Dear Korean Veterans Hello? I am Chae Hyeon Shin and I am 16 years old. Now, Korea has passed the big holiday called New Year's Day. New Year's Day is a very important day in Korea. I had a lot of fun this New Year's Day. In Korea, New Year's Day is a meaningful place to meet relatives that I have never seen before. So I visited my grandmother's house and ate delicious rice cake soup. And it was fun talking with grandmother and other cousins after a long time. And usually, when I go to my grandmother's house by car, I get stuck in traffic and it takes too long. But on this New Year's Day, there was not much traffic, so I felt so comfortable. And I visited my grandmother's house and I felt happy and cozy. In fact, I thought that I would become one year older on New Year's Day. But I was so happy to eat rice cake soup and enjoy it with my relatives on this New Year's Day. And I think I had a strong idea that this year is a new start as 2020 is an important year for me. So, this New Year's Day was filled with times when I had a strong mind but sometimes I had a comfortable life. Oh, and I think I was happy because I ate so much delicious food. So I kept thinking that if you come to Korea, you should enjoy Korean food. I almost forgot to tell you the most important thing. In Korea, people receive New Year's money if they pay their respects to their elders on New Year's Day. I was happy to receive the New Year's gift money and I kept thinking that I should save money. And after a long time, I met my cousins and had fun and bought delicious food and had a lot of fun. One of the reasons why I am waiting for a holiday like New Year's Day is because I meet my mother's family and eating delicious food and talking. Of course, I also talk to my father's family and spend my time happily. Like this, I had a very happy New Year. In fact, I think the reason why we can have these happy days is because you have done your best for our country. If it wasn't for your sacrifice, I would probably find it difficult to enjoy these happiness and joys with my family and relatives. But you helped our country, and I would like to thank you for that help. I think I'm lucky to be able to laugh and share delicious food with my relatives. I would like to say again that I really appreciate your help for our country. If you visit Korea, I hope you can enjoy delicious traditional Korean food and visit a famous place called Jeonju Hanok Village. There are some parts that may be uncomfortable to read because my English is not perfect and I am not good at it, but I hope you will understand. Be healthy and thank you very much. I love you. Sincerely, Chae Hyeon Shin
