The National Mall in Washington, D.C. is filled with monuments meant to inform and move. Of these, none personifies the humanity of war like the Korean War Memorial. It features nineteen stainless steel statues representing Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force members who served. At around seven feet tall, they are just slightly larger than life and look like they could step through the junipers and begin talking to you.
Look closely at the wall and you’ll see the reflections of those statues.
The dedication stone summarizes the significance beautifully.
Our nation honors her sons and daughters who answered the call to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met.
Make the Journey Fun 
Great post 😁
❤ – really must make it back to DC one of these days. I was so little when I went I barely remember anything.
It’s been a while for me too so I’m hoping to go with a friend this year. Hope you make it back soon!
My father was drafted for the Korean war, he returned home and married my mother. He never talked about the war. I haven’t been to Washington in thirty years and so many wonderful things have been added! Thank you!
I’m so glad it meant something to you. Hopefully you will be able to visit Washington and see the memorial someday. Thank you for reading!
