Besides the field, there is a 164 foot long granite wall with etchings of various servicemen and women who served in Korea.

 

     Nearby there is a circular "Pool of Remembrance", a raised granite curb that lists the nations that participated in the United Nations efforts, and an area devoted to POWs, KIAs, and MIAs.

 

 

Personal Reflections:

 

     As I gazed at the Korean War Memorial, I became over-whelmed with a sense of yearning for some reasoning.  The faces etched on the long granite wall seemed to be crying out for a explaination.  This was truly an eerie feeling.  If you listen very carefully, you can almost hear these statues and the faces upon the wall tell the story of "The Forgotten War". The memorial is in my opinion, one of the most memorable of my family's trip to Washington.
