Designed by Frank Gaylord and dedicated on July 27, 1995 by American President Bill Clinton and South Korean President Kim Young Sam, this memorial depicts nineteen American soldiers making their way through the rough terrain of Korea.
The Memorial was dedicated in June 1970, and was envisioned by architect Philip Johnson as an open tomb or cenotaph. The plain white walls appear to be free-floating, capturing the feeling of loss felt around the world following Kennedyâs assassination in Dallas on November 22, 1963. By day, the floating white walls are reflected on the monumentâs gilt lettering. At night, the monument is a beautifully floodlit city landmark.
