Korean War Museum
Here is a United Nations recognition of the various countries who took part in the Korean campaign in 1950. A friend has reminded me that there is a Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington DC to honor those who served in the Korean Conflict. You can see it HERE
About the pictures of the Korean War Memorial in Seoul. Over here this is the "forgotten war". It wasn't until 1999 (46 years after the fact) that there was a memorial erected and it took a lot of work by the Korean Vets to get it. Vietnam, of course, had a memorial fairly quickly. My husband was in the USMC as a wireman stringing telephone wires and later was a POW for 2½ years. He was captured in North Korea and marched up to China. He nearly lost his feet to frost bite during the march.
