서울시는 '유엔참전용사 국제추모의 날'(11월11일)을 맞아 11일 광화문광장 감사의 정원에서 유엔참전용사의 희생과 헌신을 기리는 추모행사를 열었다.

유엔참전용사 국제추모의 날은 6·25전쟁에 참전해 대한민국의 자유와 평화를 지킨 유엔참전용사의 희생과 공헌을 기리고, 유엔참전국과 함께 이들을 추모하기 위한 날이다.

이날 저녁에는 시민이 함께 촛불을 밝히는 '추모의 초' 프로그램이 진행된다.

일몰 후 현장을 찾은 시민 누구나 LED 초를 무료로 받아 감사의 정원 지상부인 '감사의 빛 23' 일대에서 불을 밝힐 수 있다.

오후 8시에는 유엔을 상징하는 파란색으로 감사의 빛 23 특별 점등이 진행된다.

참전 순서에 따라 23개의 조명이 차례로 켜지고 23번의 점등과 소등이 반복된다.

아울러 이날 감사의 빛 23 앞과 프리덤 홀 입구에는 시민이 유엔참전용사에게 추모와 감사의 메시지를 작성할 수 있는 공간이 마련된다.

오세훈 서울시장은 이날 오전 감사의 정원을 찾아 추모의 마음을 담은 리스를 걸고 묵념하며 참전용사들의 숭고한 희생과 헌신을 기렸다. 참전용사들을 향한 감사와 추모의 마음을 담아 "숭고한 희생, 잊지 않겠습니다"라는 내용의 메시지도 남겼다.

이날 남겨진 추모와 감사의 메시지는 지하 '프리덤 홀' 계단 벽면의 추모월(Wall)에 15일까지 전시할 예정이다.

서울시는 시민과 외국인 방문객이 추모의 순간을 함께 기록하고 공유할 수 있도록 기념 촬영용 피켓도 제공한다.

이와 함께 SNS 해시태그 '#유엔참전용사국제추모의날_광화문', '#감사의정원' 등을 활용한 메시지 업로드 활동으로 추모의 의미를 온라인으로 확산할 계획이다.

강석 서울시 균형발전본부장은 "유엔참전용사의 희생과 헌신이 있었기에 오늘날 대한민국의 자유와 평화가 가능했다"며 "이번 추모 행사가 시민들의 일상 속 소중한 기억으로 남아 자유와 평화의 가치를 함께 되새기는 계기가 되길 바란다"고 말했다.
