An official from the Busan Regional Office stated, "Patriotic facilities are more than simple memorial spaces; they serve as living venues for historical education where the values of honoring veterans are learned and carried on. We will continue to promote various campaigns and related projects so that citizens can naturally experience the spirit of patriotism."
