Episode 7 Home

A few hours' drive takes you to Private Guoz's house.

In front is a funeral car carrying a coffin.

Lieutenant Colonel Yusia was following right behind him.

At that time, a truck followed behind Lieutenant Colonel Yusia's vehicle.

The truck tried to overtake and pass.

But the driver saw the coffin covered with the national flag.

He took off his hat and turned on his car headlights to pay his respects.

The vehicles following behind also drove to express their condolences.

After driving for several hours, we arrived at Private Guoz's home.

When I arrived at my hometown, Major Lee Seung-jun was there.
