Memories are made of this by Wally Wilson His Excellency President and Mrs. Chun Doo Hwan made a state visit to Canada, arriving in Ottawa on Saturday Aug. 18 to his four day visit. Security had been tightened up at Canadian Forces Base Uplands for his arrival, due to the slaying of the Turkish Defence Attache on Friday in Ottawa. President of South Korea Chun was favourably welcomed by Governor General Ed Shryer and his wife. Canada can take a great deal of pride that this is the first time a President of South Korea has visited our country. President Chun attended a_ private reception at Govern- ment House as well as a reception in the Korean Embassy gardens that was being held for several hundred Korean nationals. President Chun visited approximately 50 Canadian Korea war veterans at Ste. Anne de Bellevue hospital, just a short distance from Montreal Quebec and presented each veteran with a beautifully engraved digital clock. The President flew back and forth to Ottawa by helicopter. Motoring down from Ottawa by car to meet him at the hospital was the South Korean Defence Attache from the Embassy in Ottawa, Colonel Biak. Accom- panying him was Andy Mackenzie, President of the Korea Veterans Association of Canada, Unit 7, Ottawa, Ontario. Also in attendance was the National President of the Korea Veterans Association of Canada, Lou Plummer CD of Stratford, Ontario. Address by President Chun Doo Ilwan of the Republic of Korea to Canadian Veterans of War Canadian Veterans of War, for it is profoundly significant to meet in this great and beautiful country with comrades- in-arm who have given of themselves for the cause of Canada, Korea and the world. Mindful that without your noble sacrifices it would be impossible for the people of our two countries to enjoy the freedom and democracy cherished by us all, I would like to express * my utmost appreciation and highest com- mendation to all of you. I myself and the people of the Republic of Korea are well aware that the freedom, peace and prosperity we now enjoy are in part due to your selfless sacrifices. Entombed in the United Nations Cemetery in Pusan are 2,221 soldiers, 378 of them Canadians, from the 16 allied countries who fought so gallantly side by side in the defense of freedom. At that time Canada dispatched more than 26,000 men to aid the Republie when our very existence was imperiled by Communist aggression. Five-hu- ndred-sixteen of those men gave their lives fighting for the cause of freedom. Our deter- mined resolve to faith- fully serve as the bastion of the Free World is forever being reinforced with thoughts of such priceless sacrifices by others in protection of our sovereignty, lives, and property. Recently, Mr. Lloyd Plummer,' president of the Korea Veterans Association of Canada wrote me on behalf of the members. He said many Canadian vetérans who have visited Korea under the Ces < Korea Revisit Program are alarmed by the palpable tension hanging over the Military Demarcation Line and are greatly ' worried by the threat of another invasion. He went on to say that they have come to realize that greater in- ternational cooperation is necessary to maintain peace on the Korean peninsula which is vital to the peace of the whole world. I entirely agree with him and wish to express my deep gratitude to all Canadian veterans of the Korean War for Dr. D.W. Carr Optometrist 526-6050 372 King St., Midland 52TF their warm affection and unflagging faith which keeps alive a deep. concern about Korea. This," is) van eloquent testimony to the fact that you are not former, but eternal, comrades-in-arm. My official itinerary begins tomorrow with the laying of flowers at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. On May 29, His Excellency, Governor-General Schreyer, unveiled inscriptions on the monument commem- orating your par- ticipation in the Korean War. Together with the Tippett Office Services monument in the town of Kapyong in the central region of Korea, 'hese inscriptions will be a perpetual reminder of your' invaluable sacrifices and a symbol of eternal friendship between our two peoples. Once more I want to thank and commend you for your heroic actions and pray for your lasting happiness and well-being and that of your families. Thank you.
