79th National Liberation Day of Korea - August 15th 2024. The National Liberation Day of Korea is a public holiday celebrated annually on 15 August in Korea, as well as in the US among Korean Americans. It commemorates the day when Korea was liberated from 35 years of Japanese colonial rule. The day also coincides with the anniversary of the founding of South Korea in 1948. I urge all Korean Americans to remembeer this important holiday and celebrate our freedoms.
Very honored to be invited by Sen Warner to represent KACAGW at the Commonweath Coffee with Virginia's US Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, for a celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Hertiage Month. Sen Warner was a great host, with a very friendly staff.
