🎖️Veterans Who Fought for Peace, Not Just War
On June 21, in a quiet corner of Parañaque City’s public library, something powerful happened. Filipino veterans who bravely fought in the Korean War gathered again — not for war, but for peace 🕊️.
At the “Thank You Day for Korean War Filipino Veterans”, old soldiers shared their painful memories. 💔 Bombs, fear, separation… but also unity, courage, and hope. One veteran remembered fighting at the front lines before the ceasefire — and how much it means to him to see South Korea thrive today.
They didn’t fight just for one country — they fought for a world that’s peaceful and united. That’s why HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) brought everyone together — to honor those who served and to remind us: We all have a role in peace. 🌼
📜 Peace Is a Legacy, Not Just a Dream
Peace isn’t just a word — it’s a mission that needs to be passed down. That’s why HWPL led a special “Peace Map Signing” ceremony. Veterans and their families signed messages of hope for the next generation.
The theme? “Comrades Who Fought Together, Let’s Unite Korea Together!” 🙌 It wasn’t just about remembering war, but about protecting the peace that so many fought for.
Children gave flowers to the veterans, saying, “Thanks to your sacrifice, we have a future.” 💐 That moment touched every heart in the room.
One association leader said it best:
“We didn’t go to Korea for war — we went to protect peace. And every ‘thank you’ we hear from the Korean people brings tears to our eyes.” 💖
🧠 Education: Planting the Seeds of Peace
So how do we keep the peace alive? 🎓 HWPL believes the answer is education. In places like the Philippines, where war has affected even kids (like during the 2017 Marawi conflict), peace education becomes super important.
That’s why HWPL started Peace Clubs with schools and DepEd offices in the Philippines. These clubs teach kids not just to talk about peace, but to live it, share it, and build it — through understanding, kindness, and unity. 🤝
On January 24, more than 8,000 students, parents, and teachers celebrated the 11th “Peace Day” in Cavite. One student said,
“Through our peace walk, we all became one voice for the world.” 🌍
In today’s digital world, even sharing peace messages on social media helps! 📱✨ “We have the power to spread peace with every post,” said a teen participant.
💬 Peace Is Everyone’s Job — Especially the Youth
“Adults declare war, but it’s the youth who fight it,” said a HWPL leader. So the youth must now rise — not to fight, but to protect peace through their voices. 🗣️
At the Peace Day event, young people were asked to lead the future with DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War). It’s a law proposal built by HWPL and international legal experts that aims to stop war and promote human dignity worldwide. 🌐
One local school official summed it up perfectly:
“Peace isn’t the job of one country. It’s a mission we all share. From climate change to conflicts, we must face these challenges together — as one human family.” 💞🌎
✅ Final Thoughts: Peace Is Personal
Peace isn’t just about ending wars — it’s about creating a better life, together. Whether you’re a student, teacher, parent, or even a kid, you have the power to bring peace closer — one step, one smile, one lesson at a time 😊
Let’s carry the legacy of these brave veterans into our classrooms, homes, and online spaces. Let’s remember: We Are One
