DC Field Trip Part 3 - Korean War Memorial

Posted in Maneuvers

Originally posted on my MamaBugs' Blog

This one is haunting. The 19 bigger than real life statues of soldiers scouting through the field are realistic and mesmerizing. You get caught up in looking in to the eyes of each man and wondering…..

The 164 foot black granite wall has etchings of faces from actual photographs of US soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines. Did you know that it took more than 40 years to erect a memorial for these vets? And did you know that 60% of the $18million was DONATED by the Korean War veterans themselves and NO government funds were used? www.nps.gov/kwvm
