The statues look especially ghostlike at night. Almost like those who made the ultimate sacrifice are right there beside you.

This is a great memorial. It's definitely worth a visit (especially if you enjoy history) though it is pretty solemn.

19 Statues : 14 Army, 2 Marines, 1 Navy, 1 Air Force. Each weighs~1,000 lbs. Reflected on the wall it creates the image of a total of 38 statues , symbolic of the 38th Parallel & 38 months of the war. Read more

A great and beautiful memorial that pays tribute to the Korean War and its veterans

The triangular structure of this memorial is amazing. All 19 stainless steel soldiers are dressed in full combat gear.

Very moving memorial, especially at night. Bless all those who sacrificed all to protect our country .

The Americans did not forget his soldiers ! And that is great!

This is a beautiful monument ! One of the least talked about but it's worth a visit

Really nice reflective place to walk around and take in the atmosphere and remember those who gave their lives

We hope you enjoyed your visit to the Korean War Veterans Memorial. Please join the Trust for the National Mall as we preserve this iconic park for future generations. Read more

Head here on Veterans Day to see some touching tributes.

One of the most powerful, haunting, awesome memorial I have ever seen

This memorial is best seen at night, where the faint light reflects off the granite slabs and soldier 's faces.

Come at night, walk to the wall first, then focus on the statues .

Great serene place. Very moving. At times creepy. Don't miss this!

All the statues are quite frightening at night. Wouldn't recommend bringing your children here when sunset falls.

In 1953 when the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, the fighting stopped, but not the war. Technically, the Korean War is not over, and the fighting can start at anytime.

Incredibly touching memorial and very thought provoking.

164 feet long and 100 tons of polished granite with more than 2500 photographic images of troops that supported the soldiers fighting the war sandblasted onto the wall.

My favorite of all the war memorials. Captures the essence of what the men who served experienced.

Beautiful trees to sit in the shade of as you stare at the pool.

Best time to view this monument is at dusk. Very powerful. ????????

Picture yourself in the rice patties.

Visit it at night, it's takes on a whole other dimension after dark.

One of the better memorials right near the mall and everything else

this is a memorial for those that fought in the "forgotten"war

If you can, take the free tour given by the park rangers!

The drawings on the marble were AMAZING. Freedom is not free.

RIP to all who were killed in the Korean War

Memorial for all the participating nations in the war

My Dad carried a BAR !¡!

Look around you, there are always living veterans from every conflict gathered at this memorial.

Thank you for your sacrifice . Thanks to you, I am living in a free country and enjoying democracy

Memorial to the veterans of the Korean War

Awesome during night time

Definitely worth seeing.

Bring your children...teach them about sacrifice .

My favorite DC memorial

The South Korea president was here the day before I visited.

They represent those who died in the war well .

As said by many others, come at night if at all possible. A true testament to Freedom is Never Free. God speed warrior's.

No matter where you are there is one soldier statue looking directly at you

Beautiful and peaceful .
