Should be a must see for all ages and is short woak to the Lincoln and Vietnam Mem more

"Freedom is not free" is the quote located at this memorial, and it really makes you stop and think about their sacrifice. I felt that this was the most beautiful war monument in DC. I was VERY offended when a woman WASHED HER HANDS in the water element of the monument, and her boy stuck his sneaker in it to... more

I don't know why this memorial doesn't get the respect it deserves. I found it beautiful and awe-inspiring. Take the time to walk around and see the statues from different angles. The granite wall is beautiful. Faces carved into the wall are rough spots chiseled out of the smooth black granite - really magnificent. It is a moving experience and... more

Of the memorials on the mall, this was definitely not the best one. It did, however, do justice as all the memorials on the mall were outstanding. It was moving to see the Soldiers in wet-weather gear in a patrol in front of the polished granite of the memorial. There were also a few Korean veterans speaking to the media... more

The Korean War always seems to be sort of "forgotten" in US history, so it is fitting that this Memorial is simply outstanding! There are 19 huge statues of men in combat gear, making their way across juniper bushes that represent the rugged terrain. All four branches of the military are represented. Behind the statues is the most impressive part... more

Features larger than lifesize statues (7 foot each) representing the different branches of the military each dressed in combat gear ready for war in Korean. A worthwhile visit after visiting the Lincoln Memorial. more
