"Veterans' affairs shine on their own, but their value increases when they permeate various fields such as culture and arts, engaging with the public," said Kwon Oh-eul, Minister of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, during his remarks at the 4th Aju Economic Veterans' Spring Literary Contest Awards Ceremony held on the third floor of the Maeheon Yoon Bong-gil Memorial Hall in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on June 30.
In a speech read by Nachi-man, Director of the Veterans Culture Policy Division, Kwon emphasized that the spirit of patriotism embodied by the nation's veterans, who played key roles in reclaiming and protecting South Korea's history in the last century, serves as a poignant source of inspiration for literature that resonates with everyone.
Reflecting on the award-winning works, Kwon expressed gratitude and pledged, "The Ministry of Veterans Affairs will do its utmost to foster a mature culture of veterans' affairs, ensuring that the contributions of those who dedicated themselves to the nation are honored and remembered by the public in their daily lives."
