Korean War Memorial

Korean War was not a war fought between the US and Korea but a war between the United Nations and Korea over North Korea trying to invade South Korea.  North and South Korea are separated by what parallel?

(Hint- the created wanted to show that number in the memorial - 19 soldiers 
and their reflection wall)


These statues are not made of bronze like many others but are made of stainless steal.  It makes them look cold- Korea is cold, mountainous, and rainy.  What do you notice the soldiers  wearing?

Many suffered from cold related illness more than fighting.  It show that ...
The wall on the far side has etchings of those who died in the war.
