Korean War Memorial

The Korean War Veterans Memorial was also intensely moving. You can read about the soldiers having to cross fields in a spread out manner so that if one of them stepped on a mine field the others around him wouldn't be as likely to get killed or maimed, but to see the statues of these soldiers doing that made my heart lurch. The faces are a close up of the wall that says "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE" They are super-imposed on the granite, and it really makes you feel as though their spirits are staring out at you from the wall.
