min visit
This powerful tribute features 19 larger-than-life stainless steel soldier statues in combat gear, standing in a striking patrol formation across a triangular field. The memorial's haunting Pool of Remembrance and walls inscribed with statistics create an deeply reflective experience honoring those who served in the 1950-1953 conflict. Visitors often find themselves moved by the lifelike expressions and poignant setting just steps away from the Lincoln Memorial.
