This is the Korean War Memorial—in winter. The Korean War Veterans Memorial was authorized on Oct. 28, 1986
“…to honor members of the United States Armed Forces who served in the Korean War, particularly
those who were killed in action, are still missing inaction, or were held as prisoners of war.”
The site is located adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial directly across the reflecting pool
from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (pictured in Post 1114) in Washington, D.C.
There are 19 statues sculpted by Frank Gaylord of Barre, Vt., and cast by Tallix Foundries of Beacon, N.Y.
They are approximately 7’3” tall, heroic scale and consist of 14 Army, 3 Marines, 1 Navy, 1 Air Force.
