Korean Memorial Day
On June 6, Koreans observe Memorial Day, a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring the sacrifices and contributions of fallen soldiers and military personnel who devoted their lives to protecting the nation.
At 10:00 a.m., a nationwide siren is played, and people pause for a moment of silence to honor these fallen heroes. Also, the Korean national flag is flown at half-mast as a sign of respect.
This year, the 71st Memorial Day Ceremony will be held at Seoul National Cemetery, attended by government officials, the families of national patriots, and citizens.

Pleased to launch U.S.-ROK working group discussions to advance bilateral nuclear cooperation initiatives as outlined by our two presidents last fall. On this occasion, I am reminded of our shared history and the many milestones across 70 years of our Alliance. I look forward to further deepening and modernizing our cooperation and expect continued progress across the bilateral relationship in the years to come.

As a strong supporter of the U.S.-ROK Alliance, Iโm excited to work with @GovBillLee, @CommishTNECD McWhorter, & @RokEmbDC Ambassador Kang to deepen economic & strategic ties between Tennessee & South Korea!
.@GovBillLee, Deputy Governor/@CommishTNECD Stuart C. McWhorter and @SenatorHagerty met with Her Excellency Kyung-wha Kang, @RokEmbDC Ambassador, earlier today to discuss strengthening Tennesseeโs longstanding partnership with South Korea.
The conversation focused on supporting Korean companies and investment, accelerating U.S.-Korea cooperation in the nuclear sector and expanding Korean studies and cultural exchange opportunities.
Since 2019, South Korea has emerged as Tennesseeโs No. 1 foreign direct investment partner for jobs and capital investment, with Korean companies committing to create 6,600 job commitments and invest over $14 billion in capital statewide.
