OK...where's the USS Columbia memorial? :) I've lived here 7 years and worked downtown for 5, and never heard of it.

Memorial Park is a four-acre tract of land in the Congaree Vista between Main Street and the river. The property is bordered by Hampton, Gadsden , Washington and Wayne Streets and is one block south of Finlay Park .
This park was created to serve as a memorial to those who served their county and presently has monuments honoring the USS Columbia warship and those that served with her during WWII, the China-Burma-India Theater Veterans of WWII, causalities of the Pearl Harbor attack of December 7, 1941 who were from South Carolina, and the State Vietnam War Veterans. The park was dedicated in November 1986 along with the unveiling of the South Carolina Vietnam Monument . In June 2000, the Korean War Memorial was dedicated at Memorial Park.
