Which U.S. memorial, dedicated in 1995, honors service members who fought in the Korean War?

The Korean War Veterans Memorial, dedicated in 1995, honors service members who fought in the Korean War.

The memorial stands on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., near the Lincoln Memorial. Its best-known feature is a field of 19 stainless-steel statues representing soldiers from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force. Their faces and equipment portray a patrol moving across difficult terrain.

The 19 figures, reflected in a polished granite wall, create the appearance of 38 soldiers. That number recalls the 38th parallel, associated with the division of Korea and the demilitarized zone established after the fighting.

The memorial was dedicated on July 27, 1995, the 42nd anniversary of the Korean Armistice. It is separate from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, whose wall lists names of Vietnam War casualties.
