The Korean War Memorial At Soldiers Walk Memorial Park
Показать описание
A memorial to the Korean war will be on the left side as you continue down Soldier's Walk. The memorial depicts 3 soldiers, an American soldier with their bayonet ready, another American soldier throwing a grenade and the third, representing a South Korean soldier carrying ammunition.
The memorial is a tribute to Communism's first defeat and shows where the action took place and the statistics of the conflict. It pays tribute to the 1,789,000 American's who served, including the 33,651 were killed in action, 103, 284 were wounded in action and 13,0006 were considered POW/MIA
The Korean War began as a civil war between North and South Korea, but the conflict soon became international when, under U.S. leadership, the United Nations joined to support South Korea while the People’s Republic of China (PRC) entered to aid North Korea. The war left Korea divided and brought the Cold War to Asia.
The UN entry into the conflict led to a swift internationalization of what had been an internal struggle.
Though the United States dedicated the greatest number of troops to this conflict, soldiers from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Ethiopia, France, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey and the United Kingdom also sent troops.
Soldiers Walk is the largest contiguous Memorial Park in the United States dedicated to our Veterans and all those have served since the Revolutionary War.
The park is 1/2 mile long and has 23 memorials with 42 statues depicting American conflicts throughout our history.
The park is funded completely by private donations. The people of Arcadia donate their time and services to maintain the park.
Each year tens of thousands of people visit the park and on the first weekend of every August, the park hosts Ashley For The Arts, drawing crowds of over 30,000 for this event alone.
Please visit the website, where we will be completing a documentary on every memorial and conflict represented.
