  "summary": "The Korean veterans ministry has announced plans to invite foreign Korean War veterans and their families to South Korea for an annual UN memorial day commemoration. The program, part of the Turn Toward Busan initiative, will see 36 individuals from six countries and their families arrive in the country on Sunday for a six-day visit. Among those invited are British veteran William Walsh, who served as a soldier and trained troops for deployment to the war, and Canadian veteran Vincent Courtenay, who first proposed the visit program in 2007. The visit will include a trip to the UN Memorial Cemetery in Busan, where the veterans can pay their respects to the United Nations forces.",
