“Sixty years ago when our country was in danger of perishing, many young people came to help us. Sixteen countries sent their young people and five countries sent a lot of support and aid to help us. We should not forget this.”
[金泰榮，南韓國防部長說]：
“60年前，在我國處於亡國的危險時，許多年輕人來幫助我們。16個國家派出他們的年輕人，還有五個國家給予我們很大的支持和援助。我們不應忘記這一點。 “
U.S. commander, Walter Sharp, says the U.S. and South Korea should always be prepared against North Korea’s provocations.
美軍指揮官沃爾特夏普說，美國和南韓應隨時對北韓的挑釁行為有所準備。
[Walter Sharp, U.S. Forces Korea Commander]:
“We honor the past sacrifices of our fallen heroes in battlelines by remaining prepared to deter future aggression and provocations. As a recent North Korean attack on the Cheonan reminds us, we must always remain strong and vigilant to ensure all these brave men and women fought for will be preserved for ourselves and for all of our future generations.”
[沃爾特夏普，駐韓的美軍司令官說]：
“我們藉著仍會保持戒備以防止未來的侵略和挑釁，來表彰過去在戰場上犧牲的英雄們。最近北韓襲擊天安艦事件提醒我們，我們必須保持強大及警戒，以確保這些英勇的男女戰士們，他們為我們和所有我們的後代奮戰的成果可以被保存。 “
Tensions on the Korean peninsula have escalated since South Korea accused the North of firing a torpedo at its Cheonan battleship in March, killing 46 sailors.
