Description
An account of the resource
This striking memorial on the National Mall stands out with its steel larger-than-life statues of Korean servicemen wearing ponchos that appear to be blowing in the wind. The statues represent 14 Army, 3 Marine, 1 Navy and 1 Air Force members and are ethnically diverse. The long mural wall is etched so that it appears three dimensional and presents scenes from the conflict and the highly polished black granite reflects the statues. The reflections appear to show 38 statues symbolic of the 38th parallel. The reflective pool at the far end of the memorial provides a quite place around the Freedom is Not Free wall that lists the casualties in the war. When lit up at night, the statues and mural wall are almost eerily lifelike.
