Dear Ms. Park,
First of all, I wish to thank you on your meticulous update and the care you give to this website.
I am writing this post to bring to your attention a grave error that occured while I was browsing through this website.
In the Introduction - "Decision to Establish" Section, it says that
"...This sanctimonious cemetery occupying 14.7 hectare of land became a burial ground in April 1951 following relocation of the graves..."
I believe that the word "Sanctimonious" is not good. It is definitely bad.
It means "Feigning piety or righteousness" and is the equivalent of hypocrisy, faking and pretending to be goody-goody while actually, he isn't.
May I have the impudence to suggest that you actually meant to say "solemn" or "sacred" or something along that line?
Therefore, I plead that you please fix it, for the the negative implication that the word "santimonious" holds is somewhat insulting to the brave soldiers who fought and perished here.
Otherwise, I think that the introduction is a beautifully written piece, summarizing the object of the UNMCK in simple but sincere prose.
Thank you for taking your time to read this post.
Sincerely yours,
So-Hyun Park
