The Korean War Veterans Memorial is dedicated to all those who served during the Korean War, the first major conflict of the Cold War. On October 28, 1986, Congress authorized the American Battle Monuments Commission to establish a memorial in Washington, DC. Ground was broken in November 1993, and the memorial was dedicated on July 27, 1995, the 42^nd anniversary of the Armistice.

The garden memorial includes a reflecting pool, lifesize statues depicting servicemen, and a black granite wall with murals of actual men and women who served in the Korean War.

There are park rangers available from 8:00 am to 12 midnight daily, except Christmas Day. For more information on ranger programs, call (202) 619-7222
