Currently, most of the survivors of the soldiers who participated in the Korean War in the past are over 90 years old. I want the photographs of military survivors who participated in the war to remain and be passed on to the next generation. I hope that the sacrifices of the Korean soldiers who gave their lives for their families, for their country and for liberal democracy will be remembered for a long time. For this reason, I meet and document the surviving Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and student soldiers who participated in the Korean War.
