Korean War Memorial

We have visited the Korean War Memorial many times. Our friends from the Midwest visited when we first moved to DC sixteen years ago. One of them had a husband who served during the Korean War. My dad also served after having been in WWII. The site has been under construction for quite some time to add some new features. It now has a memorial pool and a wall of remembrance - similar to the Vietnam Memorial. Today we took our morning walk starting by the WWII Memorial, then walked down the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. I was searching for water photos for the challenge this week and was hoping to find something interesting. Along the way we stopped by the Korean War Memorial to see what changes were made. The figures on the field were always captivating. It’s simply incredible how many names are engraved on the stone surround including both American and Korean names. There was a steady stream of visitors and it was a beautiful day otherwise. There are simply too many memorials in this town. It’s very sad to walk through it.
