Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin indicated on October 23 that he will continue to communicate and cooperate with the Veterans Association, which plays a leading role in security and service.
On that afternoon, Mayor Shin received the Top Honor from the Veterans Association in his office at City Hall.
The 'Top Honor' is awarded to individuals who have made significant contributions to national security and the development of the Veterans Association.
Kwon Byeong-ho, president of the Seongnam Veterans Association, presented the certificate to Mayor Shin on behalf of the national president.
Mayor Shin was recognized for his efforts to support the stable activities of the Veterans Association and to enhance security awareness in the community, as well as for promoting a spirit of patriotism.
Mayor Shin is providing administrative support for seven projects, including a memorial event for the Cheonan sinking, a national flag distribution event, and a gathering to honor veterans, to ensure that the Seongnam Veterans Association, with its membership of 19,910, can continue its role as a local security organization.
He is also pursuing policies to strengthen honors for veterans and to promote security awareness.
In May, he relocated the Memorial Tower from a hilly area in the Taepyeong 4-dong district to the City Hall park and created a Veterans Path within the park.
This initiative aims to honor the sacrifices and contributions of those who dedicated themselves to the nation and to remind citizens of the significance of honoring veterans in their daily lives.
Mayor Shin expressed gratitude to the members of the Seongnam Veterans Association for their dedication to national security and the community, stating, "I will continue to communicate and cooperate to ensure that the Veterans Association can actively engage in security and service activities."
Looking ahead, Mayor Shin plans to focus on expanding security awareness and fostering a culture of honoring veterans through collaboration with local security organizations.
