Amazingly this was not to happen. When I arrived in Korea, things gradually developed within me as I looked and listened to everything I saw and heard. Along every kilometer and through every city and town and memorial and souvenir booth and restaurant, and with all those people going about their daily work, I was stunned by having my dream become reality. What did I see and experience; it was kindness, honesty, respect and clean modern city\u2019s mixed with old heritage and culture and tradition.<br \/>\nSo, I thought I would write to express my gratitude to the people of Korea, to those who tend to the grass and gardens at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery, and to everyone I met and those who helped me find my way when I was lost. Perhaps I was actually lost during the past twenty years and finally found a magical place that I had unknowingly been looking for.<br \/>\nThank you Korea, said with sincere and heartfelt thanks,<br \/>\nOne day soon I hope to return,<\/p>\n<p>Guy Black<br \/>\nRecipient, Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation and the Sovereign\u2019s Medal for Volunteers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6504 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/todaysmoney.ca\/edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/\ube14\ub799\uac00\uc7742.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"774\" height=\"1006\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vaneducationca\/posts\/2459943557403040\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2654 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/todaysmoney.ca\/edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/facebook_\ubc34\ucfe0\ubc84-\uad50\uc721\uc2e0\ubb38.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Thank you note from Canada &nbsp; A twenty-year journey on the path of peace surprisingly led to Busan and the United Nations Memorial Cemetery on June 24th.
