A soldier who became a hot topic in an online community for helping an elderly woman collecting waste paper was awarded a division commander's commendation.
On the 6th, a video of a soldier helping an old woman pulling a waste paper cart was posted on an online community.
In the video, a soldier rushes to help an elderly woman who is struggling with waste paper piled up on her wheelbarrow about to collapse.
The informant who witnessed this scene at a nearby cafe said, "It was a very cold day, but it was so cool to help her grandmother without hesitation."
This led to praise from netizens.
The main character of the video was a sergeant who is about to be discharged next month.
He said, "As a soldier who protects the lives and property of the people, I just did what I had to do, but it's embarrassing to be known."
The Army plans to present the division commander's commendation at the sergeant's discharge ceremony.
Receiving a commendation from a division commander usually gives a reward vacation, but unfortunately, the sergeant whose discharge date has already been set cannot receive a reward vacation.
