He always wore his June 25 participation commemorative hat as if it were a sacred object. My father, who fathered two sons and six daughters. My father, who treasured his son in Jeju so much that when he enlisted in the Marines he ultimately had the youngest son. Now rest comfortably beside mother, father," she said, showing her grief.
