Yonhap reported that 84 descendants of Korean War veterans and other students arrived in South Korea on Friday for the annual U.N. Sending States Youth Exchange Camp. The program runs through Thursday across Seoul, Busan and Gyeonggi Province.
It is hosted by the veterans ministry and brings together participants from countries that fought in the 1950-53 Korean War under the U.N. flag. One participant is a descendant of Canadian veteran Vincent Courtenay, who received the Camellia Medal of the Order of Civil Merit in 2014.
The group will visit Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park in Paju, the War Memorial of Korea, Seoul National Cemetery and the United Nations Peace Memorial in Busan. The exchange program was launched in 2009 to pass on the values of sacrifice and dedication shown by veterans who defended South Korea's freedom and peace.
