Today, I would like to convey my deepest respect to our independence activists and their bereaved families. Their passionate spirit lives on in the people’s hearts even at this very moment. Our patriotic forefathers gave their all, aspiring for “the day when Samgaksan Mountain would rise up and dance and the waters of the Hangang River would roll in its bed and soar”. The Republic of Korea we see today was created by the indomitable spirit of our forefathers who fought for independence while refusing to buckle or give up in the face of any tribulation. Fellow Koreans, decorated patriots who dedicated themselves to the nation’s independence, their relatives and Korean compatriots abroad,Īs we mark the centenary of both the March First Independence Movement and the founding of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea this year, I find it particularly meaningful to hold the ceremony commemorating the 74th Liberation Day here at the Independence Hall of Korea.
