Veterans of the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, including Vice Minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs Lee Hee-wan, threw out the first pitch of a professional baseball game on Memorial Day.
Six veterans of the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, including Vice Minister Lee Hee-wan, visited the 2024 professional baseball game between KT Wiz and Hanwha Eagles held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 6th and reflected on the meaning of patriotism.
The warriors commemorated the sacrifices of the fallen soldiers with a moment of silence before the game, and Vice Minister Lee went up to the mound to throw out the first pitch. 메이저사이트
Vice Minister Lee Hee-wan participated in the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong in 2002 while serving as a lieutenant in the Navy, and commanded the Chamsuri 357 boat to defend the Northern Limit Line (NLL) despite being shot in both legs.
Kwon Ki-hyeong (then a corporal), who fought until the end even though his left hand was injured, performed a try.
Kwak Jin-seong, Jo Hyun-jin, Kim Myeon-ju, and Go Jeong-woo, who participated in the war together, also participated in the event.
A KT official said, “We invited veterans of the war to commemorate the month of Patriots and Veterans. We will continue to hold various events to honor veterans and their families in honor of the noble sacrifices of martyrs and patriots.” 온라인 슬롯
