    1. The medal in Korean says that his treatment for cancer has ended. It was prostate cancer.

      He no longer needs yearly check ups. I didn’t ask him if the medal was gold plated.

    2. Congratulations on your dad’s recovery.

      **암 치료 : Cancer Treatment**

      **종료 기념 : Celebrating the End (of)**

      For those who’s curious as to what’s written on the back, it’ll say:

      **지나간 날에 박수를 : Applause to the days gone**

      **다가올 날에 행복을… : Happiness to the days ahead…**

      I’m sure the OP will be able to see this for themselves.

      Cancer fucking sucks. I’m glad he got the medal. I hope more people in Korea who are battling it will get one too.

    4. Cancer took people from me. We are all fighting cancer every day.

      Your dad won a big victory in that fight. Please convey him my compliments. I salute him.
