This study purposes on searching the measure to enhance the honor of war veterans who fought in the Korean War through analyzing a history and a process of excavation of the remains. For comprehensive research, this paper refers to a data of the Korean Ministry of National Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense which specifically conducted a research about a process of excavation. According to analysis, following points can be raised. First, the Korean government has excavated 9,678 fallen so far in spite of their painstaking endeavor. Since the current number of burial has only been recorded thirty thousands, though, the process of excavation should be carried forward until another one hundred and thirty thousands who died in the battle of the Korean War is completely found. Second, the Korean government should utilize the process of excavation as an educational venue for national security and prepare more data of dead bodies located within the North Korea and the demilitarized zone (DMZ). In priority, in-depth research about combatants should be conducted particularly by keeping abreast of the region recorded a large loss. Third, since the result of identification is no more than 79 bodies (1.2 percent), the government should devote to secure a DNA of the bereaved. For this process, some efforts are necessary to procure DNA samples of the bereaved by rallying the pan government collaboration. Finally, a mutual assistant to excavate the Communist Chinese Army should be required to enhance the diplomatic ties between the South Korea and China. Furthermore, humanitarian endeavor for drawing an excavation of the North Korean army is also needed to the preparation of reunification era. Indirectly, the event of meeting of separated families and communal research about the Korean War between the South and North Korean governments are demanded significantly. Based upon above points, this study focused on the way of heightening the honor of war veterans and raising patriotic spirits of Koreans.
