i went on this tour at night, so it was very hard to see and i did not bring a flash light. Be sure to bring one.

This unique memorial is a must visit. Go at night when the "troops" are spotlighted. Very inspiring.
I love the way the memorial is set up; the reflection of the soldiers against the granite. Emotional.
This is one of the most chilling memorials as they have life size service members shattered in an area. You could feel the fear and imagine what it would be like to be at war. It broke my heart. It is a must see if you are in DC.
Visit this memorial at night so you can see the shadows and truly understand why it was constructed the way it was. It is a beautiful memorial and tucked away behind the Vietnam wall.
There isn't a memorial in D.C. that isn't a beautiful work of art while also serving as a respectful tribute. The Korean War Veterans Memorial however is truly a visually haunting site, depicting a squad on patrol and capped off by the carved granite message "Freedom Is Not Free."
As I like to do early on Saturday mornings I was trolling the Mall and it was quite cool and foggy. I turned a corner and came upon the Korean War Memorial. Shrouded in fog it virtually came alive for me. Had never seen this memorial and in the sunshine it has quite a different impact but please don't miss...

I really wish I had seen this Memorial at night. The eeriness of this even in the day creates a haunting tableau of the soldiers patrolling through the greenery. The faces and the angles of their bodies are so lifelike its amazing. Nearby is a reflecting pool and benches that you can sit and have a quiet moment.
The statues of the solders spread out walking through the field are amazing. We saw a lot of memorials as night and I recommend you do that to this memorial. Interesting side note, anywhere you stand in the memorial a statue of a soldier is looking at you. I was told it was to represent the soldiers always looking out...

This memorial was very moving and overwhelmingly sad. The beautiful statues of men in uniform brought tears to our eyes. The granite wall with engraved faces was beautiful. All in all, a must see.
