Sentinel made a historic visit to the United Nations in New York City to commemorate the 37th anniversary of the May 18th Democratic Uprising in Gwanju, South Korea. Sentinel demonstrated dedication and compassion for the Great People of South Korea; to date there has only been 2 other countries to have such similar historic accounts read-in to the official UN records.
