This was not my first time in Washington but the Korean Memorial was not there the last time I went. I was looking forward to seeing it and I was not disappointed. It was awesome...the wall just as much as the soldier statues. I don't think the words "Freedom is not Free" ever hit me just they way they did... more

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is very moving. The statues and the wall pictures carved into it are a great reminder of those who fought in the war.

I went with my class to DC years ago, and we made a stop to the Korean War Memorial. I've been uneasy around statues ever since. Believe me, this is a good thing.

This is one of the memorials it is especially breathtakin to see in the dusk or evening to show off the etchings in the granite wall better. Particularly at night it is almost as if you are in the scene with them. more

Since my grandfather fought in the Korean Conflict, this was on our list of must-dos. It was quiet and out of the way. The statues were incredible, with awesome detail. The granite wall was marvelous. My only complaint was that the grounds were not kept up as I expected them to be; some of the shrubs were dead/dying, and it... more

Worth a stop. more
