Located near the Lincoln Memorial, this monument features statues of 19 soldiers carefully making their way through unknown terrain. Photographic images on a 164-foot granite wall pays tribute to the thousands of others who contributed to the war; nurses, mechanics, crew chiefs and support personnel.

Include in a National Mall Stroll

As part of your stroll through the National Mall, take the time to walk through here for a reflective moment to recognize those who fought in the Korean War.

Nice, easy bike loop. Right across the water where you can park, find a table and eat seafood from the warf. Play ground and bathrooms are also nearby.

Amazing volleyball courts. Super friendly, noncompetitive, easy to walk into a game. It could use better shading and more sand though. Beautiful setting.
