Sara, yes, the statues are the Korean War, and that seems to be the theme for Korean War memorials because there is one near Stevens Point, WI that has satues like this also. The statues are just a bit bigger than real men and women (about 8' tall?) and there's a reason for that, but I don't remember what the reason is. I love memorials like this.

I've never been to DC, but plan on making it there someday.

Great pics, Vermontcat! Looks like you had a wonderful - educational - visit!
