English: Washington, D.C. (Jun. 16, 2003) -- The Korean War Veterans Memorial lies in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial, near the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial on the west end of the Mall. It consists of 19 larger-than-life U.S. ground troopers equipped for battle moving toward an American flag. Etched into the granite are photographs of hundreds of faces taken from military archives. The Korean War Veterans Memorial honors those Americans who answered the call, those who worked and fought under the trying of circumstances, and those who gave their lives for the cause of freedom. Etched at the head of the monument is: “Our Nation honors her sons and daughters, who answered the call to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met.” U.S. Navy photo by Chief Warrant Officer Seth Rossman.
