government will never forget their service and sacrifice for the country.
He delivered the message in a luncheon meeting with those who contributed to the defense of the nation and their families at Cheong Wa Dae ahead of Memorial Day, which falls on Thursday this year.
Around 240 people attended the meeting, including two dozen bereaved family members of soldiers killed in the 1950-53 Korean War, the second battle of Yeonpyeong in 2002 and the 2010 torpedo attack on the Cheonan corvette.
