Sixty-four years ago this day, North Korea launched a surprise attack on South Korea, marking the start of a three-year war that would claim hundreds of thousands of lives.
To commemorate the somber anniversary and those that sacrificed their lives, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs hosted a ceremony at a stadium in the heart of Seoul on Wednesday.
Prime Minister Chung Hong-won used the opportunity to emphasize the importance of a strong military.
