Korean War Veterans Memorial

From 1950 to 1953, The United States joined with United Nations forces in Korea to take a stand against what was deemed to be a threat to democratic nations world wide.  At war's end, a million and a half American veterans returned to a peacetime world of families, homes and jobs, and to a country long reluctant to view the Korean War as something to memorialize.  But to the men and women who served, and the more than thirty six thousand who were killed, the conflict could never be forgotten.  

The Korean War Memorial was dedicated on July 27, 1995, more than fifty years after the end of the war.
