A commemorative seed collection
22 Seeds. 22 Stories.
One Shared Future.
A box of 22 kraft-paper capsules — one for each UN Sending State that stood with Korea, 1950–1953. Inside each: a real seed of that nation’s native flower, and the story it carries. Scan it. Read it. Plant it. Let it grow.
Drag the capsule to turn it — the QR code is real.

A story that grows
During the Korean War, twenty-two nations sent their soldiers, ships, aircraft and hospitals to defend a country most of them had never seen — sixteen in combat, six in medicine. Story Seeds holds their memory in a form you can plant: beneath each capsule’s label sits a QR code, and inside, a seed of that nation’s native flower.
“Just as a seed grows into a plant, the stories of peace, friendship, and sacrifice continue to grow in future generations.”
Voices of the veterans
Their voices. Our shared history.
Behind every seed is a person. Meet the people who served in Korea, and hear the memories they carry.

Combat Support
The Turkish Brigade was among the first to answer the UN call, and at Kunu-ri in November 1950 its rear-guard stand covering the withdrawal of allied forces became one of the war's defining acts of sacrifice. Turkish soldiers fought again with distinction at Kumyangjang-ni, earning citations and a reputation for extraordinary courage.
