https://www.youtube.com/live/DJqbzJahvCg?si=rGorHCWEe9UKBXrd
International Day of Remembrance
for United Nations Veterans
1. Honoring the sacrifices of veterans worldwide
Remembering the sacrifices of the service members from the sixteen United Nations combatant nations who fought for freedom and peace during the Korean War, with special tribute to those laid to rest at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan
2. An expression of international solidarity and gratitude
The Government and people of the Republic of Korea convey to the world the message, “We have not forgotten you,” joined by the descendants of participating nations, diplomatic representatives, and citizens in shared remembrance
- Not merely a national event, but a shared international act of remembrance
3. The continuation of the values of peace
A commitment to ensure that the tragedy of war is never repeated, through remembrance
Imparting to future generations the understanding that “peace is built upon sacrifice”
4. A symbolic act of remembrance: “Turn Toward Busan”
At 11:00 on November 11, a global moment of silence is observed, with participants turning toward Busan from around the world
A globally synchronized system of remembrance, uniting the world around a single city
5. The Significance of November 11
The symbolic significance connected to Armistice Day
A date symbolizing “the end of war and the pursuit of peace,” already established worldwide as a day of remembrance
- Accordingly, the sacrifices of the Korean War are commemorated in unity on the same day and at the same hour
The United Nations Veterans International Memorial Day is dedicated to commemorating the sacrifices and contributions of United Nations veterans who fought in the Korean War to defend the Republic of Korea and the principles of liberal democracy, and to honoring them in shared remembrance with the United Nations member states that took part
At 11:00 on November 11—the moment marking the end of the First World War—many European nations began the tradition of observing a moment of silence each year in honor of fallen service members, later expanding this remembrance to all who perished in war. In this spirit, the Republic of Korea designated November 11 as the United Nations Veterans International Memorial Day
The Republic of Korea honors and remembers the sacrifices and contributions of 1.95 million United Nations veterans from 22 countries, and at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, observes a one-minute moment of silence facing the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan
While existing November 11 memorial observances are carried out independently by each nation, this section presents the rationale behind G.Y.B’s pursuit of [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]
[ G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY ]
1. A Day of Remembrance
A global civic initiative that remembers the sacrifices of humanity and transforms that remembrance into responsibility for the future
2. Official Description
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is an international civic initiative dedicated to remembering all lives lost to war, industrial accidents, and technological disasters, and to fostering a shared responsibility for humanity to build a safer future grounded in that remembrance
It proposes an ethical framework that moves beyond remembrance as mere reflection on the past, transforming memory into responsibility, and presents an expanded global concept of commemoration that encompasses not only war but also industrial accidents and technological disasters
3. Alignment with the international community
and the United Nations
This day serves as a global platform that builds upon the worldwide symbolic significance of November 11, carrying forward the spirit of honoring United Nations veterans while extending its meaning into the realms of industry and technology, thereby emphasizing humanity’s shared commitment to safety and responsibility
4. A Philosophical Message
Memory is not merely an act of recalling the past, but a responsibility toward the future
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is a day in which the human conscience that remembers sacrifices is translated into a collective commitment by humanity to prevent the recurrence of such tragedies
5. Unique Characteristics
Where traditional commemoration remained focused on memory, [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] presents an action-oriented model of remembrance, progressing from memory to responsibility and ultimately to the prevention of recurrence
6. [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]
Beyond mere commemoration, it serves as an action-oriented platform that advances a system for safeguarding human life, encompassing industrial safety and technological accountability
7. G.Y.B represents [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY]
G.Y.B is developing technology for a system dedicated to safeguarding human life
| This embodies the [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] initiative | |
| November 11 is a day already recognized and remembered worldwide | Honoring the sacrifices of the past |
| We transform that remembrance into a sense of responsibility | Ensuring future safety through a commitment to responsibility |
| Encompassing not only the sacrifices of war but also those arising from industrial and technological contexts | Highlighting accountability in technology and safety |
| Preventing the recurrence of such tragedies | Enhancing global collaboration in pursuit of peace |
| G.Y.B – 11.11 Remembrance & Responsibility Day |
This global civic initiative upholds the following values
History reminds us that peace can never be taken for granted
The memory of those who sacrificed in the past must serve as a moral compass directing our actions today
Guided by the spirit of remembrance and responsibility, the international community can turn the lessons of history into a foundation for building a safer future
At G.Y.B, while we establish the date and time for the 11.11 R&R DAY remembrance, our purpose extends beyond merely creating a commemorative day. This day serves as a platform to honor the memory of the sacrificed and to reflect on our shared responsibility. Utilizing the safety technologies we have developed, we actively work to protect human life and contribute to the security of the future. Certain aspects of these technologies will be partially shared with participants in a follow-up email, and they represent essential measures recognized as necessary by all. Our mission is not limited to the designation of a memorial day; we are also preparing to promote and disseminate these safety technologies globally.
While countries around the world hold November 11 memorial ceremonies at 11:00 a.m., the significance that G.Y.B envisions elevates 11:11 a.m. on November 11 beyond a moment of remembering war victims. It can become a global instant in which humanity collectively affirms its commitment to preserving peace.
| November 11 | International Day of Remembrance for Victims |
| 11:00 a.m. | on November 11 – A Period of Remembrance and Tribute to the Fallen (5–10 minutes) |
| 11:11 a.m. | on November 11 – A Moment for Reflecting on Responsibility |
■ Core Principles
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day] upholds the United Nations’ legacy of remembrance and functions as a civic and ethical initiative that broadens its scope. Rather than supplanting or competing with established international memorial practices, it proposes a novel framework of international civic participation, linking the act of remembrance directly to the fulfillment of responsibility.
1. Honoring Historical Commemoration
November 11 has long been recognized globally as a day to honor those who sacrificed for freedom and peace. G.Y.B holds this historical significance and international tradition in deep respect. Accordingly, [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day] neither diminishes nor replaces existing commemorative practices; rather, it promotes civic engagement that links remembrance to responsibility for the future.
2. Extending the Concept: From Remembrance to Responsibility
Remembering the victims of war is a historical imperative that humanity must uphold to preserve peace. Yet, in contemporary society, there exists no national day to commemorate those who have perished due to the various hazards humanity faces. [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day] seeks to foster shared consciousness across nations and should incorporate national observances aimed at preventing the loss of human life.
| Armistice Day | G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day |
| Veterans Day | |
| Remembrance Day | |
| United Nations Veterans Memorial Day (Busan) | |
| War | War, industrial and technological disasters, major safety crises, and the collective hazards facing humanity |
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day] takes a step beyond mere remembrance of past sacrifices within the context of contemporary realities, proposing a day dedicated to putting responsibility into action to prevent the recurrence of similar tragedies.
3. The Meaning of Global Civic Engagement
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day] is not intended as a national observance, but rather as an international day of remembrance and responsibility in which citizens around the world can participate collectively.
Key Activities
≫ Remembrance Roll-Call for the Fallen
≫ International Solidarity for Safety and the Protection of Life
≫ A commitment to uphold responsibility toward future generations
4. Common Values Aligned with the United Nations’ Principles
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day] upholds the following values, reflecting the same spirit that the United Nations seeks to promote.
Peace for all humanity, the inherent dignity of human life, international collaboration, and the advancement of a safe and sustainable society |
This day represents a civic initiative that broadens the United Nations’ long-standing principle of shared human responsibility to a global citizenry.
“G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R Day is not intended to supplant established international memorial practices. Instead, it aims to extend remembrance into a framework of responsibility, inspiring global citizens to translate memory into concrete actions that safeguard human life and the well-being of future generations.”

