Happy 52nd Anniversary to Sa Bu Nim!
Today is the 52nd Anniversary of Sa Bu Nim arriving in the United States of America.
One of the most important days in Sa Bu Nim’s life was June 25, 1974, the day he arrived in the United States of America. He was proud of his Korean heritage and equally proud of becoming a United States Citizen.
Today, let us remember, honor and celebrate and Sa Bu Nim and his legacy. We will always be grateful to Sa Bu Nim for bringing his gift of the Universal Light and Wisdom of Shim Gum Do to us.
We love you Sa Bu Nim!
