Description
An account of the resource
This city plaza is dedicated to honoring San Antonio's many veterans and houses two main memorials to the Korean and Vietnam Wars as well as the Battle of the Bulge. The Korean Memorial is unusual and stunning. A mound of stone and concrete represents a snow-covered foxhole. Two infantrymen, visible only from the shoulders up as they stand guard, peer front and back. They are bundled up for the extreme cold that forces endured on the Korean peninsula. At the top of the mound are placed a combat belt, canteen and several grenades ready for use. It is a stark memorial in the middle of the city but captures the fierce determination on the faces of the men as well as they hardships they endured. There are two several plaques attached to the mound. One gives the statistics on the number of men who served and who were killed or wounded during the war, while a separate plaque lists the names of 7 local men from Company C who lost their lives. Interestingly, near the memorial and adjacent to brick pavers that were purchased to honor individual veterans is a small plaque that gives thanks to the many Korean Americans in the San Antonio area who contributed funds to the memorial.

Description
An account of the resource
This bronze statue of a woman Marine standing tall on a granite base is a replica of the original “Molly Marine” statue created in New Orleans on November 10, 1943. The original was statue was commissioned by a military recruiter to help with recruitment during the war and the sculptor provided the work for free. The original statue was made of concrete because of wartime shortages but in 1966 and 1988 the local Marine Corps League raised funds to have her coated in bronze. The original Molly Marine still stands in New Orleans.

An account of the resource
This simple triangular column of granite was originally designed to honor the men of Marine Platoon 2027 who after their training at Parris Island served honorably in the Vietnam War and miraculously suffered no deaths among the unit. The memorial was erected in 2006 on the 40th anniversary of their unit’s deployment. However, the Marines realized that they could not honor just one unit and so the memorial was dedicated to all Marines who served in Vietnam. The triangular column represents the “V” for Vietnam. A bronze plaque identifies this as the “Fellowship of Valor” that unites all Marines.