We do not merely speak of remembrance
we propose the technologies and systems needed to prevent such tragedies from ever recurring.
The significance of Roll-Call
Roll-Call is not merely a ritual it embodies three universal values.
| Remembrance | Remembering and honoring the lives of those who sacrificed their lives. |
| Responsibility | Recognizing the shared responsibility of humanity to ensure such tragedies are never repeated. |
| Peace | A commitment to building a safer and more cooperative world. “Each time a name is called in the Roll-Call, we are reminded of the life behind that name. In that moment, we are reminded that safeguarding peace is a responsibility shared by all humanity. |
November 11 has long stood as a day to honor those who gave their lives for peace and freedom.

it is not a relationship of competition, but a hierarchical structure of values that evolves over time
if remembrance is our moral duty to the past, responsibility is our ethical obligation to the future
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] does not seek to replace existing traditions of remembrance, but to elevate and extend them into a global framework of shared responsibility
without remembrance, there can be no responsibility; yet without responsibility, history repeats itself
traditional remembrance honors the past; G.Y.B transforms remembrance into a system of responsibility that safeguards the future

| ① past-centered | remembrance remains disconnected from meaningful systemic change in the present |
| ② war-centered | industrial accidents and technological disasters remain excluded from the scope of modern risk considerations |
| ③ emotion-centered | while grounded in sorrow, respect, and gratitude, it lacks a robust structural system for prevention |
shared core values underlying national November 11 remembrance ceremonies
respect for sacrifice, a renewed commitment to peace, and the sustained preservation of historical memory
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] is “a day of responsibility dedicated to ensuring that sacrifice is never repeated”
| [ G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY ] ✔ three key pillars of innovation | |
| ① memory → responsibility (ethical upgrade) | existing : “Remember” G.Y.B : “Remember + Take Responsibility” |
| ② war → global disasters impacting all of humanity (an expanded scope) | war, industrial accidents, and technological disasters → encompassing the full spectrum of real risks in modern society |
| ③ emotional response → a systemic transformation (structural shift) | the establishment of a proactive prevention system |
■ Version 1
national remembrance days on November 11 honor the past, while G.Y.B transforms remembrance into a responsibility toward the future
■ Version 2
rather than remaining confined to preserving national November 11 commemorations as historical memory, [G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] presents a forward-looking ethical framework that integrates remembrance, responsibility, prevention, and systematic safety
■ Version 3
if remembrance fails to prevent repetition, it remains incomplete; G.Y.B exists to fulfill remembrance by transforming it into responsibility

| national remembrance observances held on November 11 across countries Armistice / Remembrance / UN ↓ (expansion) ↓ G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY |
[G.Y.B – 11.11 R&R DAY] does not seek to replace existing international remembrance observances of November 11. Humanity has long honored those who made sacrifices in times of war. Yet today, humanity confronts new forms of tragedy—including industrial accidents, technological disasters, and preventable loss of life. In response, G.Y.B seeks to fulfill remembrance by transforming the memory of all victims into a shared sense of responsibility
