It is a prominent memorial, but more routine recognition needs to be done, like on ?´‘?³???? (Liberation Day, August 15). If the Uri Party won’t do it, I think that Hannara Party ought to.

At the very least, they should give as much recognition to the 17 nations as the Americans do to the French (or the French do to the Americans).

Back in college, I used to date someone whose family was from Ethiopia and Eritrea. Her family really liked me and, particularly after I started staying in Korea long-term, her brother especially would always talk with me about the special connection between Korea and Ethiopia. They were all going to come out to Korea to see me and visit the Ethiopia Veterans’ Memorial out near Ch’unch??n.

Maybe this bit of news (she’s in Ethiopia or Eritrea now helping manage a family business they retrieved from the Communists) will get her to give me a call…
