Go in the evening when everything else is closed! Nicely lit, less crowded, and it felt more powerful/meaningful after the sun had gone down.

Emotionally moving monument. The new additions added to the original statues were especially meaningful for my husband a Korean War Veteran. He found the names of his friends that were in his unit that were killed and had a place here to pay last respects and tribute to. A very special place.

My dad served in the Korean War. He is still alive at the age of 83 I think it would be a wonderful idea to start a memorial with names of those who served. It would be touching for those who still live and can tell their story. Can this be possible

Is there a bathroom?

Bobby Johns | Sep 30, 2018
R David Koby | Sep 30, 2018

The closest restroom is at the nearby Lincoln Memorial.  Facing the Lincoln Memorial, there is a doorway to the left of the stairs.  Go in that doorway to find the restrooms.  That is also where you will find the elevator that brings you up to the inner sanctum of the memorial.
