This memorial is hauntingly beautiful. It's one of the more underrated memorials in DC. It fights for attention between the World War II Monument and the Lincoln Monument. The faces of the soldiers and the incorporation of the foliage into the overall piece makes it feel very dynamic.
Its between Martin Luther King Jr and Linkoln memorials. We were walking from one place to another and got there. Interesting place, do not skip it
What a touching experience walking through this Memorial! Amazing and worth the trip to see this in person
A unique memorial to what is known as the
"forgotten war." The life size statues of soldiers at war are compelling and the reflective wall is thought provoking. A genuinely interesting memorial.
Very cool to see, should definitely be included on your trip. From a distance it might look like the wall is dirty but upon closer further inspection you can actually see the pictures on the wall which were etched into the wall using real photos taken during the war that are kept at the National Archives. There are 19 statues that stand over 7 ft tall and they're reflections make 38, which was the normal size of a squad that would travel through the jungle together during the war. It is very sombering and enlightening when you see the reflection of the status and the emotion on their face.
