Some 250 national honorees and their families have been invited to the presidential office in Seoul, it said. Those being recognized include people who fought in the country's military in times of conflict as well as those that received national citations for dedicated service.

Since 2013, Park has held the event in June, which South Korea marks as its "Memorial Month." (Yonhap)
