These border guards came from all across the country and from different walks of life. Among them were carpenters, children of senior officials, chefs, and impoverished farmers. They had joined the army for different reasons, but when foreign enemies invaded their homeland, they all had just one purpose: to defend their country and protect their people! Some never came back. Some were gravely wounded and left with lifelong disabilities. Others were never even recorded by name, let alone awarded a medal. This story is meant to help everyone remember both the famous and the unsung heroes. The memory of future generations is the finest medal a hero can receive.
