WASHINGTON, DC - Freshly fallen snow on the solder sculptures at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. The Korean War Memorial on the National Mall on a snowy winter morning, with the American flag in the distance. The Korean War Veterans Memorial, unveiled in 1992, sits on the northwestern end of the National Mall, not far from the Lincoln Memorial. It consists of several elements designed by different people and groups. It has a triangular footprint with the main elements being the sculpture by Frank Gaylord titled “The Column, ” consisting of 19 stainless steel solders, each over 7 feet tall. Facing them is a reflective granite wall, designed by Louis Nelson, that is etched with the faces of thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the war. At one end of the triangle, behind the soldiers, is a grove of trees. At the other is a large American flag and a small Pool of Remembrance.
