2006 Dawns

At the top of Mt. Mireuk, Hansan Island and Geoje Island came into view. When the smoke rose at the top of mountain (Sanyang Town, Tongyoung City, Gyeongnam), naval forces of General Yi, Sun-shin propelled the ships with oars. The sun soaring between two islands into the sky was the symbol of new hope for 2006. Let us shout out loud: “Dae Han Min Kuk,” hoping and praying for the nation’s prosperity and happiness for all people.
