Biden said, referring to the distressing situation when his eldest son, Bo Biden, fought in the Iraq war in the past, he said, "I know what it really means to be part of a military family."
Bo died of brain cancer in 2015.
The purpose of this event seems strong to commemorate the sacrifice and service of the US military veterans, but it is noteworthy that the Korean War memorial was found and decorated.
Biden's impression is that he is focusing on restoring the alliance and restoring US leadership by sending a message saying "The United States is back" by making calls with the leaders of overseas allies after the victory was confirmed.
The day before, Biden expressed his willingness to revitalize the alliance between the Atlantic coastal countries, that is, the United States and Europe, in succession with traditional European allies such as Britain, France and Germany.
Biden's initiative is to abolish President Donald Trump's US-priorityism in recognition that it has caused a rift in the alliance and undermined US leadership in the international community.
Biden's wreath was also made on the 12th Korean time, when it was observed that President Moon Jae-in would make the first phone call after the election.
In a recent contribution to Yonhap News, Biden highly praised the ROK-US alliance as "a bloody alliance" and called Korea a'miracle on the Han River', saying, "We have deep respect for everything Korea has achieved since the war. I expressed my special heart.
Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported that Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is coordinating to hold the first telephone conference with Biden-elect on the 12th Japan time.
From the perspective of Biden-elect, it can be interpreted as a series of phone calls with European allies the day before, and then to strengthen cooperation with Asian allies such as Korea and Japan.
