Outside the Legislature > Washington State History and Culture > Memorials > Korean War Memorial Korean War Memorial The Korean War Veterans Memorial was authorized in 1989 by the Washington State Legislature and has two purposes: to express the gratitude of the citizens of this state for all who served in Korea; and, to project the spirit of service, willingness to sacrifice, and dedication to freedom in remembering those Washingtonians who lost their lives in the war.

Korean War 1950–53 The crisis in Korea originated in the closing phases of the Second World War, when control of the Korean peninsula, formerly occupied by Japan, was entrusted to the Allies, and the United States and the Soviet Union divided responsibility for the country between them at the 38th parallel. Over the course of the next few years, the Soviet Union fostered a strong communist regime in the north, while the US supported the government in the south; by mid-1950, tensions between the two zones, each under a different regime, had escalated to the point where two hostile armies were building up along the border.

History & significance: It was in 1989 that the Washington State Legislature, at the urging of numerous veterans’ organizations, business owners, and citizens, authorized the first ever state-sponsored Korean War Memorial. The project was approved for two purposes: "to express the gratitude of the citizens of this state for all who served in Korea, and to project the spirit of service, willingness to sacrifice, and dedication to freedom in remembering those Washingtonians who lost their lives in the war." Roughly 122,000 Washington soldiers served in Korea, now often referred to as "the forgotten war"—532 of these troops were killed.

The memorial was authorized by Congress in 1986, and a national competition was held to determine the design, but squabbling over implementation of the design delayed the project and ground was not broken until 1992. It was finally dedicated in 1995. The memorial consists of several sections. The triangular "field of service" has 19 stainless steel statues depicting a squad on patrol; the multi-racial depiction is symbolic rather than realistic, including Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy troops together. The landscaping around and under the statues is meant to evoke Korean terrain. On one side of the statues, a granite curb lists the 22 United Nations members who supported South Korea in the war and numbers of those killed, wounded, missing in action and taken prisoner. On the other side is a polished black granite wall, which reflects the statues and on which are etched images of more than 2,400 servicemen and -women. Nearby is a "pool of remembrance" surrounded by linden trees. Books and souvenirs relating to the memorial and to the Korean War are available close by in the Lincoln Memorial bookstore. -- Gwendolyn Bradley (Photo: Sean Hartnett) Ratings & User Reviews Members (10): Rate & review Korean Memorial 06/29/2004 Its the best because its veterans didn't cry and whine like the Vietnam Vets--In Korea 33,000 died (divide that number by 3 yrs) not 10 years as in Vietnam.

From 1950 to 1953, the United States joined with United Nations forces in Korea to take a stand against what was deemed a threat to democratic nations worldwide. At war's end, a million and a half American veterans returned to a peacetime world of families, homes, and jobs - and to a country long reluctant to view the Korean War as something to memorialize.
A central walk-way leads to a semi-enclosed contemplative space. A boulder from a Korean battlefield is a focal commemorative point, and a word in the Korean language script represents "Peace and Independence".
Reviews of Korean War Memorial ( 1-1 of 1 ) “An amazing place for people interested in military history” CPT_Hoolie Grand Rapids, MI Nov 5, 2007 2/2 found this review helpful The Korean War Memorial is an absolutely amazing place. The name "war memorial" is a bit misleading for Americans, who think of a memorial as a static display similar to the Vietnam Wall or the WWII Memorial in Washington, DC. "War Museum of Korea" would be a better title for this place.
