Ah, How Can We Forget This Day?
Revelation 3:19-22

Introduction: On Monday, June 26, 1950, I went with a heavy school bag toward the second grade classroom of Dongrae Middle School where there was a garden filled with the fragrance of flowers. I always had to greet my seniors because I was in the lowest grade. However, as soon as I entered the classroom, being proud that I was in the second grade to receive greetings from my juniors, I heard the tragic news that the Korean War had broken out. That was at dawn on June 25 when the North Korean communist armies advanced upon Uijeongbu in tanks beyond the border, and this time it was not just a little battle around the border but the outbreak of an all-out war. Until further information, school would be postponed indefinitely and put into requisition by the military forces. Terrified, I went back home to Pusan. From then on, people rushed away to Pusan, crowded in trains. Then a horrible war went on for three years and a month.
