Korean War Veterans Memorial

I guess it has been a while since I was last in DC. I had not seen the Korean War Memorial, yet  it was completed in 1995. Many people suggest that it is one of the best memorial in DC.

In a word -- Stunning!

Unlike other memorials, KWM depicts troops on patrol and gives a look/sense into their intensity. It is well located, suggesting an active patrol emerging from the woods. The KWM offers a glimpse into the kind of action that might have occurred during that war.  For us, it was very engaging and evocative.... maybe a bit haunting. There are a total of 19 soldiers.

Here are some of the images from the KWM. We also went back to see it at night -- so have a couple of night shots.
