Just a word about the Korean War Memorial. It is kind of tucked away off to the side of the mall and overshadowed by the Viet Nam and, now, the WWII Memorials. However, it is absolutely unique and one of the most haunting of all the memorials in Washington. I would certainly encourage anyone visiting DC to put it on their “must see” list. Although we live in Virginia and vist DC fairly frequently, we overlooked it for years. After stumbling on it, we have been back several times, in fact whenever we have out of town visitors.

I absolutely agree …

The Korean Memorial was one of the highlights of my recent DC trip, overshadowed only by watching the Changing Of The Guard at the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier.

BTW, the men manning the info booth at the Korean Memorial are/were quite friendly … and were almost struck to tears when I shook their hands (they were KW Vets) and thanked them for their service and mentioned how I know they often times get lost/over-looked in war history and remembrance …

That is why I used the photo that I did. Also notice, the story is about 3 soldiers…

I couldn’t see a more fitting photo.
