ROLL OF HONOR—KOREAN WAR
The photograph is of the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the mall in Washington D.C. In addition to the 18 statues (see previous link), there is a 164 feet long highly polished California granite wall which features more than 2,500 photographic images of the troops who fought in the war. These include images of nurses, doctors and other support staff. The wall can be be seen in the rear of the photograph behind the statues. In the foreground is the "Pool of Remembrance," which measures 30 feet in diameter and is made of black granite from Canada. (Photograph by Esther Doyle Read, 27 April 2004).
